... på bottenlevande alger från havet, har vi lyckats täcka in alla de största habitaten för mikroskopiska alger runt King George Island. Efter att vi analyserat de resterande proverna hemma i Sverige hoppas vi utförligt kunna beskriva hur ...

During periods of intensive fieldwork, when you are in the field (almost) every day without the routine of a normal working hours, it is easy to lose track of which day of the week it actually is. However, keeping track of the date is crucial ...

As part of our research programme during the Arctic Ocean 2016 expedition we were planning to launch meteorological radiosondes every six hours, with the data being used both for research and sent to the EUMETNET service for use in initialising...
The last couple of days, we have been busy with seismic lines. This means that Oden is breaking ice in straight lines through heavy, massive ice with ridges while the Canadian icebreaker Louis S. St-Laurent is ...

... moored in a sea ice environment, a ship trying to keep an exact position or an ice-going vessel without icebreaking capability, might get into serious problems if the forces coming from the ice get too high. To get a better ...
No ship today, it is still working to get trough the ice. Instead there was a fire drill. It is still warm, overcast and no wind. Attached our season ...

Tack vare fint väder blev det ett par produktiva dagar vid en av våra nordligaste fältplatser, Straumsnutane. Den här platsen ligger på västsidan av en isström (en ”flod” av is som rör sig snabbare än den omgivande isen och dränerar...
