Current Expeditions
SWEDARCTIC 2010
The Swedish Polar Research Secretariat will be supporting several geologically oriented Arctic research expeditions during the 2010 season. The Russian Taymyr Peninsula is a research area of great interest, and the project will focus on its geophysics, glaciation history, and quaternary geology. Glaciation history studies will also be conducted in southwest Greenland.
