Canada-Sweden Arctic Ocean 2026

From August 10 to September 20, 2026, the icebreaker Oden and the Canadian Coast Guard Ship (CCGS) Louis S. St-Laurent will conduct a joint expedition to map the seabed in the Arctic Ocean within the framework of the UNCLOS program (United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea). At the same time, an international research school for doctoral students and early-career researchers will be held, focusing on the Arctic climate system, where participants will gain practical experience in research and fieldwork in extreme environments.

Bear Island 2026

Bear Island 2026

In summer 2026, a research expedition will be carried out to Bear Island (Bjørnøya) in the Barents Sea. Over the course of three weeks, researchers will investigate fossils and sedimentary rocks from a period when some of Earth’s earliest large forest ecosystems emerged – approximately 360 million years ago.
