Bakgrund

The Swedish Polar Research Secretariat (SPRS) is planning an expedition with the icebreaker Oden to northern Greenland from August to September 2024. The expedition GEOEO: North Greenland Earth-Ocean-Ecosystem Observatory will focus on understanding the marine cryosphere’s dynamic history and response to future climate change, including implications for marine and terrestrial ecosystems in North Greenland and the adjacent Arctic Ocean.

This webinar is an initial information meeting addressing researchers affiliated with a Swedish university. A call for projects within the theme is planned for the end of 2022.

The scientific theme GEOEO is decided within the SPRS call for theme proposals and is based on collaboration between scientists from Sweden, US, Denmark and Norway. The theme builds on previous expeditions with the I/B Oden and aims to collaborate with other ship-based expeditions planned to be conducted in the same time period.  The scientific theme is cross-disciplinary, for example spanning across the fields of archaeology, biogeochemistry, climatology and palaeoclimatology, ecology and palaeoecology, geochemistry, genomics, glaciology, marine and terrestrial geology and geophysics, marine and terrestrial biology, oceanography and palaeoceanography.
