Organizers of a U.S.-Swedish workshop on joint Arctic Ocean research using
the Icebreaker (I/B) Oden announce availability of the workshop report.
The workshop was held in Sigtuna, Sweden in late March 2015. It was
funded by the Swedish Polar Research Secretariat (SPRS) and the U.S.
National Science Foundation Polar Programs (NSF/PLR) Division and
jointly organized with the Swedish Research Council (SRC) VR and the
Swedish Research Council Formas. The I/B Oden is operated for research
purposes under a long-term agreement between SPRS and the ship owner,
the Swedish Maritime Administration.
Three objectives were addressed during the workshop:
- Prioritization of scientific themes, geographical regions, sampling
seasons, international collaborations, and future demands on technology
in this harsh environment; - Scientific priorities, collaboration, and synergies for a first
expedition (2017 or 2018) focusing on the linkages and feedbacks among
surface energy, cloud formation, biological processes, and climate in
the High Arctic; and - A process for joint, international decision-making, funding, and
logistics. Science themes were developed for conducting research that
takes advantage of the Oden's ice-breaking and unique ice-maneuvering
capabilities as well as her ability to transit areas that are sparsely
sampled.
