Martin Jakobsson

The Synoptic Arctic Survey (SAS) 2021 expedition was carried out during summer 2021 in the Arctic Ocean, covering a large area including parts of Amundsen Basin, Nansen Basin, the North Pole, Lomonosov Ridge, Morris Jesup Rise and the Yermak Plateau.

With the Swedish icebreaker Oden serving as the research platform, a range of scientific investigations were made. The main scientific goal was to investigate the present state and ongoing transformations of the marine ecosystem. Data provided in the database here comprise high-resolution bathymetry.

The expedition is the Swedish contribution to the SAS Program, a coordinated effort focusing on the status and change of the Arctic ecosystem. The expedition started Northeast of Svalbard and ended on the Yermak Plateau, it lasted from August 2 to September 11, 2021.
