[{"name":"oden-sas-2021-expedition-2","title":"Data from expedition SAS, Arctic Ocean, 2021","summary":"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.\r\n\r\nWith 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.\r\n\r\nThe 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.","citations":"Snoeijs-Leijonmalm Pauline, the SAS-Oden Scientific Party (2022) Expedition Report SWEDARCTIC: Synoptic Arctic Survey 2021 with icebreaker Oden.

The scientific goal of expedition SAS 2021 is to generate a comprehensive primary ecosystem dataset that allows for an improved characterisation of the Arctic Ocean with respect to its physical oceanography, marine ecosystems and carbon cycle. These data will provide a unique baseline that will allow for tracking climate change and its impacts as they unfold in the Arctic region over the coming years, decades and centuries.\r\n\r\nThe expedition SAS 2021 is the Swedish contribution to the international scientist-driven initiative Synoptic Arctic Survey (SAS). Scientists in the fields of biology, chemistry and physics from Denmark, Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden, UK and the USA made up the scientific party of 38.\r\n\r\nThe expedition leader team consisted of the Master of Icebreaker Oden Mattias Petersson, the Chief Scientist Pauline Snoeijs-Leijonmalm, and the Swedish Polar Research Secretariat (SPRS) Expedition Coordinator Maria Samuelsson. The total number of expedition participants was 75, including logistics staff from the SPRS and ship crew from Icebreaker Oden.\r\n\r\n##### Participants\r\n###### Chief scientist\r\n* Pauline Snoeijs-Leijonmalm, Stockholm University, Sweden\r\n\r\n###### Scientific party\r\n* Dennis Amnebrink, Linnaeus University, Kalmar, Sweden\r\n* Yannis Arck, Heidelberg University, Germany\r\n* Clare Bird, University of Stirling, UK\r\n* Kimberley Bird, The Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, UK\r\n* Caroline Bringensparr, Stockholm University, Sweden\r\n* Ian Brown, Plymouth Marine Laboratory, UK\r\n* Carlos Castro, Stockholm University, Sweden\r\n* Julek Chawarski, Stockholm University, Sweden\r\n* Hanna Farnelid, Linnaeus University, Kalmar, Sweden\r\n* Hauke Flores, Alfred Wegener Institute, Bremerhaven, Germany\r\n* Lennart Gerke, Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research, Germany\r\n* Nicole Hildebrandt, Alfred Wegener Institute, Bremerhaven, Germany\r\n* Lina Holthusen, Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research, Germany\r\n* Salar Karam, University of Gothenburg, Sweden\r\n* Christien Laber, Linnaeus University, Kalmar, Sweden\r\n* Prune Leroy, Stockholm University, Sweden\r\n* Anna Lunde Hermansson, Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden\r\n* Frank Menger, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Sweden\r\n* Claudia Morys, Stockholm University, Sweden\r\n* Julia Muchowski, Stockholm University, Sweden\r\n* Sonja Murto, Stockholm University, Sweden\r\n* Amanda Nylund, Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden\r\n* Alexandra Padilla, University of New Hampshire, CCOM, USA\r\n* Clara P\u00e9rez Mart\u00ednez, Stockholm University, Sweden\r\n* John Prytherch, Stockholm University, Sweden\r\n* Janina Rahlff, Linnaeus University, Kalmar, Sweden\r\n* Serdar Sakinan, Wageningen Marine Research, IJmuiden, Netherlands\r\n* Marcus Sundbom, Stockholm University, Sweden\r\n* Emma Svahn, Linnaeus University, Kalmar, Sweden\r\n* Baldvin Thorvaldsson, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Sweden\r\n* Adam Ulfsbo, University of Gothenburg, Sweden\r\n* Javier Vargas Calle, Uppsala University, Sweden\r\n* Ashish Verma, Ume\u00e5 University, Sweden\r\n* Flor Vermassen, Stockholm University, Sweden\r\n* Prof Johan Wikner, Ume\u00e5 University, Sweden\r\n* Lisa Winberg von Friesen, University of Copenhagen, Denmark\r\n* Birthe Z\u00e4ncker, The Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, UK\r\n\r\n###### Reports\r\n- [Cruise report](https:\/\/polar.diva-portal.org\/smash\/get\/diva2:1712331\/FULLTEXT01.pdf)\r\n\r\nSee more information at the [Swedish Polar Research Secretariat](https:\/\/www.polar.se\/en\/expeditions\/synoptic-arctic-survey-2021\/).\r\n\r\n#### Version history\r\n\r\n##### Version 2\r\n4 datasets.\r\n\r\n##### Version 1\r\nInitial release. 1 dataset.","category":"Marine","subcategory":"Expedition","keywords":"Arctic Ocean; Ecosystem; Oceanography; Chemistry; Biology; Marine Geology; Bathymetry; Multibeam; Icebreaker Oden; SAS 2021 expedition","scientist":"Pauline Snoeijs-Leijonmalm, SAS-Oden 2021 Scientific Party","firstname":"Pauline","lastname":"Snoeijs Leijonmalm","address":"Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences; Stockholm University","postalcode":"SE-106 91","city":"Stockholm","province":"","country":"Sweden","parameters":"Earth science > Oceans","location":"Ocean > Arctic Ocean","progress":"","language":"English","project":"Synoptic Arctic Survey (SAS) 2021 expedition","publisher":"Bolin Centre Database","version":"2","constrains":"","access":""}]
