On August 5, 59 scientists on board a Russian research icebreaker set off from Murmansk for the Kara Sea. In the triangle between Franz-Jose-Land, Severnaya Zemlya and Novaya Zemlya, numerous projects will collect data on the effects of climate change on the Arctic Ocean, the land areas and the glaciers and ice caps within four weeks. Another large-scale, multidisciplinary project to increase our understanding of the complexities of climate change. This is Arctic Century Expedition. PolarJournal, in cooperation with the Swiss Polar Institute, will continuously report on this, publish blog entries in German and present some projects in more detail.
So join us, starting next Monday, here on PolarJournal!
