Landforms, processes and climate in the active layer, Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica

The principal aim during the expedition 2004/05 was to install data loggers for long-term measurements of ground temperatures at Fossilryggen and Svea, forming a temperature monitoring transect from the coast to the inland escarpment.

Continuous GPS-monitoring at Station Svea

The geodetic task was to continue the Swedish participation in the SCAR Epoch Crustal Movement GPS Campaigns at the Wasa Station and to establish a continuous GPS monitoring site at Svea.

Atmospheric measurements at the Swedish antarctic station Wasa

Everybody knows that the Antarctic meteorological conditions on the ground are rather unique, with low temperature, strong winds and very low precipitation.

UU/IMAU AWS in Dronning Maud Land, 2004/05 activities

In the field season of 2004/05, AWS 5 near Wasa and AWS 6 near Svea were visited by IMAU technician Marcel Portanger, supported by personnel and vehicles from the Swedish Polar Research Secretariat.

Active-layer climate, landforms and processes at Basen and Fossilryggen

This study has as its first objective to establish an active layer temperature monitoring station at Wasa in support of the GTN-P, with two additional stations to be established at Fossilryggen and Svea during the 2004/05 season.
