Representatives from the Secretariat made a planning trip to Alaska at the prospect of the Beringia expedition in 2005. Schedule July 2004

During the 2002/03 season Sweden participated in EPICA with a drill technician, who was stationed at the German Kohnen station. Research leader: Margareta Hansson, Stockholm University Schedule November 2002–January 2003

AMANDA (Antarctic Muon And Neutrino Detector Array) was a collaboration project between Sweden, USA, Germany and Belgium and was the precursor to the neutrino telescope IceCube. Research leader: Per Olof Hulth, Stockholm University Schedule...

The earth’s climate is determined by the circulation of the atmosphere and the oceans. Our northern oceans are intimately involved in these circulation processes. Disturbances and changes in the large-scale circulation systems that regulate...

DML 2002/03 included research projects in glaciology, meteorology, atmosphere physics and medicine. A Swedish/Dutch monitoring project had their automatic weather stations replaced at the Wasa and Svea stations. Research projects Ice stream...

Climate change on South Georgia during the last 20,000 years. Research leader: Gunhild Rosqvist, Stockholm University Schedule December 2002–February 2003

To date, the MARA atmospheric radar has been making measurements at the Swedish research station Wasa and at the Norwegian station Troll. The radar is currently located at the Indian research station Maitri. Moving MARA to new locations makes it...

Significant changes in the behaviour of West Antarctic ice sheet catchments are delivering increased ice volumes to the ocean. To assess future trajectories of such change it is paramount to examine the longer-term stability and variability of...

TripleJunction was part of the research project Quaternary Environment of the Eurasian North (QUEEN), which was a collaboration between eight European nations researching the last 250,000 years of climate and environmental change at the northern...

Knowledge of these changes will help us to reconstruct the ice sheet history of south-west Greenland for the same time period by geophysical-glaciological modelling. Principal investigator Svante Björck Lund University

The aim of this research project was to further investigate the occurance of different pathogens (primarily Salmonella and Campylobacter) in the Antarctic wildlife. And, with aid of modern molecular techniques, elucidate epidemiological...

During this season Swedish researchers traveled to the South Pole to participate in maintenance work on the neutrino telescope AMANDA. Among other things, parts of the electronics was replaced. This was part of the long-term planning for the new...

The 2001/02 season of the long-term programme EPICA, European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica, was a great success and resulted in the longest ice core record ever recovered. One researcher from Stockholm University represented Sweden this...
