We have now passed the expedition midpoint, and the first half brought a mix of experiences. The ice
has been much harder and more difficult than expected.
Greetings from N 80°! The icebreaker Oden has the last week been moored onto an ice floe, to enable easy access to the sea ice and for running long-term measurements.
We have now been at the same ice floe around N80º W1.5º since late on Monday 15 May. This is farther
south and west than we would have liked to be, but the ice has been very tough to brake through even with Oden, forcing us more west than north from the last report when we had just reached the ice.
When there is a will, there is a way, as the saying goes, was what researchers from Stockholm University who participate in the Arctic expedition ARTofMELT 2023 recently came to realize right at the start of the expedition on Monday May 8th.
Citizen science has received increased attention in recent years and is part of the Open Science paradigm. Citizen science methods facilitates research, while at the same time rendering research more transparent and inclusive. However, citizen science methods also raise new challenges in research integrity and ethics.
