The meeting was held in the de Geer hall at the Geocenter, and gathered some 50 participants, most in person with a few joining over Zoom. We also welcomed a varying number of interested partners and guests to get a first peak at each others' research results. In addition to sharing results, we also discussed where to take this research into the future, including possible modeling projects, thematic and overview papers, special issue publications, a joint database at the Bolin Centre and potentials for outreach and societally relevant products from the expedition.
