🚨 SHIP-TIME OPPORTUNITY with RV Skagerak! More information: https://lnkd.in/guZVUzVg
Unique opportunity for #marine_research in #Svalbard on board R/V Skagerak this summer! R/V Skagerak will be heading to Svalbard in mid-August for a GU project - departing from Gothenburg in late July/early August. We now have some vacancies for scientists on board. Expressions of interest for two ship time opportunities: Piggy-back on the Transit: No cost for ship-time or fuel; costs for personal food and berth only, however research undertaken must be on a non-interfering basis (i.e. no changes to the transit route or significant impact on time). For research that requires some changes to the route or schedule, a fee can be agreed. Ship day bookings: Either during transit to Svalbard or in waters near Svalbard, researchers can book days on Skagerak to undertake research in any waters south of (and including) Svalbard. The conditions are simple, ship transit to Svalbard is free, one mob day in Longyearbyen is free and days at sea are 45k SEK each (internal GU rate), however this rate can be shared between users. Fuel is additional. If you are interested in this unique opportunity to use Skagerak in Arctic waters without having to pay the transit costs, don’t hesitate to contact Louise Newman (PhD, GAICD) (louise.newman@gu.se) or Niklas Andersson (Niklas.andersson.2@gu.se) as soon as possible or by 6th May. Please note - Even if you are unable to afford the full day rate but are able to contribute something please contact us, as there are others who are also in this situation and costs can be shared. Hope to #SEA you on board!

🙌 EU - PolarNet 2, in collaboration with the European Polar Board and the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, has launched a white paper featuring 80 actionable policy-level recommendations aimed at enhancing international collaboration in polar observations! The white paper identifies over a hundred polar initiatives and offers recommendations to defragment the polar observing landscape, minimise duplication, bridge gaps in the current polar observing strategy and enhance large-scale coordination. Many thanks to Gaël Lymer, Renuka B., Pjotr Elshout, Jan René Larsen, Hannele Savela, Serge Scory & Vanessa Spadetto for collaboration! 👉 More information: https://lnkd.in/e3eEWDHA
