This is our ninth scientific cruise to the Arctic Ocean under the auspices of the NABOS program that brings together international research institutions and programs. This promises to be an exciting and informative time. Oceanographic observations have demonstrated that the 2000s were an exceptional decade, displaying extraordinary upper Arctic Ocean freshening and warming of the upper and intermediate water layers. The exceptional magnitude of recent high- latitude changes (in the ocean, but in ice and the atmosphere also) strongly suggests that these changes signify a potentially irreversible shift in the Arctic Ocean to a new climate state. These changes have important implications for the Arctic Ocean’s marine ecosystem—especially for those components that are dependent on sea ice or that have temperature- and stratification-dependent sensitivities or thresholds. Addressing these and other questions requires careful multidisciplinary observation. To these ends, this expedition will provide key information about the historical transitions occurring in the Arctic Ocean. We hope that your experience in this 2013 Arctic Expedition will be personally satisfying and will become an important milestone in your scientific careers. With best wishes for a successful, enjoyable, and productive participation in this 2013 Arctic Expedition, Sincerely, Larry Hinzman Ivan Frolov Igor Polyakov Director, IARC Director, AARI NABOS Project Leader 3 Location of cabins, labs etc. 2nd superstructure 1st superstructure Main deck 1st deck deck deck 1 – hydrology lab 2 –wet lab 3 – rosetta container 4 – hydrology hold hood 5 – CTD winch 6 – cable winch 7 – hydraulic crane 8 – П-frame 9 – cable winch 10 – winch control 11 – Lebus winch 12 - capstan 4 List of Participants Science party # Name Team Position Affiliation E-mail Country 1 Alkire, Matthew chem scientist UW [email protected] USA 2 Artamonov, Arseniy meteo scientist IAP RAS [email protected] RUS 3 Artamonova, Ksenia chem scientist VNIRO [email protected] RUS 4 Ashik, Igor admin Co-Chief sci AARI [email protected] RUS 5 Bloshkina, Ekaterina hydro scientist AARI [email protected] RUS 6 Chernokul’sky, Alexander admin Adm. assistant IAP RAS [email protected] RUS 7 Drozdova, Anastasia chem scientist IO RAS [email protected] RUS 8 Ermoshkin, Alexey meteo scientist IAP RAS [email protected] RUS 9 Gangnus, Ivan chem scientist VNIRO [email protected] RUS 10 Goszczko, Ilona hydro scientist IO PAS [email protected] POL 11 Gubin, Alexey meteo scientist AARI [email protected] RUS 12 Guthrie, John hydro scientist UW, USA [email protected] USA 13 Ivanov, Vladimir admin Chief Scientist IARC [email protected] RUS 14 Keen, Peter tech Moor. tech IARC [email protected] UK 15 Kemp, John tech Moor. tech WHOI [email protected] USA 16 Kirillov, Sergey hydro Team leader AARI [email protected] RUS 17 Komatsu, Kensuke meteo scientist Mie Un [email protected] JAP 18 Lambert, Steve tech Moor. tech WHOI [email protected] USA 19 Lee, Howon chem scientist PNU [email protected] KOR 20 Lee, Janghan chem scientist PNU [email protected] KOR 21 Masanov, Andrey ice Team leader AARI [email protected] RUS 22 Nikulina, Anna chem scientist AAR [email protected] RUS 24 Pnyushkov, Andrey hydro scientist IARC [email protected] USA 23 Polkin, Vasilii meteo scientist AARI [email protected] RUS 25 Ponyaev, Mikhail chem scientist IO RAS [email protected] RUS 26 Rauschenberg, Carlton tech Moor. tech Bigelow [email protected] USA 27 Rember, Robert chem Team leader IARC [email protected] USA 28 Repina, Irina meteo Team leader IAP RAS [email protected] RUS 29 Rivera, Patricia chem scientist SFOS [email protected] USA 30 Soloschuk, Polina ice scientist AARI [email protected] RUS 31 Stockwell, Dean chem scientist SFOS [email protected] USA 32 Treibergs, Lija chem scientist UConn [email protected] USA 33 Vinogradova, Elena chem scientist IO RAS [email protected] RUS 34 Waddington, Ian tech Team leader UK [email protected] UK 35 Yurganov, Leonid meteo scientist UMBC [email protected] USA Summer school 5 Instructors # Name Position Affiliation E-mail Country 1.

  • Changes of Ice Thickness in the Arctic Ocean from Shipboard Observations During 1977-2007 S
    Geophysical Research Abstracts, Vol. 10, EGU2008-A-03593, 2008 SRef-ID: 1607-7962/gra/EGU2008-A-03593 EGU General Assembly 2008 © Author(s) 2008 Changes of ice thickness in the Arctic Ocean from shipboard observations during 1977-2007 S. Frolov, V. Fedyakov, V. Tretyakov and G. Alekseev Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute, St. Petersburg, Russia Ice thickness is parameter of sea ice cover that is most difficult to measure abun- dantly. Now particular attention has been given to the progress of measurements using aircrafts, satellites or under ice vehicles. At the same time more capabilities arise to measure ice thickness from the board of icebreakers and icebreaker type ships dur- ing their frequent voyages in high latitudes of the Arctic Ocean. The voyages of the Soviet atomic icebreakers to the North Pole started in August 1977 when atomic i/b Arktika reached the North Pole. The next one was the voyage of the atomic i/b Sibir in spring of 1987. Since 1990 such voyages have been more regular. The decrease of the ice cover in the Arctic Ocean allowed to arrange the expeditions of the AARI ship Akademik Fedorov. Specialists from the AARI participating in the first voyages of ice- breakers suggested a simple method for visual estimation of ice thickness during i/b movement with the help of measure ruler that is put on the board of the ship. In such a manner they had estimated the thickness of ice fragments that were rotated sideways when i/b moving. This method had been used to estimate ice thickness during voyages of i/b Arktika and Sibir in 1977 and 1987 from ice edge through the North Pole and back.

  • Chronology of the Key Historical Events on the Eastern Seas of the Russian Arctic (The Laptev Sea, the East Siberian Sea, the Chukchi Sea)
    Chronology of the Key Historical Events on the Eastern Seas of the Russian Arctic (the Laptev Sea, the East Siberian Sea, the Chukchi Sea) Seventeenth century 1629 At the Yenisei Voivodes’ House “The Inventory of the Lena, the Great River” was compiled and it reads that “the Lena River flows into the sea with its mouth.” 1633 The armed forces of Yenisei Cossacks, headed by Postnik, Ivanov, Gubar, and M. Stadukhin, arrived at the lower reaches of the Lena River. The Tobolsk Cossack, Ivan Rebrov, was the first to reach the mouth of Lena, departing from Yakutsk. He discovered the Olenekskiy Zaliv. 1638 The first Russian march toward the Pacific Ocean from the upper reaches of the Aldan River with the departure from the Butalskiy stockade fort was headed by Ivan Yuriev Moskvitin, a Cossack from Tomsk. Ivan Rebrov discovered the Yana Bay. He Departed from the Yana River, reached the Indigirka River by sea, and built two stockade forts there. 1641 The Cossack foreman, Mikhail Stadukhin, was sent to the Kolyma River. 1642 The Krasnoyarsk Cossack, Ivan Erastov, went down the Indigirka River up to its mouth and by sea reached the mouth of the Alazeya River, being the first one at this river and the first one to deliver the information about the Chukchi. 1643 Cossacks F. Chukichev, T. Alekseev, I. Erastov, and others accomplished the sea crossing from the mouth of the Alazeya River to the Lena. M. Stadukhin and D. Yarila (Zyryan) arrived at the Kolyma River and founded the Nizhnekolymskiy stockade fort on its bank.

  • North Pole the Latest Tourist Trap
    Tel 352 692 5493 Fax 352 692 5494 Dennis L. Bryant Bryant’s Maritime Consulting 4845 SW 91st Way Gainesville, FL 32608-8135 October 2015 North Pole The latest tourist trap Dennis L. Bryant On 16 August 2015, the geographic North Pole was visited by a Russian surface ship for the one-hundredth time. The Russian nuclear icebreaker 50 Let Pobedy (50 Years of Victory) carried 106 tourists from 16 different countries. This was the icebreaker’s seventh cruise to the Pole just this season. Each voyage takes just less than two weeks round trip, and that includes a full day of partying at the top of the world. This is all available for a starting cost of $26,995 per person for a basic two-person cabin with a standard twin bed, but does not include the $1,750 round trip air fare between Helsinki and Murmansk or the cost of getting from wherever you are to and from Helsinki. Along the way, passengers may see polar bears, seals, walrus, and whales. But one should not expect to see animals at the North Pole, other than occasional fish and sea birds. Upon arrival at (or near, depending upon ice conditions) the North Pole, passengers may climb down onto the ice, drink champagne toasts, enjoy a barbeque, and form a circle around the Pole (or a facsimile thereof). For added fees, passengers may take helicopter rides or, weather permitting, ride in a hot-air balloon. One should not expect to see the iconic red and white diagonally striped pole – Santa Claus took it with him when he vacated the area some years ago as the locale started to attract attention.

    Changes in the Arctic: Background and Issues for Congress Updated September 23, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R41153 Changes in the Arctic: Background and Issues for Congress Summary The diminishment of Arctic sea ice has led to increased human activities in the Arctic, and has heightened interest in, and concerns about, the region’s future. The United States, by virtue of Alaska, is an Arctic country and has substantial interests in the region. The seven other Arctic states are Canada, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark (by virtue of Greenland), and Russia. The Arctic Research and Policy Act (ARPA) of 1984 (Title I of P.L. 98-373 of July 31, 1984) “provide[s] for a comprehensive national policy dealing with national research needs and objectives in the Arctic.” The National Science Foundation (NSF) is the lead federal agency for implementing Arctic research policy. The Arctic Council, created in 1996, is the leading international forum for addressing issues relating to the Arctic. The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) sets forth a comprehensive regime of law and order in the world’s oceans, including the Arctic Ocean. The United States is not a party to UNCLOS. Record low extents of Arctic sea ice over the past decade have focused scientific and policy attention on links to global climate change and projected ice-free seasons in the Arctic within decades. These changes have potential consequences for weather in the United States, access to mineral and biological resources in the Arctic, the economies and cultures of peoples in the region, and national security.
