SAS Webinar #3 2024: Sea-ice and its impact on the Arctic Ocean will be take place on Monday 17th June, 12:00 – 13:30 UTC on Zoom. If you would like to join the webinar, please register here to receive the meeting link.
The Synoptic Arctic Survey (SAS) is a researcher-driven initiative that aims to enhance ongoing ocean monitoring with ship-based measurements, to establish the present states of the Arctic Ocean ecosystem, carbon cycle and associated hydrography. SAS has coordinated a multi-ship survey using an international fleet of icebreakers and research vessels, where more than 25 cruises from 11 different nations collected a set of parameters across the Arctic Ocean in 2020-2022. This comprehensive dataset will allow for unprecedented assessments and provide a unique baseline to track future climate change and its impacts.

This webinar showcases how the characteristic sea-ice in the Arctic Ocean is varying, and how changes in sea-ice cover affect both the global carbon cycle and Arctic marine ecosystems. It will be moderated by Are Olsen, the co-chair of the SAS scientific steering committee, who will also give a brief introduction to the SAS initiative.
There will be three solicited talks with room for questions and discussions:
