Consolidating and Advancing Knowledge of the Chemical Oceanography of the Arctic Ocean

Abstract

The long term goal of this project is: To advance knowledge of the chemical oceanography and biogeochemical cycling of the Arctic Ocean with particular emphasis on changes that may be related to natural or man-related climate change and to man's impingement (i.e., pollution and changes in the hydrologic cycle). This particular project has 3 major objectives: 1) Facilitating the consolidation and dissemination of the scientific results of the Arctic Nuclear Waste Assessment Program (ANWAP). 2) Helping to ensure that chemical oceanographic data from the Arctic Ocean that were collected by the Former Soviet Union (FSU) do not disappear with the collapse of scientific infrastructure in the FSU. 3) Testing new instrumentation for autonomously collecting chemical oceanographic data from the Arctic Ocean and its adjacent seas.
