Description
Summary:The TRANSDRIFT IV expedition was part of the joint Russian-German cooperation and the Laptev Sea System project. The Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI) in St. Petersburg and the GEOMAR Research Center for Marine Geosciences were jointly responsible for the organization and coordination of the TRANSDRIFT IV expedition, which was funded by the Russian Ministry for Research and Technology and the German Ministry for Research and Technology.The TRANSDRIFT IV expedition was carried out from the fast ice, pack ice and in the Lena Delta near the "Lena Nordenskøld" station in the Laptev Sea from May 18 to June 12, 1996. A multi-disciplinary working program investigated the causes and effects below the annual fast ice, the pack ice and in the polynya during late winter and river break-up. Unlike our previous expeditions to the Laptev Sea, which focused on oceanographical, hydrochemical, ecological and sedimentological processes during the brief ice-fee period in summer and during freeze-up in fall (1995), ...
