Description
Summary:This report refers on fieldwork activity done in August-September 2022 in the framework of the project MICROTRACER (PRA_0005). Sediment samples were collected from 10 sites, located across Krossfjorden and Kongsfjorden, on board of MS Teisten with a grab or manually from the coast. Amphipods were sampled in front of Ny-Alesund harbour and in the coast of the Loven Islands using a hand net. Sediment and Amphipod samples were pre-processed at the Dirigibile Italia laboratories for further chemical and bacteriological analyses to be performed in Italy.
