Description:

Some 150 researchers took part in the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition, which ran from December 2016 to March 2017 on board the Russian ship Akademik Treshnikov. The itinerary included stops on a dozen subantarctic islands, most of which are inhabited solely by wildlife such as penguins, elephant seals, sea lions and birds. The expedition played host to 22 research projects. The researchers took 30,000 land, sea and air samples, which are now being analyzed. 50th dataset resulting from ACE available in open access by ACE expedition on March 3 2020 at 8:52 am The 50th dataset resulting from the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE) has just been published. Download openly and freely accessible data on dissolved trace metal concentrations from the Southern Ocean.

This session provides a great platform to present some of the major outcomes of the ACE expedition to the community and a broader audience.

Opening up the data from the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition through a platform created by the Swiss Data...ACE was the first project of the Swiss Polar Institute, a newly created entity founded by EPFL, the Swiss Institute of Forest, Snow and Landscape research WSL, ETHZ, the University of Bern and Editions Paulsen. It was designed to enhance international relations and collaboration between countries, as well as to spark the interest of a new generation of young scientists and explorers in polar research.From December 2016 to March 2017, scientific teams from all over the world have boarded the Russian research vessel Akademik Treshnikov for an unprecedented expedition around Antarctica. From biology to climatology to oceanography, researchers have been working on a number of interrelated fields for the future of  this Continent.On the Akademik Treshnikov’s way down from Bremerhaven to Cape Town, 50 young scientists were on board to follow lectures and to do practical and oceanographic work. The “ACE Maritime University” was conducted under the auspices of the Russian Geographic Society and started on 19 November 2016 from Bremerhaven.A better understanding of Antarctica is critical, not just for its preservation, but for the whole planet. The poles are affected by climate change more than any other region on Earth. Moreover, they play a central role in providing oceans with strong underwater streams that regulate the world’s climate from the poles to the equator.Today, scientific progress depends more than ever on collaboration between diverse scientific domains. Polar studies are no exception. For example, marine biology depends on complex mathematical models currently being developed by oceanographers. Meanwhile, microorganisms that play an important role in transforming the atmosphere, can help climatologists to make more accurate predictions.In order to foster an interdisciplinary culture, ACE has combined competences and know-how from a broad range of scientific disciplines. We do believe that this is the only way to understand Antarctica and its global role in today and tomorrow’s climate issues.
