Dynamics of Pacific Antarctic Circumpolar Current (DYNAPACC)

Dynamics of Pacific Antarctic Circumpolar Current (DYNAPACC)

Scientist on this expedition will investigate the Pliocene-Pleistocene atmosphere-ocean-cryosphere dynamics of the Pacific Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), and their role in regional and global climate and atmospheric CO2 based on sediment records with the highest possible stratigraphic resolution.

Iceberg Alley and Subantarctic Ice and Ocean Dynamics

Iceberg Alley and Subantarctic Ice and Ocean Dynamics

This expedition will explore changes in the Antarctic Ice Sheet over long time periods by studying sediment deposited by icebergs and changes in sea ice, ocean currents, and winds.

Amundsen Sea West Antarctic Ice Sheet History

Amundsen Sea West Antarctic Ice Sheet History

A team of 116 ship crew, scientists, technicians, and communicators takes to the Amundsen Sea, Antarctica’s fastest-warming sea, aboard the JOIDES Resolution. Over the course of their two-month mission, they plan to drill at least five sites beneath the seabed and bring home sediment samples that are millions of years old, in order to recreate the history of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS).
