UK-Russia joint session on marine expeditions in the Arctic: Understanding Marine Biology and Biogeochemistry of the Changing Arctic Ocean: CAO and Russian Arctic marine research programmes
This on-line session will discuss on-going projects in the Arctic such as UK/Germany ChangingArcticOceanProgramme(CAO) and comparable Russian marine research programmes to provide a platform for improving UK-Russia bilateral science cooperation. We hope the session will allow participants to share their goals, scientific questions and priorities and help map common interests for Arctic science cooperation. The session will bring together researchers from the CAO programme, and representatives of Russia’s leading research institutions involved in Arctic marine research and marine research programmes. We strongly welcome contributions from early career researchers from both Russia and the UK.
