CASSANDRA

CASSANDRA project seeks to quantify the present state of the physical, chemical, biological and biogeochemical systems of a sub-Arctic historic transect at 75°N crossing the Greenland Sea Gyre. As part of the Synoptic Arctic Survey 2020/21 (SAS), CASSANDRA will operate with a multidisciplinary approach, making use of common protocols. Emphasis of the project will be also devoted to understanding the major ongoing transformations on the water masses, the marine ecosystem and the carbon cycle.
