SWERVE-supported Early Career Researchers (ECRs) for a voyage on Oden

Late this summer, 7 ECR's will join the Canada-Sweden Arctic Ocean Expedition 2025 with the support of SWERVE! From August 9 - September 19, 2025, the icebreaker Oden will carry out an expedition with the Canadian icebreaker CCGS Louis S. St-Laurent to map the seabed in the Arctic Ocean. In symbiosis with this, an extensive Early Career Scientist program also takes place on board, consisting of the course The Arctic Ocean Climate System.

The Early Career Scientist program combines practical work with observations and measurements in seven work packages (WPs) that are linked to the participants' own research projects.

WPs will be organized to carry out research work, observations and sampling, as on a regular research expedition on the Oden. The students will participate in the practical work of their WP, under the instruction of their WP leaders. The difference to an ordinary research expedition is that work and navigation will be governed by limits set by the Canadian research team.

The Swedish Polar Research Secretariat is carrying out the expedition together with The Geological Survey of Canada, Land and Mineral Sector.
