ERC Synergy Grant (2024-2030) resolving past Arctic greenhouse climates
i2B - Into The Blue
After 35 unforgettable days at sea, the i2B expedition has come to an end. The team retrieved nearly 250 meters of sediment cores from key sites across the #Arctic Ocean — records that will help unravel the story of past warm climates. 🔗 Read chief scientist Jochen Knies’ reflection: arcg.is/0favaf0
We dropped in on Santa Claus at the north pole this week to get our wish lists in early!
To celebrate reaching 90N - the first time unaided for the Kronprins Haakon - we had ourselves a BBQ followed by a football match on the ice.
Keep track of our @i2b-erc.bsky.social expedition updates below as we continue our journey towards northeast Greenland.
As mentioned in this interview with our cruise leader, Jochen Knies, the ease with which we reached the pole was unthinkable 30 years ago when he last visited.
"Reading about it is one thing - witnessing it firsthand is something entirely different" @i2b-erc.bsky.social
🚨 A small break from cruise updates to say that: We’re hiring! i2B is looking for a Postdoc in Arctic Marine Geology and Marine Geophysics. Find out more about the position here: www.jobbnorge.no/en/available...

🎨 The importance of colours ❄️🌊
From radar streaks in the ice to subtle shades in sediment cores, colours guide our work in the Arctic. The team even tested their soil colour charts on lab tools — try it yourself in @rhewlif.xyz Instagram quiz: www.instagram.com/rhewlif/ 🚢✨
