June-August, 2010 - R/V "Oceania" has been to the next Arctic cruise within IO PAS Arctic Experiment 2010. During this cruise hydrological profiles and currents (LADCP, ADCP) measurements on the Norwegian and Greenland Sea were performed. Four Euro-Argo floats were launched. Furthermore towed CTD profiles at the West Spitsbergen shelf and fjords: Hornsund, Kongsfjord and others were done. All these operations were connected with Euro-Argo, Alkekonge and AWAKE projects.

Autumn 2009-Spring 2010 - Four Baltic cruises on R/V "Oceania" were done. Measurements along standard hydrological sections were performed.

2009

September, 2009 - Piotr and Krzysztof returned from the cruise onboard K/V Svalbard in the Fram Strait, where recovery of our mooring system (performed in the DAMOCLES Project) took place. Mooring was redeployed.

June-August, 2009 - R/V "Oceania" has been to the next Arctic cruise within IO PAS Arctic Experiment 2009. During this cruise hydrological profiles, nutrients concentration and currents (LADCP, ADCP) measurements on the Norwegian and Greenland Sea were performed. Four Euro-Argo floats were launched. Furthermore towed CTD profiles at the West Spitsbergen shelf and fjords: Hornsund, Kongsfjord and others were done. Mooring system close to the Hornsund mouth was deployed as well. All these operations were connected with Damocles, Euro-Argo and Alkekonge Projects.

Autumn 2008-Spring 2009 - Several Baltic cruises on R/V "Oceania" were done. Measurements along standard hydrological sections were performed.

2007

October 10-November 18, 2007 - Ilona participated in AGF-311 "Air-Ice-Sea Interaction II" course which was organized in University Center in Svalbard, Longyearbyen. Within this course, cruise of the R/V "Lance" to Storfjorden took place, when hydrological conditions were studied before winter cooling, as well as ice and dense water production.

July 23, 2007 - R/V "Oceania" just finished oceanic and shelf edge part of this year Arctic cruise. Now it's moving to Spitsbergen fjords: Hornsund, Kongsfjorden and others. The weather was very harsh this summer, there were a lot of strong winds, violent storms and big waves. Working on the ship deck was very tough, but finally the crew succeeded.

July 5, 2007 - Longyearbyen, Svalbard, European Science and Research Commissioner Janez Potocnik and Norwegian research minister visited R/V Oceania which participate in EU Damocles Project.
