Diary

23th August 2022, arrival to Longyearbyen, accommodation at UNIS guesthouse, partly on OCEANIA

24th August, boarding to OCEANIA
08.00
Steaming to the NW corner of Isfjorden, on the way biooptical measurements. Anker on 35m depth at 14.00 in Ekmanfjorden. Deployment of lander with time laps cameras and fresh cod as bait. Land groups dedicated for fresh water ponds, tidal zone sampling, count of plastic and driftwood on the shore. Boat with CTD and drop camera to check the seabed coverage at 5, 15 and 30 m izobath. Work was completed before midnight, and samples have been marked and secured onboard.

25th August 2022
09.00
Retrieval of lander with baited traps, numerous amphipods in the net (Lysianassidae – Anonyx and Onisimus). Steaming to Borebukta, with biooptical measurements on the way. Anker at Borebukta at 14.30 at 50 m depth, deployment of lander with cameras. Coastal groups depart for the field work. Large amount of driftwood and plastic debris found on the shore. Freshwater ponds with surprisingly high pH (above 8). Coastal work completed after midnight.

26th August 2022
Retreival of lander at 09.00 with surprising photos of three spider crabs (Hyas araneus) each with sea lilly (Heliometra glacialis) mounted on the carapace. Steaming to Eidembukta with biooptical work on the way. Numerous dolphins (white beaked dolphins, doglings) and minky whales. Anker at 13.00 in Eidembukta at 27 m depth. Deployment of land groups and arrangements with Lithuanian team working in the lagoon for their transport. Work completed and all equipment onboard before 23.00, extra precautions taken, as polar bear wasspotted near the Eidembukta lagoon – still in safe distance over 2 km.

Field work diary – ADAMANT & ACCESS projects
Isfjorden 22nd July – 31st July 2019

22.07.2019
20:25
Arrival with Norwegian to Longyearbeyen, transport to OCEANIA at ByKaia,
21:30 – 23:30
Steaming to Gipsvika, onboard Lithuanian marine research team (Sergei Olenin, Vaciute), media Jakub Witek, environmentalist and veterinarian Andrzej Kruszewicz, plus IO PAN marine team (Jan Marcin Węsławski, Maria Włodarska-Kowalczuk, Joanna Legeżyńska, Lech Kotwicki, Kajetan Deja, Katarzyna Dragańska-Deja, Iwona Psuty – ichtyologist and Joachim Psuty - blogger)

23.07.2019
Since midnight work on benthic stations – repetition of 1992 sampling in the same area, Van Venn grabs for macrofauna, sediment box core for chemistry and meiofauna, CTD and turbidity profile, seabed photography and filming with Drop Camera. Measurments of the the light on the sea surface, suspensions concentration in surface water. Between stations (12 completed, plus sediment cores for chemists) two land trips for the measurements of the suspensions and salinity in the vicinity of Gipselva – small tundra river. Collection of plastic liter on the shore – on both sides of the Bay – Skitvakten on SE and Gipshukodden on NW.

24.07.2019
Steaming from Gipsvika to Yoldiabukta. Repetition of the old sampling stations from 1992, eight stations completed (same data as for Gipsvika) plus sediment cores. Peculiar view of the anoxic sediment in outer stations, with thin black layer of H2S on the surface of sediment – usually not observed in the Arctic fjords, probably effect of mass dacay of recently deposited organic debris. Coastal inspection at Stavneset, plastic litter documentation.

25.07.2019
OCEANIA on the anchor in Nordfjorden near Samebreen, crew and equipment echange with yacht „Magnus Zaremba” participating in the same sampling campaign. The boat team is delivered from the ship to landing place at Sveasletta. OCEANIA returns to Longyearbyen for the AREX sampling ans boat team starts its activity.

26.07.2019
Camp nr 1, coastal inspection for plastic, on the high coastal terraces subfossil Mytilus shells from the last climate optimum, in the coastal sands plastic bits (nurdle) and usual plastic debris. Later this day at low water, inspection of Ekmanfjord, Blonasletta and Flintholmen Island. Sampling the rich intertidal, plastic collection. Alive Mytilus in algal debris.

27.07.2019
Wrapping up the camp nr 1 and trravel to Muslingodden, Bohemanflya and Bohemannesset for intertidal sampling. Setting the Camp nr 2 at Erdmanodden in Ymerbukta. Harbour seals near the camp.

28.07.2019
Sampling the intertidal at Tryghamna, Alkepynten, and inner part of Ymerbukta, polar bear behind the Alkehornet (NW), single walrus.

29.07.2019
Sampling at Tundraodden and Ratangen. Mytilus in the intertidal at Ratangen, group of three plus two walruses on the shore of Tundraodden.

30.07.2019
Wrapping up the camp, travel to Longyerbyan along the southern shore of Isfjorden, with light SW wind. From Campsite to Longyear trip took 3 hours. Altogether the boats covered over 280km in Isfjorden. Packing the samples and equipemnt fot he delivery to OCEANIA. Night at UNIS guesthouse.

31.07.2019
Meeting with Magnus Zaremba team, unpacking their equipment at Pole Position store place. Travel to Longyearbyen airport. The end.
