On October 10, China's 8th Arctic Expedition Team completed the 83-day comprehensive Arctic survey and came back to Shanghai. Eight researchers from SIO made a triumphant return. Zheng Yulong, deputy director of SIO, greeted the expedition team at the harbor.
The Arctic expedition started on July 20, with a total voyage of more than 20,000 nautical miles. The team conducted multidisciplinary investigations successively in the Bering Sea, Chukchi Sea, Canada Basin, and the Nordic Sea. It crossed the central channel and the northwest channel for the first time, which marked the first investigation by China in Labrador Sea and Baffin Bay. As the first voyage for the operationalization of Arctic expeditions by the State Oceanic Administration, it has laid a solid foundation for the normalization of the Arctic expeditions by China.
SIO dispatched a total of eight members this time, namely, Gao Jinyao, Zhang Tao and Yang Chunguo from Key Laboratory of Submarine Geosciences, Bai Youcheng, Li Yangjie, Le Fengfeng and Zhao Xiangai from Laboratory of Marine Ecosystem and Biogeochemistry, and Zhang Xiangming from State Key Laboratory of Satellite Ocean Environment Dynamics. The research areas and disciplines include geophysics, oceanophysics, marine chemistry and marine biology.
During the Arctic expedition, the team members worked diligently with each other and successfully completed the voyage with many breakthroughs. The expedition team crossed the Arctic central channel for the first time and carried out scientific investigations in the open area of Arctic Ocean, which marked the first operation by China in Atlantic section and the central area of the Arctic Ocean. The eco-environment research team carried out operations at 6 short-term ice stations and 54 integrated ocean stations, obtained more than 3,000 samples of various types and successfully collected and re-deployed a set of submerged buoys for biogeochemical observation at the Chukchi plateau, in order to acquire more accurate and reliable data for biological pump, marine deoxidation and acidification in this area. For the first time, the geophysical team conducted multi-beam geophysical investigations in the Chukchi Sea, successfully obtained the first data about multi-beam topography in the Arctic, and drew the seabed map of the area, which is of great significance to understanding the historical evolution of the sea area.
