Ice, cold waters, and research at the frontline of climate change.

In this episode of Expedition Skagerak, PhD student Wilma Ljungberg takes us on board the University of Gothenburg’s high-tech research vessel R/V Skagerak as she prepares for a month-long expedition to Svalbard.

From instrument testing and long shifts at sea to teamwork, seasickness, and scientific detective work in Arctic fjords shaped by rapidly melting glaciers — this is the reality of polar research at sea.

As researchers prepare to trace meltwater, carbon, and chemical signals through the Arctic Ocean, one central question remains: how do you prepare for the unexpected?
