GIPY11	Germany	Funded	The expedition ARK-XXII/2 was a central contribution to the International Polar Year. A large part of the programme was dedicated to GEOTRACES. enabling a systematic survey of trace metals in the Arctic. Details of this cruise can be found in the cruise reprot.
GIPY13	Sweden	Funded	The motivation for ISSS-08 was to alleviate the scarcity of observational data on transport and processing of water, sediment and carbon on the East Siberian Arctic Shelves (ESAS). The ESAS, composed of Laptev, East Siberian and Russian part of Chukchi Sea, is the world’s largest continental shelf and at the same time the most understudied part of the Arctic Ocean. GEOTRCES was only a minor project associated with this cruise, see cruise report for more details.
GIPY14	Canada	Funded	The Canadian IPY-GEOTRACES sampling program took place from August 27, 2009 through September 12, 2009. It was part of Leg 3a of the 2009 CCGS Amundsen Expedition in the Arctic Ocean. Sampling was carried out at 10 stations chosen to highlight the relative influence of the Mackenzie River and the Pacific Ocean/Chukchi shelf, and to contrast ice-free and ice covered areas, please see the cruise report for more detail.
