A provisional schedule of Eurofleets+ funded cruises is now available for 2021 and 2022. Following two Transnational Access calls there are a total of 20 cruises confirmed and provisionally scheduled over the next 2 years. One survey has already taken place in 2020 utilising the University of Gothenburg’s Hugin AUV on a cruise in the Kaikoura Canyon in New Zealand. 13 cruises are scheduled for 2021 and 7 for 2022.
Geographically, the cruises are dispersed throughout the Eurofleets+ regions with 8 taking part in the North Atlantic, 6 in the Mediterranean Sea, 2 in the Black Sea, 1 cruise in the Baltic Sea, 2 in the Pacific Southern Ocean and 1 in the Ross Sea in the Antarctic. 22 pieces of EF+ marine infrastructure are being made available to marine scientists throughout these regions (18 RVs, 2 ROVs and 2 AUVs). The scientific disciplines include marine biology, physical & biological oceanography, geology, climate dynamics to name just a few.
There are Co-PI and RTA opportunities available on all cruises – more information on the Co-PI and RTA access programmes are available on our website. https://www.eurofleets.eu/access/
