Akma 3 - Documentary

We are happy to share with you the short documentary realized during the AKMA 3 cruise. This video-story tells the most important and exciting moments of this fantastic expedition. Special thanks to @oioioi.no and @kjetilandersen that realized the video, to all our partner, scientists and students who made this experience truly unique. Video: @oioioi.no Voice over: @giulianapanieri (Cruise Leder and Project Manager) ABOUT / The AKMA 3 cruise (April 29-May 10, 2023) on board RV Kronprins Haakon was organized within the project AKMA Advancing Knowledge on Methane in the Arctic (n.287869). The AKMA project was funded by the Research Council of Norway and led by the UiT - The Arctic University of Norway in Tromsø in collaboration with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in the USA. Specifically, this third expedition focused on the interplay between changing ocean conditions and the physical, biological, and chemical response of extreme environments such as methane and oil seeps through a multidisciplinary study of sites in the Barents Sea. The @rev_ocean and the @oceancensus team have also been joining the cruise to investigate methane activity in the seabed. The Ocean Census programme funded by The Nippon Foundation and managed by @nekton, will accelerate the discovery of marine species globally. The high-level science on this cruise also included sea-going training for students to develop their knowledge in collecting, curating, and processing samples and data, providing opportunities to fully engage in Arctic marine science.
