Arctic research infrastructure
Margareta Johansson, researcher at the department and coordinator of the Arctic research infrastructure INTERACT, gave an invited talk at the European Polar Science Week in late October. Polar Science week is an event co-hosted by the European Space Agency and the European Commission. Margareta explained that there is still much research needed to get the whole picture of the Arctic and the climate change that is affecting the area to a large extent. INTERACT is an infrastructure with a large network, enabling researchers to cooperate and get access to research stations in the Arctic. There are even possibilities for remote access, where personnell at research stations may perform sampling for a researcher.
