Arjen Stroeven and Ian Brown of Stockholm University are each leading a research team in the expedition DML 2021/22 to Antarctica. During the austral summer in December to February the expedition will be collecting data to help climate researchers monitor and assess changes in the ice sheet. The Antarctic ice sheet is the largest store of frozen freshwater on the planet, and if it melts, it will have incalculable global consequences.
