Ziel der Reise / Objectives of Cruise:

The cruise served the education of students in a combined Swedish/German course with the Institute of Environmental studies of Stockholm University. Whereas one part of the cruise was devoted to the study of the biogeochemistry in the different basin systems of the southern and central Baltic, the second part studied the anthropogenic effects on biology and chemistry in coastal Baltic fjord system of eastern Sweden. Base for shorter cruises of mixed Swedish/German student groups either to the deepest point of the Baltic, the Landsort Basin, or to the coastal fjords was the research station on the island of Asko. With a variety of instruments data on water column and sediment biology, chemistry and geochmistry were recorded and samples were taken, which were analyzed by the students on board or at the laboratory on Asko. The cruise lasted for 12 days and resulted in an extensive report assembled by the students. Both students and instructors consider the course and the cruise as a successful event.
