Activities 2008

Very good overview of stratigraphy and geology related to the Barents Sea Feedback from participants was very good Weather was good except for last couple of days No incidents or accidents No Polar Bear Field trip may be repeated next year if enough interest FORCE Sed Strat Field trip: Svalbard Sedimentology of the Barents Sea shown from Spitsbergen 4-11 September 2006
