🧊 The @EU_Commission has proposed a new #Arctic strategy focused on strengthening #resilience, advancing #ClimateResearch, supporting #EconomicSecurity and creating opportunities for #ArcticCommunities. 🔎 Read more about the EU’s priorities 👇eurocean.org/np4/2169.html
The Arctic is changing fast. Europe’s new Arctic Strategy sets out 4 priorities: 🔹Climate action & research 🔹Security & resilience 🔹Sustainable economic growth 🔹People at the centre Together we create a secure & prosperous Arctic future. ➡️ link.europa.eu/3PhFg4
⚠️ How can we detect #earthquakes in the remote Central #Arctic? A new study led by our #ECOPs presents an automated detection method that identifies #UnderwaterEarthquake signals. 🔎 How this improves #seismic monitoring in the Arctic? Read it here 👇 seismica.library.mcgill.ca/a…

⛵🧊 And they're off! After travelling aboard KV Svalbard, the tiny wooden boats of #FloatYourBoat are now drifting with the #Arctic #sea #ice near the #NorthPole. Where will the ice take them? Follow their adventure with #HiAOOS! 👇 hiaoos.eu/2026/09/30/the-boa… @Nansensenteret

🌊🧊 #HiAOOS is proud to be part of the #international #ocean observing community. In the rapidly-changing #Arctic, #internationalcooperation is essential for long-term observations. #HiAOOS #OceanEye #OceanObservation #ArcticScience #DigitalTwinOcean #HorizonEurope
Our Ocean changes rapidly. And it impacts our planet, our economies, and our communities. Today, @MarkJCarney and I are rallying the world in support of ocean observation. Which gives us eyes and ears beneath the waves ↓ xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1qxvvepjZ…
