• Provide a baseline of the present state of biodiversity and ecosystem functions in the EWS against which change can be measured
• Study key variables of carbon, nutrient, and trace-element fluxes and cycling within and between the main ecosystem compartments sea ice, water column, and sea floor, as well as key species responsible for the carbon and nutrient transfer
• Ground-truth autonomous sampling devices for key biological variable
