The project is divided into four Work Packages, with UiB – University of Bergen; CeBiTec – University of Bielefeld, UiT – The Arctic University of Norway and JYU – University of Jyväskylä as Partners.
Sampling will be conducted on research cruises organized by the Center for Deep Sea Research (C-DeepSea) at UiB to AMOR in 2021, 2022 and 2023, in addition to a large sample repository at UiB from previous sampling campaigns to AMOR.
