      Biogeochemical cycling in the semi-enclosed Arctic Ocean is strongly influenced by land–ocean transport of carbon and other elements and is vulnerable to environmental and climate changes. Sediments of the Arctic Ocean are an important part of biogeochemical cycling in the Arctic and provide the opportunity to study present and historical input and the fate of organic matter (e.g., through permafrost ...
    • Chemosynthetic and photosynthetic trophic support from cold seeps in Arctic benthic communities 

      Åström, Emmelie; Bluhm, Bodil; Rasmussen, Tine Lander (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-17)
      Benthic communities below the photic zone are largely reliant on the export of surface-water primary production and the flux of partially degraded organic matter to the seabed, i.e. pelagic−benthic coupling. Over the past decades, however, the role of chemosynthetically produced carbon in food webs has been recognized in various habitats. Cold seeps are now known to be widespread across circumpolar ...
    • Cold Seeps in a Warming Arctic: Insights for Benthic Ecology 

      Åström, Emmelie; Sen, Arunima; Carroll, Michael Leslie; Carroll, JoLynn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-21)
      Cold-seep benthic communities in the Arctic exist at the nexus of two extreme environments; one reflecting the harsh physical extremes of the Arctic environment and another reflecting the chemical extremes and strong environmental gradients associated with seafloor seepage of methane and toxic sulfide-enriched sediments. Recent ecological investigations of cold seeps at numerous locations on the ...
    • New Late Pleistocene species of Acharax from Arctic methane seeps off Svalbard 

      Hansen, Jesper; Ezat, Mohamed; Åström, Emmelie; Rasmussen, Tine Lander (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-01)
      We report, for the first time, the solemyid <i>Acharax svalbardensis</i> sp. nov., from deep-sea methane seep sites on the western Svalbard margin, 79°N. This species is rather small and so far the northernmost representative of its genus. It is identified based on the following combination of diagnostic characters: umbo 27–30% valve length from posterior margin; H/L ratio ∼0.35; broadly rounded to ...
