• Effect of glacial drainage water on the CO2 system and ocean acidification state in an Arctic tidewater-glacier fjord during two contrasting years 

      Fransson, Agneta Ingrid; Chierici, Melissa; Nomura, Daiki; Granskog, Mats A.; Kristiansen, Svein; Martma, Tõnu; Nehrke, Gernot (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-03)
      In order to investigate the effect of glacial water on the CO<sub>2</sub> system in the fjord, we studied the variability of the total alkalinity (A<sub>T</sub>), total dissolved inorganic carbon (C<sub>T</sub>), dissolved inorganic nutrients, oxygen isotopic ratio (δ<sup>18</sup>O), and freshwater fractions from the glacier front to the outer Tempelfjorden on Spitsbergen in winter 2012 (January, ...
    • Marine CO2 system variability in a high arctic tidewater-glacier fjord system, Tempelfjorden, Svalbard

      The marine CO<sub>2</sub> system in Tempelfjorden (Svalbard) was investigated between August 2015 and December 2017 using total alkalinity, pH, temperature, salinity, oxygen isotopic ratio, and nutrient data. Primary production resulted in the largest changes that were observed in the partial pressure of CO<sub>2</sub> (<i>p</i>CO<sub>2</sub>, 140 μatm) and the saturation state of aragonite ...
    • Pelagic Ecosystem Characteristics Across the Atlantic Water Boundary Current from Rijpfjorden, Svalbard, to the Arctic Ocean during Summer (2010-2014) 

      Hop, Haakon; Assmy, Philipp; Wold, Anette; Sundfjord, Arild; Daase, Malin; Duarte, Pedro; Kwasniewski, Slawomir; Gluchowska, Marta; Wiktor, Józef Maria; Tatarek, Agnieszka; Wiktor, Józef Maria Jr.; Kristiansen, Svein; Fransson, Agneta Ingrid; Chierici, Melissa; Vihtakari, Mikko (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-09)
      The northern coast of Svalbard contains high-arctic fjords, such as Rijpfjorden (80°N 22°30′E). This area has experienced higher sea and air temperatures and less sea ice in recent years, and models predict increasing temperatures in this region. Part of the West Spitsbergen Current (WSC), which transports relatively warm Atlantic water along the continental slope west of Svalbard, bypasses these ...
    • Seasonal dynamics of the marine CO2 system in Adventfjorden, a West Spitsbergen fjord 

      Ericson, Ylva; Chierici, Melissa; Falck, Eva; Fransson, Agneta Ingrid; Jones, Elizabeth Marie; Kristiansen, Svein (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-06-11)
      Time series of the marine CO<sub>2</sub> system and related parameters at the IsA Station, by Adventfjorden, Svalbard, were investigated between March 2015 and November 2017. The physical and biogeochemical processes that govern changes in total alkalinity (TA), total dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and the saturation state of the calcium carbonate mineral aragonite (Ω<sub>Ar</sub>) were assessed ...
