      <i>Introduction</i>: Main purpose of this group is data exploration. For example, megafaunal community characterization, modeling of variables that influence these communities (environment, stressors, etc.). Scaling of data matters: Depending on the objectives, required resolution of the data and analyses will vary, e.g. for managing trawl closures, fine-scale analyses are required; for understanding ...
    • Epibenthic community structure in Northeast Greenland and the Kitikmeot Sea in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago 

      Fredriksen, Rosalyn (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2018-05-15)
      Climate warming in the Arctic results in increased human use of Arctic shelf regions through oil and gas development and increased shipping. Such pressures necessitate the closing of knowledge gaps in poorly studied areas, here two areas located at outflow shelves in the Arctic, to record the current status of epibenthic marine ecosystems. This study characterizes epibenthic community structure, ...
    • Epibenthic megafauna communities in Northeast Greenland vary across coastal, continental shelf and slope habitats

      The marine area of Northeast Greenland belongs to the largest national park in the world. Biodiversity assessments and tailored conservation measures often target specific physiographic or oceanographic features of an area for which detailed knowledge on their biological communities is incomplete. This study, therefore, characterizes epibenthic megafauna communities in a priori defined seabed habitats ...
