      The rapid decline of Arctic sea ice makes understanding sympagic (ice-associated) biology a particularly urgent task. Here we studied the poorly known seasonality of sea-ice protist and meiofauna community composition, abundance and biomass in the bottom 30 cm of sea ice in relation to ice properties and ice drift trajectories in the northwestern Barents Sea. We expected low abundances during the ...
    • Seasonal patterns of vertical flux in the northwestern Barents Sea under Atlantic Water influence and sea-ice decline

      The northern Barents Sea is a productive Arctic inflow shelf with a seasonal ice cover and as such, a location with an efficient downward export of particulate organic matter through the biological carbon pump. The region is under strong influence of Atlantification and sea-ice decline, resulting in a longer open water and summer period. In order to understand how these processes influence the ...
    • Sympagic-pelagic coupling and vertical export in two seasonally ice-covered fjords. Study of the physical and biological drivers in the sub-Arctic Ramfjorden (Norwegian mainland) and the Arctic Van Mijenfjorden (Svalbard archipelago) during early spring bloom. 

      Goraguer, Lucie Hélène Marie (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-06-01)
      Fjords are important high latitudes ecosystems, many have beside planctonic ones, a unique ecosystem associated with seasonal ice cover. During the development of the spring season conditions, two major type of primary producers contribute highly to the biomass production: sea-ice algae inhabiting brine channels and bottom surface of the ice (sympagic algae) and phytoplankton, living in the water ...
