      The decrease in Arctic sea-ice extent and thickness as a result of global warming will impact the timing, duration, magnitude and composition of phytoplankton production with cascading effects on Arctic marine food-webs and biogeochemical cycles. Here, we elucidate the environmental drivers shaping the composition, abundance, biomass, trophic state and vertical flux of protists (unicellular eukaryotes), ...
    • Interactive effects of ocean acidification and temperature on oxygen uptake rates in Calanus hyperboreus nauplii 

      Espinel Velasco, Nadjejda; Gawinski, Christine; Kohlbach, Doreen; Pitusi, Vanessa; Graeve, Martin; Hop, Haakon (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-26)
      The Arctic region is undergoing rapid and significant changes, characterized by high rates of acidification and warming. These transformations prompt critical questions about the resilience of marine communities in the face of environmental change. In the Arctic, marine zooplankton and in particular calanoid copepods play a vital role in the food web. Changes in environmental conditions could ...
    • Interannual differences in sea ice regime in the north-western Barents Sea cause major changes in summer pelagic production and export mechanisms

      The Barents Sea is a highly dynamic and productive marine ecosystem and a hotspot of global warming. Variability in sea ice extent is a common feature in the Barents Sea with substantial movements of the sea ice edge on short-term, seasonal to interannual time scales. Historically the northern Barents Sea (north of 75◦N) has been ice-covered in winter, but recently it has become the area with most ...
    • Snowmelt contribution to Arctic first-year ice ridge mass balance and rapid consolidation during summer melt 

      Lange, Benjamin A.; Salganik, Evgenii; Macfarlane, Amy; Schneebeli, Martin; Høyland, Knut Vilhelm; Gardner, Jessie; Müller, Oliver; Divine, Dmitry; Kohlbach, Doreen; Katlein, Christian; Granskog, Mats (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-29)
      An assessment of potential groundwater areas in the Ifni basin, located in the western AntiAtlas range of Morocco, was conducted based on a multicriteria analytical approach that integrated a set of geomorphological and hydroclimatic factors influencing the availability of this resource. This approach involved the use of geographic information systems (GIS) and hierarchical analytical process ...
