• Fatty acids and stable isotope signatures of first-year and multiyear sea ice in the Canadian High Arctic 

      Kohlback, Doreen; Duerksen, Steven W.; Lange, Benjamin A.; Charette, Joannie; Reppchen, Anke; Tremblay, Pascal; Campbell, Karley; Ferguson, Steven. H.; Michel, Christine (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-21)
      Ice algae are critical components to the lipid-driven Arctic marine food web, particularly early in the spring. As little is known about these communities in multiyear ice (MYI), we aimed to provide a baseline of fatty acid (FA) and stable isotope signatures of sea-ice communities in MYI from the Lincoln Sea and compare these biomarkers to first-year ice (FYI). Significant differences in the relative ...
    • Net heterotrophy in High Arctic first-year and multi-year spring sea ice 

      Campbell, Karley; Lange, Benjamin; Landy, Jack Christopher; Katlein, Christian; Nicolaus, Marcel; Anhaus, Philipp; Matero, Ilkka; Gradinger, Rolf; Charette, Joannie; Duerksen, Steven; Tremblay, Pascal; Rysgaard, Søren; Tranter, Martyn; Haas, Christian; Michel, Christine (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-04)
      The net productivity of sea ice is determined by the physical and geochemical characteristics of the ice–ocean system and the activity of organisms inhabiting the ice. Differences in habitat suitability between first-year and multi-year sea ice can affect the ice algal community composition and acclimation state, introducing considerable variability to primary production within each ice type. In ...
