      Dilliplaine, Kyle; Oggier, Marc; Collins, R Eric; Eicken, Hajo; Gradinger, Rolf; Bluhm, Bodil (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-18)
      Oil production in Arctic ice-covered areas poses a risk for pollution of the ecosystem including that within the brine channel network of sea ice. Sea-ice autotrophs contribute substantially to Arctic primary production, but are inherently difficult to test for oil exposure responses in situ. This study had two objectives, first, we developed a suitable lab-based mesocosm system, second, we tested ...

      In the Arctic, presence of sea ice presents a challenge to safe and sustainable operations. To optimize planning and minimize impact of inadvertent oil spills, oil-in-ice experiments were performed at the HSVA Arctic Environmental Test Basin (AETB) from 14 March to 4 April 2017. Following an under-ice spill and simulated springtime warming, the microscopic movement and distribution of oil in the sea ...

      The formation of platelet ice is well known to occur under Antarctic sea ice, where subice platelet layers form from supercooled ice shelf water. In the Arctic, however, platelet ice formation has not been extensively observed, and its formation and morphology currently remain enigmatic. Here, we present the first comprehensive, long‐term in situ observations of a decimeter thick subice platelet ...
    • Towards a unifying pan-arctic perspective: A conceptual modelling toolkit 

      Wassmann, Paul; Carmack, E.; Bluhm, Bodil; Duarte, Carlos M.; Berge, Jørgen; Brown, K.; Grebmeier, Jacqueline M.; Holding, Johnna; Kosobokova, Ksenia; Kwok, R.; Matrai, Patricia A.; Agusti, S.; Babin, Marcel; Bhatt, Uma S.; Eicken, Hajo; Polyakov, Igor V.; Rysgaard, Søren; Huntington, Henry P. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-17)
      The Arctic Ocean is overwhelmingly forced by its lateral boundaries, and interacts with, the global system. For the development of nested conceptual models of the Arctic Ocean ecosystem we here choose the full pan-Arctic as our focal scale. Understanding the pan-Arctic scale, however, requires that we look at the underlying scales of its major components, by considering regionality, connectivity and ...
