      Fernández-Méndez, Mar; Olsen, Lasse Mork; Kauko, Hanna M.; Meyer, Amelie; Rösel, Anja; Merkouriadi, Ioanna; Mundy, Christopher John; Ehn, Jens K.; Johansson, Malin; Wagner, Penelope Mae; Ervik, Åse; Sorrell, BK; Duarte, Pedro; Wold, Anette; Hop, Haakon; Assmy, Phillipp (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-12)
      During the N-ICE2015 drift expedition north-west of Svalbard, we observed the establishment and development of algal communities in first-year ice (FYI) ridges and at the snow-ice interface. Despite some indications of being hot spots for biological activity, ridges are under-studied largely because they are complex structures that are difficult to sample. Snow infiltration communities can grow at ...
    • Can we extend local sea-ice measurements to satellite scale? An example from the N-ICE2015 expedition 

      Rösel, Anja; King, Jennifer; Doulgeris, Anthony P.; Wagner, Penelope M.; Johansson, Malin; Gerland, Sebastian (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-12-17)
      Knowledge of Arctic sea-ice conditions is of great interest for Arctic residents, as well as for commercial usage, and to study the effects of climate change. Information gained from analysis of satellite data contributes to this understanding. In the course of using in situ data in combination with remotely sensed data, the question of how representative local scale measurements are of a wider ...
    • Does your lab use social media? Sharing three years of experience in science communication 

      Pavlov, Alexey K.; Meyer, Amelie; Rösel, Anja; Cohen, Lana; King, Jennifer; Itkin, Polona; Negrel, Jean; Gerland, Sebastian; Hudson, Stephen R.; Dodd, Paul A.; de Steur, Laura; Mathisen, Stig; Cobbing, Nick; Granskog, Mats A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-27)
      Effective science communication is essential to share knowledge and recruit the next generation of researchers. Science communication to the general public can, however, be hampered by limited resources and a lack of incentives in the academic environment. Various social media platforms have recently emerged, providing free and simple science communication tools to reach the public and young people ...

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-19)
      The Arctic icescape is rapidly transforming from a thicker multiyear ice cover to a thinner and largely seasonal first-year ice cover with significant consequences for Arctic primary production. One critical challenge is to understand how productivity will change within the next decades. Recent studies have reported extensive phytoplankton blooms beneath ponded sea ice during summer, indicating ...
    • Sea ice segmentation using Tandem-X pursuit mono static and alternative bistatic modes 

      Yitayew, Temesgen Gebrie; Doulgeris, Anthony Paul; Eltoft, Torbjørn; Dierking, Wolfgang Fritz Otto; Brekke, Camilla; Rösel, Anja (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-12-04)
      In this paper we investigate interferometric pairs of SAR images acquired by Tandem-X with the monostatic pursuit and the alternative bistatic modes for sea ice segmentation. The individual SAR images are modelled as non-Gaussian, and from the modelled data different features are extracted, stacked together and clustered. The interferometric coherence is regarded as an additional feature and utilized ...
    • Sea ice thermohaline dynamics and biogeochemistry in the Arctic Ocean: Empirical and model results 

      Duarte, Pedro; Meyer, Amelie; Olsen, Lasse Mork; Kauko, Hanna Maria; Assmy, Philipp; Rösel, Anja; Itkin, Polona; Hudson, Stephen R.; Granskog, Mats A.; Gerland, Sebastian; Sundfjord, Arild; Steen, Harald; Hop, Haakon; Cohen, Lana; Peterson, Algot Kristoffer; Jeffery, Nicole; Elliott, Scott M.; Hunke, Elizabeth Clare; Turner, Adrian K. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-07-11)
      Large changes in the sea ice regime of the Arctic Ocean have occurred over the last decades justifying the development of models to forecast sea ice physics and biogeochemistry. The main goal of this study is to evaluate the performance of the Los Alamos Sea Ice Model (CICE) to simulate physical and biogeochemical properties at time scales of a few weeks and to use the model to analyze ice algal ...
    • The seeding of ice algal blooms in Arctic pack ice: The multiyear ice seed repository hypothesis 

      Olsen, Lasse Mork; Laney, Samuel R.; Duarte, Pedro; Kauko, Hanna M.; Fernández-Méndez, Mar; Mundy, Christopher John; Rösel, Anja; Meyer, Amelie; Itkin, Polona; Cohen, Lana; Peeken, Ilka; Tatarek, Agnieszka; Róźańska-Pluta, Magdalena; Wiktor, Josef; Taskjelle, Torbjørn; Pavlov, Alexey; Hudson, Stephen R.; Granskog, Mats A.; Hop, Haakon; Assmy, Philipp (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-07-03)
      During the Norwegian young sea ICE expedition (N-ICE2015) from January to June 2015 the pack ice in the Arctic Ocean north of Svalbard was studied during four drifts between 83° and 80°N. This pack ice consisted of a mix of second year, fi rst year, and young ice. The physical properties and ice algal community composition was investigated in the three different ice types during the ...
    • Winter storms accelerate the demise of sea ice in the Atlantic sector of the Arctic Ocean

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-06-25)
      A large retreat of sea-ice in the ‘stormy’ Atlantic Sector of the Arctic Ocean has become evident through a series of record minima for the winter maximum sea-ice extent since 2015. Results from the Norwegian young sea ICE (N-ICE2015) expedition, a five-month-long (Jan-Jun) drifting ice station in first and second year pack-ice north of Svalbard, showcase how sea-ice in this region is frequently ...
