SAS aims to map the present states and ongoing changes of the Arctic Ocean ecosystem, carbon cycle and associated hydrography. It does so by enhancing ongoing ocean monitoring with ship-based measurements.
This webinar showcases recent updates on carbon exchange between the different pools in the carbon cycle of the Arctic Ocean. Marine carbon originates from river run-off (terrestrial) or air-sea fluxes (atmospheric) and is exported to the deep through large-scale currents where it feeds benthic organisms, if there is sufficient light and other nutrients.
There will be three solicited talks with room for questions and discussions:
- Caroline Gjelstrup - Postdoc. at DTU Aqua, Denmark: Tracing the Origins and Fate of Freshwater and Organic Carbon in the Lower Limb of the AMOC
- Sayaka Yasunaka - Professor at Tohoku University, Japan: Arctic Ocean CO2 Uptake
- Karl Attard - Associate professor at University of Southern Denmark, Denmark: Seafloor primary production in a changing Arctic Ocean
