The Synoptic Arctic Survey (SAS) announces their upcoming SAS webinar series event, titled Sea-ice and its Impact on the Arctic Ocean. This webinar will take place via Zoom on 17 June 2024, 8:00-9:30 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time (12:00 – 13:30 UTC).
The SAS aims to map the present states and ongoing changes of the Arctic Ocean ecosystem, carbon cycle, and associated hydrography. It does so by coordination of cruises and measurements through multi-ship surveys with pan-Arctic coverage every 10 years.
This webinar showcases how the characteristic sea-ice in the Arctic Ocean is varying, and how changes in sea-ice cover affect both the global carbon cycle and Arctic marine ecosystems. It will be moderated by Are Olsen, the co-chair of the SAS scientific steering committee, who will also give a brief introduction to the SAS initiative.
There will be three solicited talks with room for questions and discussions:
Jakob Dörr: Post doc at University of Bergen, Norway
Present and future influence of ocean heat transport on winter Arctic sea-ice variability
Zhangxian Ouyang: Researcher at University of Delaware, U.S.A.
Sea-ice loss amplifies decadal surface CO2 increase and enhances ocean acidification in the western Arctic Ocean
Yuri Fukai: Post doc at JAMSTEC, Japan
Impact of sea-ice dynamics on the spatial distribution of diatoms in sediments of the Pacific Arctic Region
