The Synoptic Arctic Survey (SAS) announce their upcoming webinar, titled The Arctic Ocean’s Carbon Cycle. This webinar will take place via Zoom on Monday, 18 November 2024 at 1:00 p.m. UTC.

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
