Synoptic Arctic Survey Webinar #5: The Arctic Ocean’s Carbon Cycle

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
