Impact of ocean acidification on arctic zooplankton populations

About one third of emitted CO2 is absorbed into the world´s oceans, and the elevated partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) is now changing the pH of the oceans. This so-called "ocean acidification" (OA) may disturb affected marine populations in ways we cannot y et predict. In this respect, the Arctic c...

POLARPROG-Polarforskningsprogram

Synergistic effects of sea ice-free periods and contaminant exposure on energy metabolism in polar bears

Isbjørnen er blant de mest sårbare artene ovenfor klimaendringer, dette mye på grunn av sin avhengighet av havisen for å jakte på ringsel. Lengre isfrie sommersesonger og økt sesongvariasjon i isutbredelsen vil få mest konsekvenser for gravide og ammende binner, og kan derfor til slutt påvirke in...

Developing methods for advanced modeling of sea ice physical properties

Fordelingen av sjøis på jorden er en nøkkelkomponent i klimasystemet. Den påvirker varme- og energiutvekslingen mellom oseanet og atmosfæren, strålingsbalanset, opprinnelsen av havsirkulasjoner og med partikkeltransporten også næringskjeden.
