Drivers of flagellate dominance in Arctic fjords, RiS ID 11813

The project aims to identify drivers of phytoplankton community structures in Arctic fjords. In particular, I study under which conditions a bloom is dominated by flagellates and under which conditions by diatoms. I will combine multivariate statistics on existing time series data in Greenland an...

Seasonal CO2 fixation in Billefjorden, chemotrophy vs phototrophy, RiS ID 10889

The aim of the project is to quantify carbon fluxes over the year using isotope labelling experiments. the focus will be on autotrophic carbon uptake via nitrification and photosynthesis. In addition, the heterotrophic carbon uptake by bacteria, arachaea, and microplankton will be measured. The m...

Microalgal communities in the cryosphere Controls and connectivity from glaciers to sea ice, RiS ID 10889

The aim of the project is to study the roles and controls of microalgae in the cryosphere. I will study communities on glaciers, in the fjords and in and underneath sea ice. Besides microscopy, next generation sequencing methods will be used for 18S amplicon sequencing in summer with high glacial...
