iC3 - Centre for ice, Cryosphere, Carbon and Climate

Jordas globale karbonsyklus fungerer som en kontrollknapp for globalt klima fordi den påvirker mengden av klimagasser, som metan og karbondioksid i atmosfæren. Polare isdekker og omkringliggende landområder, fjorder og hav, som dekker 16% av jordas overflate, er i dag «hvite hull» i vår forståels...

Kelp forests in the Anthropocene: unravelling impacts of warming and marine heatwaves from genes to ecosystems

Økende temperatur og marine hetebølger har blitt de mest utbredte og ødeleggende uttrykkene for klimaendringer i havene våre. Klimaendringer, sammen med forurensning, kystutvikling, tarehøsting og akvakultur, har ødelagt tareskoger rundt om i verden. GEcoKelp har som mål å forstå hvordan oppvarmi...
