Effects of pollutants in Svalbard marine mammals faced by the climate change - collaboration between Norway and Italy

Decline in the Arctic sea-ice leads to changes in available habitat for marine mammals. Loss of sea-ice will lead to increased energetic costs of foraging, thermoregulating etc. in ice-associated Arctic marine mammals. Ice-associated marine mammals are also subject to accumulation of high concent...

Can maternal exposure to low pH/elevated pCO2 seawater provide protection to the offspring of the keystone copepod Calanus glacialis to ocea

Emission of CO2 from anthropogenic sources has increased at unprecedented rates since the advent of industrialisation. The increased absorption of atmospheric CO2 by the oceans has led to an imbalance in seawater carbonate chemistry and to a reduction in seawater pH : a process known as ocean aci...
