      n the Arctic Ocean ice algae constitute a key ecosystem component and the ice algal spring bloom a critical event in the annual production cycle. The bulk of ice algal biomass is usually found in the bottom few cm of the ...
    • The seeding of ice algal blooms in Arctic pack ice: The multiyear ice seed repository hypothesis 

      Olsen, Lasse Mork; Laney, Samuel R.; Duarte, Pedro; Kauko, Hanna M.; Fernández-Méndez, Mar; Mundy, Christopher John; Rösel, Anja; Meyer, Amelie; Itkin, Polona; Cohen, Lana; Peeken, Ilka; Tatarek, Agnieszka; Róźańska-Pluta, Magdalena; Wiktor, Josef; Taskjelle, Torbjørn; Pavlov, Alexey; Hudson, Stephen R.; Granskog, Mats A.; Hop, Haakon; Assmy, Philipp (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-07)
      During the Norwegian young sea ICE expedition (N-ICE2015) from January to June 2015 the pack ice in the Arctic Ocean north of Svalbard was studied during four drifts between 83° and 80°N. This pack ice consisted of a mix ...
