• From winter to late summer in the northwestern Barents Sea shelf: Impacts of seasonal progression of sea ice and upper ocean on nutrient and phytoplankton dynamics 

      Koenig, Zoe Charlotte; Muilwijk, Morven; Sandven, Håkon Johan; Lundesgaard, Øyvind; Assmy, Philipp Kurt Wolf; Lind, Sigrid Gjessing; Assmann, Karen; Chierici, Melissa; Fransson, Agneta; Gerland, Sebastian; Jones, Elizabeth Marie; Renner, Angelika; Granskog, Mats (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Strong seasonality is a key feature of high-latitude systems like the Barents Sea. While the interannual variability and long-term changes of the Barents Sea are well-documented, the seasonal progression of the physical ...
    • Phenology and Environmental Control of Phytoplankton Blooms in the Kong Håkon VII Hav in the Southern Ocean 

      Kauko, Hanna Maria; Hattermann, Tore; Ryan-Keogh, Thomas J.; Singh, Asmita; de Steur, Laura; Fransson, Agneta; Chierici, Melissa; Falkenhaug, Tone; Hallfredsson, Elvar H.; Bratbak, Gunnar; Tsagaraki, Tatiana Margo; Berge, Terje; Zhou, Qin; Moreau, Sebastien (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Knowing the magnitude and timing of pelagic primary production is important for ecosystem and carbon sequestration studies, in addition to providing basic understanding of phytoplankton functioning. In this study we use ...
    • Snowmelt contribution to Arctic first-year ice ridge mass balance and rapid consolidation during summer melt 

      Lange, Benjamin A.; Salganik, Evgenii; Macfarlane, Amy; Schneebeli, Martin; Høyland, Knut Vilhelm; Gardner, Jessie; Müller, Oliver; Divine, Dmitry; Kohlbach, Doreen; Katlein, Christian; Granskog, Mats (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Sea ice ridges are one of the most under-sampled and poorly understood components of the Arctic sea ice system. Yet, ridges play a crucial role in the sea ice mass balance and have been identified as ecological hotspots ...
    • Spatial Patterns, Mechanisms, and Predictability of Barents Sea Ice Change 

      Efstathiou, Evangelia; Eldevik, Tor; Årthun, Marius; Lind, Sigrid (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Recent Arctic winter sea ice loss has been most pronounced in the Barents Sea. Here we explore the spatial structure of Barents Sea ice change as observed over the last 40 years. The dominant mode of winter sea ice ...
    • Temporal evolution of under-ice meltwater layers and false bottoms and their impact on summer Arctic sea ice mass balance 

      Salganik, Evgenii; Katlein, Christian; Lange, Benjamin; Matero, Ilkka; Lei, Ruibo; Fong, Allison A.; Fons, Steven; Divine, Dmitry; Oggier, Marc; Castellani, Giulia; Bozzato, Deborah; Chamberlain, Emelia; Hoppe, Clara J. M.; Müller, Oliver; Gardner, Jessie; Rinke, Annette; Simoes Pereira, Patric; Ulfsbo, Adam; Marsay, Christopher; Webster, Melinda; Maus, Sønke; Høyland, Knut Vilhelm; Granskog, Mats (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Low-salinity meltwater from Arctic sea ice and its snow cover accumulates and creates under-ice meltwater layers below sea ice. These meltwater layers can result in the formation of new ice layers, or false bottoms, at the ...
    • Thin and transient meltwater layers and false bottoms in the Arctic sea ice pack-Recent insights on these historically overlooked features 

      Smith, Madison M.; Muilwijk, Morven; Chierici, Melissa; Fer, Ilker; Fransson, Agneta; Gardner, Jessie; Granskog, Mats; Müller, Oliver; Salganik, Evgenii (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      The rapid melt of snow and sea ice during the Arctic summer provides a significant source of low-salinity meltwater to the surface ocean on the local scale. The accumulation of this meltwater on, under, and around sea ice ...
