      Nomura, Daiki; Granskog, Mats A.; Fransson, Agneta; Chierici, Melissa; Silyakova, Anna; Ohshima, Kay; Cohen, Lana; Delille, Bruno; Hudson, Stephen R.; Dieckmann, Gerhard (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-05)
      Rare CO2 flux measurements from Arctic pack ice show that two types of ice contribute to the release of CO2 from the ice to the atmosphere during winter and spring: young, thin ice with a thin layer of snow and older (several weeks), thicker ice with thick snow cover. Young, thin sea ice is characterized by high salinity and high porosity, and snow-covered thick ice remains relatively warm ( >  −7.5 °C) ...
    • Compositions of dissolved organic matter in the ice-covered waters above the Aurora hydrothermal vent system, Gakkel Ridge, Arctic Ocean 

      Sert, Muhammed Fatih; Niemann, Helge; Reeves, Eoghan; Granskog, Mats A.; Hand, Kevin P.; Kekäläinen, Timo; Jänis, Janne; Rossel, Pamela; Ferré, Benedicte; Silyakova, Anna; Gründger, Friederike (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-20)
      Hydrothermal vents modify and displace subsurface dissolved organic matter (DOM) into the ocean. Once in the ocean, this DOM is transported together with elements, particles, dissolved gases and biomass along with the neutrally buoyant plume layer. Considering the number and extent of actively venting hydrothermal sites in the oceans, their contribution to the oceanic DOM pool may be substantial. ...

      A large-scale multidisciplinary mesocosm experiment in an Arctic fjord (Kongsfjorden, Svalbard; 78°56.2′N) was used to study Arctic marine food webs and biogeochemical elements cycling at natural and elevated future carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. At the start of the experiment, marine-derived chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) dominated the CDOM pool. Thus, this experiment constituted a ...
    • Methane release from open leads and new ice following an Arctic winter storm event 

      Silyakova, Anna; Nomura, Daiki; Kotovitch, Marie; Fransson, Agneta; Delille, Bruno; Chierici, Melissa; Granskog, Mats A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-03)
      We examine an Arctic winter storm event, which led to ice break–up, the formation of open leads, and the subsequent freezing of these leads. The methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) concentration in under–ice surface water before and during the storm event was 8–12 nmol L<sup>−1</sup>, which resulted in a potential sea–to–air CH<sub>4</sub> flux ranging from +0.2 to +2.1 mg CH<sub>4</sub> m<sup>−2</sup> ...
