• Compositional differences in dissolved organic matter between Arctic cold seeps versus non-seep sites at the Svalbard continental margin and the Barents sea 

      Sert, Muhammed Fatih; D’Andrilli, Juliana; Gründger, Friederike; Niemann, Helge; Granskog, Mats; Pavlov, Alexey K.; Ferré, Benedicte; Silyakova, Anna (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-07)
      Dissociating gas hydrates, submerged permafrost, and gas bearing sediments release methane to the water column from a multitude of seeps in the Arctic Ocean. The seeping methane dissolves and supports the growth of aerobic methane oxidizing bacteria (MOB), but the effect of seepage and seep related biogeochemical processes on water column dissolved organic matter (DOM) dynamics is not well ...

    • Does your lab use social media? Sharing three years of experience in science communication 

      Pavlov, Alexey K.; Meyer, Amelie; Rösel, Anja; Cohen, Lana; King, Jennifer; Itkin, Polona; Negrel, Jean; Gerland, Sebastian; Hudson, Stephen R.; Dodd, Paul A.; de Steur, Laura; Mathisen, Stig; Cobbing, Nick; Granskog, Mats A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-27)
      Effective science communication is essential to share knowledge and recruit the next generation of researchers. Science communication to the general public can, however, be hampered by limited resources and a lack of incentives in the academic environment. Various social media platforms have recently emerged, providing free and simple science communication tools to reach the public and young people ...
    • Leads in Arctic pack ice enable early phytoplankton blooms below snow-covered sea ic 

      Assmy, Philipp; Fernández-Méndez, Mar; Duarte, Pedro; Meyer, Amelie; Randelhoff, Achim; Mundy, Christopher John; Olsen, Lasse; Kauko, Hanna M.; Bailey, Allison; Chierici, Melissa; Cohen, Lana; Doulgeris, Anthony Paul; Ehn, Jens K.; Fransson, Agneta; Gerland, Sebastian; Hop, Haakon; Hudson, Stephen R.; Hughes, Nick; Itkin, Polona; Johnsen, Geir; King, Jennifer A.; Koch, Boris P.; Koenig, Zoe; Kwasniewski, Slawomir; Laney, Samuel R.; Nikolaus, Marcel; Pavlov, Alexey K.; Polashenski, Christopher M.; Provost, Christine; Rösel, Anja; Sandbu, Marthe; Spreen, Gunnar; Smedsrud, Lars H.; Sundfjord, Arild; Taskjelle, Torbjørn; Tatarek, Agnieszka; Wiktor, Josef; Wagner, Penelope Mae; Wold, Anette; Steen, Harald; Granskog, Mats A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-01-19)
      The Arctic icescape is rapidly transforming from a thicker multiyear ice cover to a thinner and largely seasonal first-year ice cover with significant consequences for Arctic primary production. One critical challenge is to understand how productivity will change within the next decades. Recent studies have reported extensive phytoplankton blooms beneath ponded sea ice during summer, indicating ...
    • Marine CDOM accumulation during a coastal Arctic mesocosm experiment: No response to elevated pCO2 levels 

      Pavlov, Alexey K.; Silyakova, Anna; Granskog, Mats A.; Bellerby, Richard; Engel, Anja; Schulz, Kai G.; Brussaard, Corina P. D. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-05-22)
      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 ...
    • A red tide in the pack ice of the Arctic Ocean 

      Olsen, Lasse Mork; Duarte, Pedro; Peralta-Ferriz, Cecilia; Kauko, Hanna Maria; Johansson, Malin; Peeken, Ilka; Różańska-Pluta, Magdalena; Tatarek, Agnieszka; Wiktor, Jozef; Fernández-Méndez, Mar; Wagner, Penelope Mae; Pavlov, Alexey K.; Hop, Haakon; Assmy, Phillipp (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-02)
      In 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 sea ice and dominated by pennate diatoms attached to the ice matrix. Here we report a red tide of the phototrophic ciliate <i>Mesodinium rubrum</i> located at the ice-water interface ...
    • Responses in Arctic marine carbon cycle processes: Conceptual scenarios and implications for ecosystem function 

      Findlay, Helen S.; Gibson, Georgina; Kędra, Monika; Morata, Nathalie; Orchowska, Monika; Pavlov, Alexey K.; Reigstad, Marit; Silyakova, Anna; Tremblay, Jean-Éric; Walczowski, Waldemar; Weydmann, Agata; Logvinova, Christie (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-04-15)
      The Arctic Ocean is one of the fastest changing oceans, plays an important role in global carbon cycling and yet is a particularly challenging ocean to study. Hence, observations tend to be relatively sparse in both space and time. How the Arctic functions, geophysically, but also ecologically, can have significant consequences for the internal cycling of carbon, and subsequently influence carbon ...
    • Terrestrial Inputs Drive Seasonality in Organic Matter and Nutrient Biogeochemistry in a High Arctic Fjord System (Isfjorden, Svalbard) 

      Mcgovern, Maeve; Pavlov, Alexey K.; Deininger, Anne; Granskog, Mats; Leu, Eva Susanne; Søreide, Janne; Poste, Amanda (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-08)
      Climate-change driven increases in temperature and precipitation are leading to increased discharge of freshwater and terrestrial material to Arctic coastal ecosystems. These inputs bring sediments, nutrients and organic matter (OM) across the land-ocean interface with a range of implications for coastal ecosystems and biogeochemical cycling. To investigate responses to terrestrial inputs, physicochemical ...
    • Tidewater glaciers and bedrock characteristics control the phytoplankton growth environment in a fjord in the arctic 

      Halbach, Laura; Vihtakari, Mikko; Duarte, Pedro; Everett, Alistair; Granskog, Mats; Hop, Haakon; Kauko, Hanna Maria; Kristiansen, Svein; Myhre, Per Inge; Pavlov, Alexey K.; Pramanik, Ankit; Tatarek, Agnieszka; Torsvik, Tomas; Wiktor, Józef Maria; Wold, Anette; Wulff, Angela; Steen, Harald; Assmy, Philipp (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-31)
      Meltwater discharge from tidewater glaciers impacts the adjacent marine environment. Due to the global warming, tidewater glaciers are retreating and will eventually terminate on land. Yet, the mechanisms through which meltwater runoff and subglacial discharge from tidewater glaciers influence marine primary production remain poorly understood, as data in close proximity to glacier fronts are scarce. ...
    • Warming of Atlantic Water in two west Spitsbergen fjords over the last century (1912-2009) 

      Pavlov, Alexey K.; Tverberg, Vigdis; Ivanov, Boris; Nilsen, Frank; Falk-Petersen, Stig; Granskog, Mats A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      The recently observed warming of west Spitsbergen fjords has led to anomalous sea-ice conditions and has implications for the marine ecosystem. We investigated long-term trends of maximum temperature of AtlanticWater (AW) in two west Spitsbergen fjords. The data set is composed of more than 400 oceanographic stations for Isfjorden and Grønfjorden (78.18N), spanning from 1876 to 2009. Trends ...
