SAS webinar: Dynamic processes in the Arctic Ocean
Zoom webinar #4 2024 on Monday 23 September, 12:00 – 13:30 UTC
The Synoptic Arctic Survey (SAS) aims to map the present states and ongoing changes of the Arctic Ocean ecosystem, carbon cycle and associated hydrography. It does so by enhancing ongoing ocean monitoring with ship-based measurements.
This webinar showcases how ocean dynamics influences different processes of the Arctic Ocean. The circulation of water masses redistributes nutrients that provide the sustenance for the lower trophic levels of food webs in the marine ecosystem. It will be moderated by Øyvind Paasche, the chair of the SAS scientific steering committee, who will also give a brief introduction to the SAS initiative. There will be three solicited talks with room for questions and discussions:
-
- Peigen Lin – Associate professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China
- Recent state transition of the Beaufort Gyre
- Andreas Rogge – Post doc. at Alfred Wegner Institute, Germany
- Dense shelf water propagation and subduction drives lateral injection of particulate organic carbon into the deep Nansen Basin
- Johan Wikner -Professor at Umeå University, Sweden
- Contribution from prokaryotes to the Central Arctic Ocean carbon cycling
- Peigen Lin – Associate professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China
The webinar will take place in Zoom. If you would like to join the webinar, please register to receive the meeting link:
