Arctic marine biogeochemistry –
Introduction to the cycling and impact of elements in the physical and biological environment of the Arctic Ocean
Biogeochemistry studies chemical, physical, geological, and biological processes that govern the elemental composition of the natural environment, and is therefore a truly integrative and cross-disciplinary field of science, very much in the spirit of the Nansen Legacy. In this four day course 13 PhD and postdoctoral fellows received an introduction to the role of the Arctic Ocean in the global biogeochemical cycle, ocean acidification, the use of biogeochemical tracers for oceanographic studies, land-ocean coupling, and the intricate interplay between Arctic organisms and their physio-chemical environment.
Due to covid-19, the course had to be held digitally.
