• Arctic Pulse

    in the Arctic Ocean (Photo: Esther Horvath) From the boreal forest and tundra to the deep ocean, Arctic Pulse 2027 follows the journey of water, carbon, and sediments across the entire land–ocean system [...] and ocean, Arctic Pulse provides a holistic view of how physical, biogeochemical, and ecological processes interact across the land-ocean interface. These transformations not only reshape Arctic ecosystems [...] freshwater, sediments, carbon, nutrients, and contaminants from land to ocean. These changes directly affect the Arctic ocean’s freshwater balance and circulation, sea-ice, marine food webs, greenhouse-gas

In these zones magma rises from the Earth’s interior to the surface, cools down there [...] magma again. A region in which new seafloor continuously forms is, for instance, Gakkel Ridge in the Arctic. This is a submarine mountain range whose northern foothills extend from the northeast tip of Greenland
