  • A significant amount of dissolved organic carbon in the Arctic Ocean comes from land

    melting more and more frozen ground in the Arctic. This dissolved matter contains large amounts of organic carbon which is flowing into the central Arctic ocean. In a new study, scientists led by Alfred [...] matter accumulates in the central Arctic Ocean. Using chemical fingerprints, they were able to assess how fast it degrades, thus releasing additional CO2 to the ocean. These findings are an important basis [...] basis to project how inputs from land affect Arctic marine ecosystems and the ability of the ocean to store CO2 in a warming climate. The results are published in the journal Nature Geoscience.

Scientists from 20 nations collected valuable data about the Arctic, which is crucial for understanding the future climate change. In the SR3 podcast “Aus dem Leben”, Markus Rex reports on his [...] findings of this unique mission. The data obtained provides important insights into the dynamics of the Arctic climate and its global impact. SR3 Podcast: Die größte Arktis-Mission aller Zeiten Christian Haas
