• Algal colonization of young arctic sea ice in spring 

      Kauko, Hanna Maria; Olsen, Lasse Mork; Duarte, Pedro; Peeken, Ilka; Granskog, Mats A.; Johnsen, Geir; Fernández-Méndez, Mar; Pavlov, Alexey; Mundy, Christopher John; Assmy, Philipp (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      The importance of newly formed sea ice in spring is likely to increase with formation of leads in a more dynamic Arctic icescape. We followed the ice algal species succession in young ice (≤ 0.27 m) in spring at high ...
    • Algal hot spots in a changing Arctic Ocean: Sea-ice ridges and the snow-ice interface 

      Fernández-Méndez, Mar; Olsen, Lasse Mork; Kauko, Hanna M.; Meyer, Amelie; Rösel, Anja; Merkouriadi, Ioanna; Mundy, Christopher John; Ehn, Jens K.; Johansson, Malin; Wagner, Penelope Mae; Ervik, Åse; Sorrell, BK; Duarte, Pedro; Wold, Anette; Hop, Haakon; Assmy, Phillipp (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      During the N-ICE2015 drift expedition north-west of Svalbard, we observed the establishment and development of algal communities in first-year ice (FYI) ridges and at the snow-ice interface. Despite some indications of ...
    • Leads in Arctic pack ice enable early phytoplankton blooms below snow-covered sea ice

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      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 ...
