Under-ice phytoplankton blooms: Shedding light on the “invisible” part of Arctic primary production
The growth of phytoplankton at high latitudes was generally thought to begin in open waters

Selected physical, biological and biogeochemical implications of a rapidly changing Arctic Marginal Ice Zone
Abstract The Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ) of the Arctic Ocean is changing rapidly due to a
warming Arctic climate with commensurate reductions in sea ice extent and thickness. This …
