Ongoing climate warming is causing a dramatic loss of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean, and it is
projected that the Arctic Ocean will become seasonally ice-free by 2040. Many studies of …

Phytoplankton phenology is a key driver of biological and chemical processes in marine
ecosystems because it directly affects cycling of nutrients, the strength of the biological …

The decrease in Arctic sea-ice extent and thickness as a result of global warming will impact
the timing, duration, magnitude and composition of phytoplankton production with cascading …

Isfjorden, a broad Arctic fjord in western Spitsbergen, has shown significant changes in
hydrography and inflow of Atlantic Water (AW) the last decades that only recently have been …

The Adventfjorden time series station (IsA) in Isfjorden, West Spitsbergen, Norway, was
sampled frequently from December 2011 to December 2012. The community composition of …

Concentrations of seven polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), and

Global warming, combined with an increasing influence of Atlantic Waters in the European
Arctic, are causing a so-called Atlantification of the Arctic. This phenomenon is affecting the …

Abstract The Arctic Ocean north of Svalbard has recently experienced large sea ice losses
and the increasing prominence of Atlantic water (AW) advection. To investigate the impact of …

Arctic fjords experience extremely pronounced seasonal variability and spatial
heterogeneity associated with changes in ice cover, glacial retreat and the intrusion of …

We investigated the size and trophic structure of the annual planktonic protist community
structure in the ice-free Adventfjorden in relation to environmental factors. Our high …
