The Arctic carbon cycle is a key component of the ocean and, by virtue of its interaction with atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), also of fundamental importance to Earth’s climate. The Arctic Ocean is a system in rapid transition under the influence of natural processes and progressions caused by humans.
This project aims to provide information on transport of particles from the continental shelf areas of the Eurasian Arctic into the central Arctic basins, where settling through the water column and sedimentation occur.
