The Synoptic Arctic Survey (SAS) is a researcher-driven initiative that aims to enhance ongoing ocean monitoring with ship-based measurements, to establish the present states of the Arctic Ocean ecosystem, carbon cycle and associated hydrography. SAS has coordinated a multi-ship survey using an international fleet of icebreakers and research vessels, where more than 25 cruises from 11 different nations collected a set of parameters across the Arctic Ocean in 2020-2022. This comprehensive dataset will allow for unprecedented assessments and provide a unique baseline to track future climate change and its impacts.

This webinar showcases recent updates on carbon exchange between the different pools in the carbon cycle of the Arctic Ocean. Marine carbon originates from river run-off (terrestrial) or air-sea fluxes (atmospheric) and is exported to the deep through large-scale currents where it feeds benthic organisms if there is sufficient light and other nutrients. There will be three solicited talks with room for questions and discussions:

Tracing the origins and fate of freshwater and organic carbon in the lower limb of the AMOC

Caroline Gjelstrup - Postdoc. at DTU Aqua, Denmark

Connectivity between Siberian river runoff and the lower limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation - Limnology and Oceanography 

Arctic Ocean CO2 uptake

Sayaka Yasunaka - Professor at Tohoku University, Japan

An Assessment of CO2 Uptake in the Arctic Ocean From 1985 to 2018 - Global Biogeochemical Cycles  

Seafloor primary production in the Arctic: Status and trends

Karl Attard - Associate professor at University of Southern Denmark, Denmark

Seafloor primary production in a changing Arctic Ocean - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

The webinar will take place in Zoom. If you would like to join the webinar, please register to receive the meeting link:
