Scientists usually define the Arctic as the area above the ‘Arctic Circle’ — an imaginary line that circles around the top of the globe. 2. The Arctic consists of the Arctic Ocean and parts of Canada, Russia, the USA, Greenland, Norway, Finland, Sweden and Iceland. Did you know ...
Today, the Arctic is warming at a record rate compared to the rest of the world, and jellyfish species from the Atlantic Ocean have been observed to spread northward. This ‘Atlantification’ may make jellyfish even more important as a resource within Arctic food webs. “To get a better i...

Conducting comprehensive expeditionary research in the Arctic Ocean (including bathymetric and gravimetric work, acoustic profiling), performing hydrographic research to ensure the safety of navigation, as well as long-term hydrographic research, including deep-sea research, in order to study the underwate...
As written in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on the ocean and cryosphere in a changing climate, the practice of knowledge co-production would gain from further methodological innovations and better training of researchers [1]. In this context the Socially-...
The current composition of oceanic life is also likely to change as sea ice melts because North Pacific lineages of mollusks will likely migrate once the ocean warms, causing a chain reaction in Arctic oceanic ecosystems [15]. Current climate models are predicting that the thinning of sea ice ...
found similarities between air and snow communities and those bacterial communities found in the surrounding Arctic Ocean, drawing the conclusion that local sources are the largest contributors which influence bacterial community assemblages. Their study also found organisms not normally associated with the ...
