Dato 1. februar 2024 00:00 – 1. februar 2028 00:00

Full title: Polar Ocean Mitigation Potential

Project lead: Århus University (Mikael Sejr)

Partners: Århus University, Akvaplan-niva, Alfred-Wegener-Institut/Helmholtz Centre for Marine and Polar Research, University of Southern Denmark, Greenland Institute for Natural Resources, Sorbonne University, UiT The Arctic University of Norway, NINA, CNRS (National Centre for Scientific Research, France), St. Andrews University, UK Research and Innovation (British Antarctic Survey), Scitation Science Communications, University Laval, University of Manitoba, University of Québec at Rimouski

Funding: EU: Horizon Europa

Primary objective: To advance the science on climate change impacts on polar ecosystem carbon sinks and biodiversity, with a focus on the capacity of ecosystems to mitigate increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations

Secondary objectives: Develop innovative CO2 mitigation assessment tools; Integrate ecosystem models with in situ and remote sensing data; inform and shape effective environmental policies; contribute significantly to national and international climate strategies

    Mitigating climate change in the Polar Ocean

    The Polar Oceans are among the ecosystems most impacted by climate change. This has implications for the important ecosystem services they provide for society. Two essential services include a unique biodiversity and a potential for climate change mitigation through a significant uptake of atmospheric CO2. The Polar Ocean Mitigation Potential (POMP) project aims to increase scientific knowledge on

    The role of ice algae in the future Arctic carbon cycle - presentation at the Gordon Research Conference

    The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Polar Marine Science took place in Tuscany, Italy, March 9. - 14.. The conference topic was Sea Ice as a Nexus in Polar Seas Between the Ocean and the Atmosphere. Prof Marcel Babin was chairing the conference with Lisa Miller as vice chair.
    Akvaplan-niva was represented by Eva Leu who presented a poster about the role of Melosira arctica in the future A
