PhD project title:

What sinks? Patterns and species composition of downward carbon export in a changing Arctic seasonal ice zone

Project description:

As the Arctic seasonal ice zone is experiencing rapid changes in thickness, drift and cover duration, subsequent changes are expected in the coupling between the ice and the pelagic realms. My PhD project will aim to track changes occurring on the species level in ice algae, phytoplankton and zooplankton and their relative contributions to vertical carbon export from the sea ice and under ice waters and out of the euphotic zone. Together with the other members of the Arctic SIZE project, we aim to get a comprehensive understanding of seasonal ice covered ecosystems in the northern Barents Sea and Svalbard region.

PhD project title:

Biological effects of crude oil in fish species from the Barents Sea.

PhD project description:

The main objective of my PhD project is to elucidate the biological effects of petroleum exposure in fish on survival and fitness of early life stages (ELS). On the one hand, we will determine the toxicity of different crude oil related contaminants in fish early life stages directly exposed to the toxicant. With this study, we challenge a common belief that PAHs are mainly responsible for the toxicity of the water-soluble fraction of crude oil and act via specific pathways.  On the other hand, we will investigate indirect effects of crude oil exposure on gametes and ELS. We will analyse contaminant accumulation in oocytes arising from parental transfer and study the endocrine disruption potential of crude oil in adult fish via molecular changes in the brain-pituitary-gonad-liver axis.

PhD project title:

Mapping trophic interactions in small Arctic invertebrates.

PhD project description:

The overarching goal of my PhD-project is to characterize the prey species composition of small Arctic invertebrates along a spatial and temporal gradient in the Barents Sea. My first task is to dissect the diet of small but numerically abundant copepods such as Oithona similis. Due to their small size (< 2 mm), these animals have received less scientific annotation relative to larger Arctic copepods (e.g. Calanus spp.). Moreover, central aspects such as their feeding remains particularly enigmatic due to practical difficulties in identifying small and partially digested organisms from small stomachs. Today, next-generation sequencing and standardized bioinformatics pipelines allow studying the complexity of these trophic interactions in detail. We are therefore using the so-called dietary metabarcoding pipeline to characterize the species composition in their gut-contents, during different seasons and at different latitudes.
