New ARCTOS PhD – Yasemin Bodur

Yasemin successfully defended her PhD thesis on June 28 at UiT in Tromsø. A title of her thesis was: “Aspects of the biological carbon pump in the Atlantic sector of the Arctic: Aggregation, vertical flux and pelagic-benthic coupling“, and can be downloaded here.

Her supervisors have been: Professor Marit Reigstad, UiT; and senior scientist Paul Renaud, Akvaplan-niva.

Yasemin’s thesis consists of three papers:

Paper II: Bodur, Y. V., Renaud, P. E., Goraguer, L., Amargant-Arumí, M., Assmy, P., Dąbrowska, A. M., … & Reigstad, M. (2023).
