PhD project title:

Seasonal production and community composition of mesozooplankton in the northern Barents Sea.

PhD project description:

I am a PhD student within the research project ‘The Nansen Legacy’ (https://arvenetternansen.com/) that works towards a better understanding of the changing climate and ecosystem of the northern Barents Sea and adjacent Arctic Ocean. My thesis investigates secondary production in the Barents Sea during different seasons and in relation to physical and biological drivers. A special focus lays on the previously overlooked group of copepods of a size < 2 mm, which will help to evaluate their importance for secondary production in Arctic marine ecosystems.

Start date: August 2019
Planned submission date: November 2023
