Biography
Research interests:
- Arctic cold seeps
- Chemosynthetic carbon sources
- Barents Sea ecosystem
- Benthic ecology.
Project title:
The impact of chemosynthetic carbon sources in marine food webs at Arctic cold seeps
Project objective:
Understand the extent to which methane-derived carbon from cold seeps (originating from petroleum/gas reservoirs) is incorporated into higher trophic level organisms in the Barents Sea.
Project duration: 01.06.2018 – 31.05.2021
Project manager: Bodil Bluhm
