This autumn another ARCTOS PhD student successfully defended her thesis: Ingrid Wiedmann. Friday November 13th could not scare her nor the many colleagues, friends and family members who attended her trial lecture and defense of her thesis entitled:<\/p>\n

“Potential drivers of the downward carbon and particle flux in Arctic marine ecosystems under contrasting hydrographical and ecological situations”<\/p>\n

In order to investigate potential drivers of vertical POC flux Ingrid deployed short-term sediment traps under contrasting hydrographical and ecological situations in the Barents Sea (north-south gradient study) and in Adventfjorden, Svalbard (seasonal study). In the Barents Sea the highest POC flux was observed in the south (post-bloom situation) and in Adventfjorden during autumn. Ingrid’s study also shows that high vertical POC flux is not necessarily caused by large sinking particles or a high sinking particle volume, but may also occur in form of small particles with a high POC:volume ratio.<\/p>\n

Ingrid’s thesis consists of three articles:<\/p>\n
