The Arctic region: the Iceland sea and the Greenland sea

Dissolved oxygen parameters in the water column; Partial pressure (pCO2) and fugacity (fCO2) of carbon dioxide in the water column; Phosphate concentration parameters in the water column; Salinity of the water column; Silicate concentration parameters in the water column; Total dissolved inorganic carbon (TCO2) concentration in the water column; Temperature of the water column

Fluorometers; CTD; discrete water samplers; autoanalysers; titrators; spectrophotometers

The purpose of this research project is:

   1) to analyse and quantify fluxes and production of inorganic and organic material and energy fluxes, including currents and watermasses, in the ecological system of the Iceland sea and adjoining seas, with the intention of acquiring an holistic understanding of the ecological system and its mechanics.
   2) to analyse the factors that govern the life history of the capelin stock.
