“Cryosphere Meltdown” – The Arctic’s Carbon Sink Is Cracking

Though phytoplankton may grow more in warmer waters, stratification limits nutrients, reducing the fjords’ long-term carbon sink effectiveness. A new study led by Jochen Knies at the iC3 Polar Research Hub reveals troubling evidence that climate change may be weakening the ability of Arctic fjords to act as effective carbon sinks. As global temperatures rise, […] Read More
