In mid-October, Chalmers Ocean hosted another breakfast seminar - this time focusing on research in the Arctic Ocean. The presentations explored observations of sea ice movement and deformation using satellite imagery and drifting buoys, as well as results from measurements of so-called “dissolved organic carbon.” As usual, the seminar was recorded, and you can watch the video here.
Chalmers’ thematic area Ocean hosts regular breakfast seminars, offering breakfast and insights into exciting new research within the marine and maritime fields. The seminars are streamed live on Chalmers’ YouTube channel, where recordings are always available to watch afterwards.
During the second seminar, researchers Leif Eriksson and Urban Wünsch presented their reseach on how climate change is affecting the Arctic Ocean. Leif Eriksson demonstrated how sea ice movement and deformation can be studied using satellite data and drifting buoys, while Urban Wünsch discussed how dissolved organic material breaks down and is transported as the ice melts.
