Watch Chalmers Ocean's second Breakfast Seminar

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 Ocean’s breakfast seminars highlight ongoing research in the maritime and marine fields. During the second seminar, Professor Leif Eriksson was one of the two presenters.

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.

    Our strong maritime heritage goes back to the establishment of the university. Today, most departments have research, education, and or utilisation related to the marine and maritime domain, contributing to the grand challenges associated with human utilisation of the oceans and marine resources. All in line with the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.

    Watch Chalmers Oceans’ first Breakfast Seminar

    Earlier this autumn, Chalmers Oceans launched its new series of breakfast seminars. Here you can watch a recording of the very first seminar, where researchers Amanda Nylund, Johan Mellqvist and Rickard Bensow present research showing that ship passages can trigger distinct pulses of high methane emissions from the water into the atmosphere. These emissions are often overlooked with today’s measurement methods.
