SEA-Quester

Investigating marine carbon cycling in emering polar sea ecosystems


SEA-Quester is investigating marine carbon cycling in novel ecosystems in the polar seas that are emerging due to climate change. Melting sea ice, changing currents, and a warmer ocean are already changing species distribution, behavior, and metabolism. How these will further impact marine biodiversity and ecosystem functions and services, like carbon sequestration, in the polar seas is poorly understood. However, this potentially has large consequences for meeting biodiversity and climate change mitigation targets. SEA-Quester received funding under Grant Agreement No: 101136480.
