Nutrients in the Arctic – workshop to increase the links between the four flagship programs in Ny-Ålesund

The project Nutrient cycle – linking the Atmosphere, Terrestrial, Marine and Glaciological flagship programs in Ny-Ålesund will bring together all four Ny-Ålesund flagships to evaluate nutrient fluxes between Kongsfjorden and its surrounding environment – terrestrial, glacier, atmospheric and ocean realms – and how some of these fluxes are expected to change with the ongoing warming trends.  

Over the past two years the project has arranged:  

• Online keynote seminars (October 2020)   
• A one-day workshop in Oslo, 31 Oct 2021. The workshop focused on the two topics: Kongsfjorden net ecosystem metabolism, and Nutrients, carbon and nitrogen in atmosphere, biosphere and soil continuum

Next up coming is a three-days workshop in Orvieto, Italy 20.-22. Sept 2022.
