• Arctic continental slopes sharp gradients of physical processes affect pelagic and benthic ecosystems. 

      Bluhm, Bodil; Janout, Markus; Danielson, Seth L.; Ellingsen, Ingrid H.; Gavrilo, Maria; Grebmeier, Jaqueline; Hopcroft, Russell R.; Iken, Katrin; Ingvaldsen, Randi Brunvær; Jørgensen, Lis Lindal; Kosobokova, Ksenia N.; Kwok, Ron; Polyakov, Igor V.; Renaud, Paul E.; Carmack, Eddy C. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Continental slopes – steep regions between the shelf break and abyssal ocean – play key roles in the climatology and ecology of the Arctic Ocean. Here, through review and synthesis, we find that the narrow slope regions ...
    • Borealization of the Arctic Ocean in response to anomalous advection from sub-Arctic seas. 

      Polyakov, Igor V.; Alkire, Mattew; Bluhm, Bodil; Brown, Kristina; Carmack, Eddy C.; Chierici, Melissa; Danielson, Seth L.; Ellingsen, Ingrid H.; Ershova, Elizaveta; Gardfeldt, Katrin; Ingvaldsen, Randi Brunvær; Pnyushkov, Andrey V.; Slagstad, Dag; Wassmann, Paul (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      An important yet still not well documented aspect of recent changes in the Arctic Ocean is associated with the advection of anomalous sub-Arctic Atlantic- and Pacific-origin waters and biota into the polar basins, a process ...
    • Overexploitation, Recovery, and Warming of the Barents Sea Ecosystem During 1950–2013 

      Pedersen, Torstein; Mikkelsen, Nina; Lindstrøm, Ulf; Renaud, Paul Eric; Nascimento, Marcela C.; Blanchet, Marie-Anne; Ellingsen, Ingrid H.; Jørgensen, Lis L.; Blanchet, Hugues (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      The Barents Sea (BS) is a high-latitude shelf ecosystem with important fisheries, high and historically variable harvesting pressure, and ongoing high variability in climatic conditions. To quantify carbon flow pathways ...
    • Patterns and drivers of megabenthic secondary production on the Barents Sea shelf 

      Degen, Renate; Jørgensen, Lis Lindal; Ljubin, Pavel; Ellingsen, Ingrid H.; Pehlke, Hendrik; Brey, Thomas (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-03-21)
      Megabenthos plays a major role in the overall energy flow on Arctic shelves, but information on megabenthic secondary production on large spatial scales is scarce. Here, we estimated for the first time megabenthic secondary ...
    • Valuing blue carbon changes in the Arctic ocean 

      Armstrong, Claire W.; Foley, Naomi; Slagstad, Dag; Chierici, Melissa; Ellingsen, Ingrid H.; Reigstad, Marit (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      The ocean capacity to store carbon is crucial, and currently absorbs about 25% CO2 supply to the atmosphere. The ability to store carbon has an economic value, but such estimates are not common for ocean environments, and ...
