OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Warming of the Arctic is altering the physical environment, reducing sea ice cover and melting glaciers at unprecedented rates. The response of primary productivity by phytoplankton to enhanced light availability or increased glacial inflow will hinge on the availability of nutrient resources, especially nitrogen. Here, I will summarise our findings from the Changing Arctic Ocean programme on nutrient dynamics, cleaned from analysis of historical data sets and stable nitrogen isotopes. I will introduce new observations on the occurrence of marine nitrogen fixation in the cold Arctic Ocean and discuss implications for the future Arctic ecosystem.
