- Abstract:
- As part of a collaborative project with partners from Belgium and Germany it is proposed to use an EU funded large-scale facility ice tank to study the biology and chemistry of sea ice. The ice tank allows the realistic formation of sea ice, and so is an ideal tool with which to study temporal processes in sea ice that would otherwise be too expensive or non-tenable due to logistical difficulties. The changes in sea ice chemistry during abiotic ice formation and consolidation will be compared to changes observed when ice diatoms are incorporated and grow in the ice. In particular the Bangor team will investigate how POC, DOC and stable isotopic composition of sea ice diatoms change in response to environmental factors. The results will be compared with relevant field data collected in Antarctica during previous NERC funded research.
