### Areas of Research

**Air-sea interactions in the Arctic**\
Exchange of greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4) between atmosphere and ocean/sea ice surfaces, energy balance of sea ice.

**Arctic marine carbon cycles**\
Biogeochemical cycles of CO2 in Arctic seas, ocean acidification, focus on the role of sea ice, cycling of CO2 between ocean and atmosphere.

**Remote sensing of Arctic marine environments**\
Remote sensing of biogeochemical processes, remote sensing of sea ice

**Arctic marine ecosystems**\
Impacts of acidification/pollution on key resource species (e.g. Arctic Char), links between lower trophic levels (primary producers) and marine carbonate system cycles

**Improved weather observations for Arctic operations**\
Autonomous real-time weather stations, community based monitoring
