2023 Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5841.
The overall objective of this project is to determine the impact of changing land-ocean matter fluxes and coastal subsea permafrost on nearshore ecosystems and biodiversity in the Beaufort Sea. To reveal the trajectory of coastal habitats, it is critical to
(1) determine how fluvial and coastal fluxes from the land...
