Caption
As novel marine ecosystems emerge in high latitude seas, primarily due to reduced sea-ice coverage and changes in species distribution (i.e. as macroalgae like kelp expand poleward), these changes are hypothesized to enhance the natural environments capacity to store carbon. SEA-Quester aims to test this hypothesis by examining carbon cycling processes along coastal margins, within shelf areas, and the pelagic or open ocean, as well as the pathways between them and cross-shelf exchange.
