The meeting was organized to share knowledge and create connections between the disciplines that are studied in the different components of the Arctic ecosystem (atmosphere, cryosphere, terrestrial and marine biosphere).
In particular, on the last day the participants discussed how to converge their knowledge in two shared publications. One focused on the Net Ecosystem Metabolism of the Kongsfjorden, with the aim to evaluate the fjord's ability to act as a source or sink for Nutrients. The second, on the stable isotope analysis approach, used for different aspects of the nutrient cycle in order to evaluate their potential in the Arctic environment and in Ny-Ålesund, specifically.
