Speaker: Dorte Krause-Jensen is a professor in marine ecology at the Department of Ecoscience, Aarhus University, Denmark. Her research focuses on the ecology of coastal and marine vegetated ecosystems, particularly seagrass meadows and macroalgal forests.
Abstract: The webinar addresses Arctic macroalgae, particularly habitat-forming brown macroalgae such as fucoids and kelps, and their potential to contribute to carbon sequestration in the Arctic via export to carbon sink beyond the coastal habitats.

This webinar is part of the webinar series: Blue Carbon & Biodiversity in the Arctic: A joint SEA-Quester and POMP webinar series
The POMP and SEA-Quester projects are funded under the same call topic (HORIZON-CL6-2023-CLIMATE-01-3: Ocean and coastal waters carbon- and biodiversity-rich ecosystems and habitats in Europe and the Polar Regions). By coming together, both projects aim to amplify the impact of each project to share progress, promote collaboration, and advocate for an improved knowledge on polar blue carbon and biodiversity. The two projects will work together to complement each other towards common goals through joint initiatives such as a webinar series.
