Title: Arctic benthos: its role for biodiversity and carbon cycling
Abstract: The webinar will present insights on patterns and functional roles of Arctic seafloor fauna from a suite of recent and ongoing pan-Arctic activities and regional case studies.
Bodil Bluhm is a professor in Arctic marine ecology at UiT The Arctic University of Norway at the Dept. of Arctic and Marine Biology. She got her academic training at the Inst. of Polar Ecology at Kiel University and Alfred Wegener Institute in Germany and subsequently worked at the College of Fisheries and Ocean Science at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Her research focus is on benthic taxonomic and functional diversity, food webs, and benthic- pelagic coupling in the marine Arctic.
