Arctic-ICE (Ice-Covered Ecosystem)

The underlying objective of the Arctic-ICE project was to determine the physical-biological processes controlling the timing of primary production and their influence on the drawdown/release of climatically active gases. Landfast ice of Resolute Passage/Allen Bay provided a perfect natural laboratory to study these processes in a high Arctic system. The project was split into the following sub-projects:

1. Physical processes
2. Atmosphere-sea ice fluxes
3. Ice-associated primary producers
4. Microbial processes influencing climatically active gases
5. Contaminant enrichment in melt ponds.

北极-ICE项目的根本目标是确定控制初级生产时间节点的物理-生物过程及其对气候活性气体消耗/释放的影响。在罗索海峡/艾伦湾的固定冰提供了研究这些过程在北极高纬度系统中的理想自然实验室。该项目被划分为以下子项目：

1. 物理过程

2. 大气-海冰通量

3. 与冰相关的初级生产者

4. 影响气候活性气体的微生物过程

5. 溶解池中的污染物富集。
