I will study the drivers of the timing, biomass, and community structure<br \/>\nof the bloom, which requires high frequency sampling due to spring blooms often changing within days or weeks.<br \/>\nAlso spatially, blooms can be very dynamic due to local differences in currents. In Godth\u00e5bsfjorden, the Coriolis<br \/>\nforce can lead to a higher outflow at the Northern site and a higher inflow at the Southern side of the fjord, which<br \/>\nrequires transect sampling across the fjord to quantify the bloom accurately. I will combine field work and<br \/>\nexperiments to determine when a spring bloom is dominated by the flagellate Phaeocystis, which is often a poor<br \/>\nfood source for higher trophic levels, and when the bloom is dominated by chain-forming diatoms, which are highly<br \/>\nnutritious for grazers. The high-resolution sampling in combination with historical data from the marine Monitoring<br \/>\nstation will allow to understand the dynamics and their drivers in great detail and to identify and discuss trends in a<br \/>\nchanging climate.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Methods of inclusion of society and dissemination to society:<br \/>\n<\/strong>The project will be integrated in the graduate course \u201cArctic marine ecosystems in a changing climate\u201d, part of the<br \/>\n\u201cArctic Science Study Programme (ASSP)\u201d offered at the Greenland Institute for Natural Resources (GINR) in<br \/>\ncollaboration with the Aarhus University (AU). The students will be directly involved in part of the field and lab work,<br \/>\nfinishing with student reports in the end of the course.<\/p>\n<p>The results and field work will mainly be disseminated to the community via the GINR channels (website, social<br \/>\nmedia). In addition, we will be accompanied by Ondrej Nowak, a radio journalist from the \u201cCzech Radio\u201d, who<br \/>\nalready successfully broadcasted a program from our earlier work on Svalbard. The results will furthermore be<br \/>\ndisseminated at the Greenland Science Week (Nuuk) and the Cultural Night (Nuuk).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Project start and completion date: <\/strong>01\/05\/2022
