Dynamics of legacy and emerging pollutants in fjord ecosystems of the high Arctic: Svalbard (Norway) and NE Greenland
Introduction: Recent climate changes are much faster than previous long-term ones, causing stress on polar marine ecosystems resulting in changes in atmosphere/ocean exchanges, ocean properties, sea ice cover and thickness. These phenomena, associated to anthropogenic emissions, are triggering shift...

Introduction: Recent climate changes are much faster than previous long-term ones, causing stress on polar marine ecosystems resulting in changes in atmosphere/ocean exchanges, ocean properties, sea ice cover and thickness. These phenomena, associated to anthropogenic emissions, are triggering shifts in global biogeochemical cycles and marine ecosystem. Consequently, ecosystems are rapidly changing. The polar oceans are the final sink for many semi-volatile organic contaminants, which thanks to the atmospheric transport and to the cold condensation concentrate in these areas. The decrease of sea ice, as well as the presence of snow and the mechanism of ice formation/melting, can have a big impact on the carbon cycle, on the mobility of contaminants and on biodiversity loss.
