On board the research vessel R/V Skagerak, scientist Isaac Santos' team has been investigating how meltwater affects ocean chemistry and can accelerate ocean acidification.

Through careful measurements, both at sea and on land, we will gain insight into how carbon and nutrients are spread and what it means for the ecosystem of the future. Welcome to an inspiring talk about the dramatic changes in the Arctic – and how they affect us all.
