Sea ice biology/ecology is an ancient and nobel science
04:27
...Antarctic sea ice
04:40
Ice is important for obvious...
04:51
...and it is not just a few
05:07
...and they are there because there is lots to eat
05:50
Supply and Demand
08:31
Space...rather an obvious one
10:08
But for the algae, bacteria and their grazers
12:39
Plants in the oceans
13:33
Many phytoplankton 10s, 100s and even 1000s
14:37
But not all...

additional requirement for nitroget and phosphorous
30:29
Nitrogen a key limitation
31:53
Cycles in the ocean are complex
32:24
But not just nitrogen...
32:40
Even trace metals important...
33:23
Seasonal cycle
34:24
P vs E key to it all
34:36
What initiates the spring bloom
34:39
What initiates a phyloplankton bloom
36:41
Caution...

P vs E key to it all

Sub-surface Chlorophyll layers
44:31
Not just one algae but a succession
45:35
...and so what is this to do with sea ice
46:27
Frozen seawater is a labyrinth of brine filled channels and pores
46:43
And within the labyrinth
47:32
But for the algae, bacteria and their grazers the scales have changed
49:38
how relevant is it for us...
