The Arctic Ocean is (currently) a remarkably quiet place, as the presence of sea-ice isolates the ocean from the mixing effects of wind. In this interdisciplinary project, we examine how the upper Arctic may change if sea-ice retreat increases. We use observations and models to study Arctic mixed layer depths, internal wave energy, and the mixing of nutrients into the photic zone, with particular interest on impacts on Arctic ecosystems.
