Researchers crack the ice to study the Arctic marine food web
Science NationScientists traveled to a town near the top of the world to study a creature at the bottom of the marine food chain--microscopic sea ice algae. Welcome to Barrow, Alaska, where a team of marine ecologists gears up to hit the sea ice--desolate terrain that is actually teaming with marine life. With support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), Craig Aumack of Columbia University and a team have come here to investigate how algae in the sea ice contributes to the underlying marine ecosystems, and which marine organisms depend on the algae for nutrition.
