Module 5 of the “Frozen in the Ice: Exploring the Arctic” MOOC is: Arctic Biochemistry/Ecosystem
In this module, you will learn about the ecosystems of the Arctic Ocean. We will briefly explore the megafauna, such as polar bears, but then focus the exploration on the importance of the microfauna, such as algae and plankton, and their connections to oceanic nutrient cycles and atmospheric phenomena. The module concludes with an overview of the goals of the MOSAiC Biogeochemistry and Ecosystems research group and the data they are collecting.
“Frozen in the Ice: Exploring the Arctic” is also offered free through Coursera sign up today.
