A scientific article written by Kazuki Tanaka, who completed his MSc at Graduate School of Environmental Science, Hokkaido University, has been published in Scientific Reports.
Mr. Tanaka and his supervisor, Dr. Youhei Yamashita (Associate Professor of Graduate School of Environmental Science) conducted a survey on dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the southern Chukchi Sea, together with several faculty members of ARC-HU, during the research cruise of T/S Oshoro-Maru in 2013. This study clarifies that conservative mixing, rather than local production and degradation, was an important factor controlling the DOM distribution in the surface waters of the Chukchi Sea during the early summer.
This research was partially supported by the Green Network of Excellence Program (GRENE Program), the Arctic Challenge for Sustainability (ArCS) Project, the Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Innovative Areas, New Ocean Paradigm on Its Biogeochemistry, Ecosystem and Sustainable Use, and the Grant for Joint Research Program of the Institute of Low Temperature Science, Hokkaido University.
