A 20-year perspective of dissolved organic matter distribution in the Arctic Ocean — NSF Award to Texas A&M University (TX, $648,4
The Arctic atmosphere has been warming 3-4 times faster than the rest of the planet and receives large amounts of river freshwater from the watersheds surrounding the Arctic Ocean. This study is mapping the distribution of freshwater and its organic matter content in the Arctic Ocean with unprecedented spatial detail.

| Abstract | The Arctic atmosphere has been warming 3-4 times faster than the rest of the planet and receives large amounts of river freshwater from the watersheds surrounding the Arctic Ocean. This study is mapping the distribution of freshwater and its organic matter content in the Arctic Ocean with unprecedented spatial detail. In addition, the new data set is being compared to historical data collected by the researchers in 2005 and 2015 to create a 20-year perspective for these observations. Combining t |
