POLARIN has published a new Ambassador visual story titled Arctic Carbon Cycling: Linking terrestrial and aquatic systems (ARC-LINK) developed by Cheristy Jones, POLARIN Ambassador, PhD Candidate, Earth and Environmental Science, University of New Hampshire.  

For the ARC-LINK project, Cheristy travelled from Boston, USA to Zackenberg, Greenland to study how carbon and nutrients move through permafrost catchments, compare glacial and non-glacial systems at high spatial resolution and how aquatic carbon connects to CO₂ and CH₄ emissions.

Through her photographs and reflections, Cheristy travels us to Greenland to witness permafrost thaw, Arctic flora and fauna.

ARC-LINK was one of the projects successfully selected through POLARIN’s first call for Transnational Access to Polar Research Infrastructures.
