Annelie Skoog skoog@uconn.edu

Organization: University of Connecticut

Department: Department of Marine Sciences

Title: Assistant Professor

Specialties: biogeochemistry

Current Research: Dissolved organic material (DOM) in the Arctic ocean has the highest concentration in any ocean basin, and is potentially an important factor in supporting the net heterotrophic open ocean in the Arctic. However, this DOM is mostly unknown on the molecular level. As a part of the NSF supported Shelf-Basin Interaction program, our group does molecular level studies of DOM in the Arctic Ocean with the following goals: -determine whether the high DOC concentrations in the Arctic Ocean include a higher concentration of biologically labile components than are found in other oceans. -determine the relative biological lability of DOM from riverine inputs to the Arctic Ocean and compare that to relative lability of DOM formed in situ. -determine which biologically labile compounds in the Arctic have detectable concentrations, in order to carry out flux studies on a molecular level to calculate a reasonable heterotrophic incorporation efficiency for the Arctic Ocean during phase II of the SBI effort.

Barry Smit bsmit@uoguelph.ca

Organization: University of Guelph

Department: Geography Department

Title: Professor

Specialties: climate change, Inuit, community sustainability

Current Research: My research focuses on human vulnerability to environmental change (including climate change). The focus is primarily on indigenous peoples (current work on Inuit in the Canadian High Arctic and the Canadian western Arctic). Research examines human adaptive capacity, including current/past adaptation measures and past/current/future environmental/climate exposures to 1) assess current/future vulnerability; 2) integrate indigenous knowledge into science and policymaking.
