Within the Arctic Marine System Ecology (AMSE) research group at UiT, the iSI-Bio Laboratory works with more than ten cultures of sea ice algae. Here, scientists test algal responses to environmental change under controlled experimental conditions using a variety of methodologies, including 14C & O2-based tracers. To support this work, iSI-Bio makes use of specialized clean lab and cold-room (+4 to -20°C) facilities.
