Zooplankton from space would be a game changer
About Us
Lofoten Research is a collaboration of international research projects deploying new technologies and modeling to answer long standing questions in marine ecosystem. Our team of international scientists is working together to understand biophysical, biogeochemical, and ecological interactions in one of the most productive ecosystems of the world - the Lofoten-Vesterålen marine ecosystem - and beyond.
OUR PROJECTS
STRESSOR
A Norwegian-Chinese collaborative research project in which we look at mesoscale eddies, copepods and more
SEA PATCHES
An international research project looking at aggregation mechanisms of plankton
GONAD
An international research project that looks at the new generation of the copepod Calanus finmarchicus
SFI HARVEST
Lofoten Research is a contributing partner responsible for ecosystem knowledge in the SFI Harvest project
Our research embraces non-invasive sampling methods to collect data and observations in near real-time with minimal disturbances to marine life. We use gliders, LOPC, satellite images, modeling, particle modeling, autonomous vehicles, and acoustics in our research.
Lofoten Research is based at UiT - The Arctic University of Norway
and is part of the Arctic Marine Ecosystem Research Network (ARCTOS)
