Understanding polar fjords through community effort
FjordPhyto is a collaborative project between scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography and Universidad Nacional de la Plata working together with Antarctic Tour Operators, Polar Guides, and Travelers visiting the Antarctic Peninsula.
Every year, ocean measurements and phytoplankton samples are collected from the antarctic coast to monitor how melting glaciers influence phytoplankton populations.
This project was supported in part by the NASA’s Citizen Science for Earth Systems Program (CSESP) award from 2021-2025 (80NSSC21K0856 and 80NSSC22K1914), NASA's SCoPE Seed Grant Program Awards from 2021-2025 and the National Science Foundation Public Participation in STEM Research (PPSR) extension to NSF award from 2017-2018 (PLR-1443705), as well as from a grant award from Hurtigruten Foundation (2019), and from generous donors (2019).
