Scientists checking the mesocosms off the coast of Svalbard

Researchers check the ‘mesocosms’, eight-metre long floatation frames carrying plastic bags with a capacity of 50 cubic metres, deployed for a five-week long field study on ocean acidification conducted in the Kongsfjord off the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard. The results are published in the EGU open access journal Biogeosciences. (This image is free to use but attribution is required.)
