About

Arunima Sen is a polar marine ecologist whose research focuses on the intricate relationships between sea ice, oceanography, and benthic ecosystems in the Arctic. Her major contributions center on understanding how seasonal and interannual variability in ice cover and water column processes shape the structure and function of seafloor communities. Through her work on the Nansen Legacy project, Sen has helped illuminate the cascading effects of climate change on Arctic marine food webs, from ice algae to benthic invertebrates. Her most cited study, "Seasonal cruise Q2 2021" (2022, 4 citations), documents a critical spring sampling campaign along a standardized transect, capturing the transition from ice-covered to open-water conditions and its impact on physical, biological, and chemical parameters. While her citation count is still growing, Sen’s work is foundational for understanding the rapidly changing Arctic ecosystem. She is recognized for her interdisciplinary approach, bridging oceanography and ecology to predict how benthic communities will respond to diminishing sea ice. Her research is essential for students and scientists tracking the ecological consequences of polar warming.
