Congratulations to Tom Longbahn (UIB) for winning a Starting Grant from the Trond Mohn Research Foundation for a 4-year project titled "DRIFT - Systematically Rethinking Advection and Cross-Ecosystem Subsidies".  

This project aims to understand how the advection of mesopelagic biomass creates feeding hotspots along slopes, seamounts, and shelves, and how it structures production, life-history strategies, and species distributions in the receiving systems.
