Climate change is drastically altering the environmental conditions that control the distribution, timing, and magnitude of algal blooms. This is particularly evident in the polar oceans, which are undergoing some of the most severe and rapid change in the world. This dissertation investigates the recent impacts of climate change on primary producers in the Arctic and Southern Oceans, with particular focii on sea ice algae and harmful algal blooms.Chapters 1 and 2 assess the effects of sea ice loss on sea ice algal habitat in the past 34 years in the Arctic and the past 16 years in the Antarctic. These studies were motivated by dramatic patterns in sea ice loss: the Arctic has lost ∼50% of its sea ice extent at a relatively steady rate since 1979, while the Antarctic has seen sudden and precipitous drops in sea ice extent starting in 2016. Using circumpolar remote sensing datasets, a radiative transfer model, and a sea ice growth model, I estimated sea ice suitability as algal habitat. I found that the Arctic has considerably less ice algal habitat than the Antarctic but that both regions featured increases in habitat extent and duration over time. In the Arctic, this increase was driven primarily by enhanced light transmission due to the replacement of multiyear ice with thinner first-year ice with a thinner snow cover. Ice algal habitat in the Antarctic was closely tied to the timing of bottom ice melt, which is thought to terminate the ice algal bloom. The importance of these particular environmental drivers suggest that habitat increases are likely short-lived as the poles continue to warm and sea ice continues to melt.Chapter 3 uses field-based observations to examine the nutrient dynamics supporting a massive harmful algal bloom in 2022 in the Pacific Arctic Ocean, where reportsof the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella have become increasingly frequent in the past 25 years. Because warm waters are required for bloom formation, A. catenella bloom in summer, when surface nitrate is drawn down. To understand how A. catenella thrives in low-nutrient conditions, I measured uptake rates of nitrate, ammonium, urea, and dissolved free amino acids by the phytoplankton community. Both the bulk community and single A. catenella cells exhibited the fastest uptake of urea, which was approximately three times more abundant than other nitrogen forms in surface waters. While previous studies have shown that A. catenella can use a broad range of nitrogen substrates in culture, these findings indicate that A. catenella is primed to leverage the dominant nitrogen substrate in situ.Overall, this dissertation documents the current status of two primary producer groups in the polar oceans and improves predictions of their future responses to continued climate change. Whether it is a mid-century "inflection point" that marks the impending decline of Arctic ice algae or the likely persistence of harmful algal blooms in the Pacific Arctic Ocean given favorable nutrient conditions, my findings trace potential futures for food webs and biogeochemical cycles in the polar oceans.
