Giant Antarctic iceberg calving is projected to increase with climate change, affecting ocean circulation, nutrient supply, and carbon cycling. These icebergs can stimulate primary production and infl...
At the subantarctic islands of South Georgia, albatrosses and petrels occupy a range of trophic niches, from zooplanktivore to top predator. Interspecific variation in mercury (Hg) contamination is th...
Here, we review scientific advances based on the second decade of Global Ocean Ship-Based Hydrographic Investigations Program (GO-SHIP) repeat hydrographic observations, collected between 2014 and 202...
Solar-driven natural seawater overall splitting presents a paradigm-shifting solution for hydrogen production to achieve global decarbonization. Herein, we present a noble-metal-free MnOx(OH)y/GaN nan...
Today, the sea ice cover is rapidly declining in the Arctic Ocean. While major changes in the Arctic marine ecosystems are starting to appear, the full implication of a changing Arctic ecosystem is no...
Microplastics (MPs) have emerged as pervasive contaminants in marine ecosystems, posing escalating ecotoxicological risks across trophic levels. This review highlights the current knowledge on the sou...
The 2016 El Niño was the strongest warm-phase of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation recorded to date over the 21st century, leading to the development of severe ocean surface temperature anomalies - mar...
There is a common misconception among ocean scientists and policy makers that mesopelagic (200-1000 m) food webs are an unexploited "final frontier" of living marine resources. It is true that there a...
Urban populations in early modern to modern Japan depended strongly on rice and marine fish, raising the question of whether such apparently simple diets provided sufficient mineral availability in ev...
Stenotrophomonas sp. strain WO2 was isolated from deep-sea sediments at the Haima cold seep (South China Sea) using crude oil as the sole carbon source. The draft genome contains 4,772,190 bp with a G...
Ammonium availability may alter microbial access to persistent dissolved organic matter (DOM), but the response capacity of indigenous deep-water microbial communities remains poorly constrained. We u...
The ocean carbon cycle spans multiple scales and reservoirs, challenging efforts to build a coherent picture and fostering misconceptions or fragmented narratives in science and public discourse. Comm...
The Central Arctic Ocean is undergoing rapid environmental change associated with sea-ice retreat. The sea-ice bottom and adjacent under-ice waters are key zones for particulate organic matter (POM) a...
Marine oil spills are globally widespread, posing significant threats to marine wildlife. While the spatial and temporal distribution of oil concentrations in the environment can be modeled with high ...
The anaerobic oxidation of methane and higher C2+ alkanes is a dominant metabolism within hydrocarbon-rich deep-sea sediments and is largely mediated by alkane-oxidizing archaea in metabolic partnersh...
The subseafloor biosphere is one of the largest ecosystems on Earth, hosting dense populations of microbial cells. Microbial activity is critical to the Earth's geochemical cycles of major elements su...
Deep-sea hydrothermal sediments represent critical zones for archaea-driven biogeochemical cycling, yet the ecological differentiation of archaeal communities across hydrothermal gradients remains poo...
Benthic prokaryotic communities in deep-sea sediments remain poorly studied. They are constrained by organic matter availability and oxygenation in warm deep-sea ecosystems. Here, we investigated bent...
The Gulf Stream is important for the climate system through its transport and air-sea exchange of heat. What is less well accepted is the role of the Gulf Stream in the carbon cycle. Here we examine h...
The Arctic and sub-Arctic are warming at least three times faster than the global average, altering terrestrial carbon delivery to the oceans and marine carbon cycling. The sequestration of such carbo...
