Large Arctic rivers transport substantial amounts of freshwater, carbon (C), and nutrients from land to the Arctic Ocean and play an important role in continental-ocean biogeochemical coupling. Althou...
Deep-sea mining in polymetallic nodule areas poses significant risks to the marine carbon sink. This study investigated the vertical distribution and three-dimensional fluorescence spectral characteri...
Since the year 2000, oceanic research has seen a surge in data collection, with approximately 500,000 sets of measurements for a single variable (e.g., temperature) recorded annually. Yet, further adv...
"Rotten" sea ice, ice in an advanced stage of melt, represents an important but understudied habitat in the rapidly changing Arctic. As Arctic warming accelerates, this late-season ice type will becom...
Antarctic glacial bays are important, productive regions of the Southern Ocean. Certain glacial bays, including our research area, Admiralty Bay, are less favorable for phytoplankton growth due to win...
By tracking the water mass histories of genetic samples, we investigated the biophysical dynamics shaping eukaryotic phytoplankton populations in a nutrient-deplete subtropical gyre, where cyanobacter...
Trace elements occur naturally in the environment, but anthropogenic activities can amplify their release, increasing exposure and bioaccumulation in marine predators such as seabirds. Mercury (Hg) in...
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...
Earth observation satellites transform our understanding of Earth's biological, atmospheric, and surface systems. The Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission, launched in 2024, repres...
Marine microorganisms are vital to biogeochemical cycles and food web dynamics, with their community structure shaped by environmental factors such as temperature, light, and salinity. While microbial...
Photosynthetic microorganisms are responsible for primary production at the base of the marine food web and influence global biogeochemistry. Their growth is balanced by mortality processes, including...
