The role of biota in the Southern Ocean carbon cycle
The Southern Ocean, although relatively understudied owing to its harsh environment and geographical isolation, has been shown to contribute substantially to processes that drive the global carbon cycle. For e...

Open AccessWildfire aerosol deposition likely amplified a summertime Arctic phytoplankton bloom
Summertime wildfire activity is increasing in boreal forest and tundra ecosystems in the Northern Hemisphere. However, the impact of long range transport and deposition of wildfire aerosols on biogeochemical c...

Open AccessMarine snow morphology illuminates the evolution of phytoplankton blooms and determines their subsequent vertical export
The organic carbon produced in the ocean’s surface by phytoplankton is either passed through the food web or exported to the ocean interior as marine snow. The rate and efficiency of such vertical export stron...

Open AccessNeed for focus on microbial species following ice melt and changing freshwater regimes in a Janus Arctic Gateway
Oceanic gateways are sensitive to climate driven processes. By connecting oceans, they have a global influence on marine biological production and biogeochemical cycles. The furthest north of these gateways is...
