Abstract The Rio Grande Rise (RGR) is a major submarine feature in the South Atlantic that plays an important role in regional oceanographic dynamics. This study presents new U‐Pb geochronology of sedimentary rocks from the RGR, offering direct age constraints on carbonate and apatite embedded within Fe‐Mn crusts and associated foraminifera fossils ...

Abstract Rayleigh‐Taylor instabilities within the upper mantle are investigated as a mechanism for the uplift of rift‐margin mountain ranges within the continents. Our focus is on the Transantarctic Mountains (TAM). These mountains form at the margin between East and West Antarctica and have been free from the effects of subduction for about 500 ...

Mechanisms Driving the Extensive Antarctic Bottom Water in the Glacial Atlantic
Paleo‐proxy data indicate that during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), the volume of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) in the Atlantic was nearly four times greater than it is today.

Abstract The Ross Sea continental shelf plays a key role in the global carbon cycle. However, the sources and cycling of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the region are poorly understood. Here, we determined the radiocarbon (14C) and stable carbon isotope (13C) contents of DOC in addition to those of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in the Little ...

Abstract Snow on Antarctic sea ice modulates albedo, thermodynamic growth, and snow–ice formation, yet remains a leading uncertainty in altimetry‐derived sea‐ice thickness. Here we use the post‐2022 CRYO2ICE configuration to derive along‐track winter snow thickness from ICESat‐2 laser and CryoSat‐2 Ku‐band radar freeboards over the Weddell and Ross ...

Antarctic Dense Water Formation Sensitivity to Ocean Surface Cell Thickness
Dense water formation on the Antarctic continental shelf is the main process by which Antarctic Bottom Waters form and is fundamental to the abyssal overturning circulation.

Abstract Fjords are globally significant sedimentary archives that record the relationship between glacial, tectonic, and marine processes. Fiordland, on the southwest coast of New Zealand, hosts one of the most extensive temperate fjord provinces in the Southern Hemisphere, yet its postglacial evolution has remained poorly constrained.

Abstract Oxygen (O2) is essential for almost all life on Earth, but O2 concentrations are rapidly declining in the oceans under global warming, stressing marine ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles. Numerical model simulations suggest greatly expanded North Atlantic Oxygen Minimum Zones (OMZs) under warm Pliocene conditions, but sparse data limit ...

Winter thermohaline evolution along and below the Ross Ice Shelf
The Ross Ice Shelf floats above the southern sector of the Ross Sea and creates a cavity where critical ocean-ice interactions take place. Crucial processes occurring in this cavity include the formation of Ice Shelf Water, the coldest ocean water, and ...

Vibrio communities shape carbenicillinase diversity in European coasts. Sediments serve as reservoirs of antibiotic‐resistant Vibrio alginolyticus, which can move into the water column and accumulate in bivalves. This spreads β‐lactamase resistance and raises human exposure risks to antibiotic‐resistant pathogenic Vibrio, especially as higher seawater ...
