Abstract The standing meanders of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current are key sites of mixing and meridional transport in the Southern Ocean, but their long‐term variability and trends remain poorly understood. Here, we investigate the Pacific‐Antarctic Ridge meander using satellite altimetry data from 1993 to 2023.

Antarctic bottom water flow through the Vema fracture zone [PDF]
During the October-November 1977 R/V "Jean Charcot" cruise, bathymetric and hydrological surveys of the Eastern Vema Fracture Zone were carried out in order to moor current meters on the silliocated in the area, with the aim of evaluating the bottom water flow through this passage in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Seasonal Changes in Marine Archaeal Tetraether Lipid Export Depth Linked to Net Primary Productivity
Abstract Marine ammonia oxidizing archaea (AOA) produce isoprenoid glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) which form the basis of seawater temperature proxy TEX86. Although most studies use TEX86 for sea surface temperature (SST) reconstructions, maximum GDGT production occurs at and below the nitracline. Moreover, sedimentary GDGT‐2/GDGT‐3

Abstract Dense shelf water (DSW) formed on Antarctica's continental shelves is a significant precursor for Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW), a critical component of global overturning circulation. We hypothesize that DSW cascades off the central Ross Sea shelf generated density currents that entrained sediment as they flowed down Hillary Canyon, resulting

Pliocene–Pleistocene Redox Evolution of the Peruvian Margin: A Multi‐Proxy Approach
Abstract Due to upwelling of nutrient‐rich waters, the Peruvian Margin is one of the most productive regions of the global ocean, hosting one of the most pronounced and shallowest oxygen minimum zones. This combination of high productivity and low oxygen makes the Peruvian margin a critical site for reconstructing past environmental changes.

We evaluated whether predators ‘kill the winner’ wherein protists and phages preferentially impact the most abundant members of bacterial assemblages over an austral summer with weekly dilution experiments. Seawater from 10 m was divided into two serial dilutions with either 0.2 μm (to evaluate protist grazing) or 30 kDa (to evaluate protist grazing ...

Abstract Amid increasing anthropogenic pressures on ecosystems, standardised biodiversity monitoring is critical for assessing biodiversity change. Marine hard‐bottom habitats, though ubiquitous and biodiverse, present challenges for biodiversity monitoring due to their complex structure and limited accessibility. Autonomous reef monitoring structures (

ABSTRACT Mass mortality events (MMEs) have been occurring since the dawn of time. However, in contrast to terrestrial events, most marine MMEs remain undetected, largely due to the inaccessibility of many marine environments. One of the most notorious and best‐studied marine MMEs in modern times is that of the population collapse of the echinoid ...
