Recent observations of Antarctic sea‐ice
Antarctic sea-ice is potentially one of the most sensitive global warming indicators. Some re- cent studies using coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation models suggest that C0,- induced warming and concomitant sea-ice re- duction might be less marked than in the Arctic (Gordon and O’Farrell 1997); certainly the ...

ABSTRACT Fragilariopsis cylindrus is a key diatom in the Southern Ocean, where low iron and manganese availability constrain primary production and biogeochemical activity. The molecular mechanisms used by polar diatoms, including F. cylindrus, to cope with trace metal limitations remain largely unexplored.

Abstract Shipboard gravity anomaly data provide high‐resolution information for a wide range of Earth and ocean science research as well as ground‐truthing US national geodetic modeling. Motivated by the end of life‐cycle for legacy Bell aerospace marine Gravity Meter system (BGM‐3) gravimeters onboard vessels in the U.S. Academic Research Fleet, a new

Snow Cover Impacts on Antarctic Sea ice
Snow on Antarctic sea ice has tremendous impacts on Albedo, light transmission and sea ice mass balance. Snow Buoys (Nicolaus et al., 2021) measure snow accumu- lation over time with four ultra sonic sensors. Here we present 14 Snow Buoys which were deployed in the Wed- dell Sea since 2013.

A Sea‐Ice‐Enhanced KPP Parameterization: Impacts on AMOC Simulation and Physical Pathways
Abstract This study presents a sea‐ice‐enhanced K‐profile parameterization to improve simulations of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) in ocean–sea ice coupled models. The modified KPP dynamically scales the background vertical diffusivity with local sea‐ice fraction, representing the insulating and turbulence‐suppressing effects ...

Abstract Dendritic valley networks on Mars have been cited as evidence for a warm and wet Noachian Mars, permitting rainfall precipitation and surface runoff. However, the climatic conditions required to sustain rainfall on early Mars remain debated.

Abstract Climate change is currently driving the expansion of oxygen minimum zones (OMZs), areas of the open ocean with consistently low oxygen levels. Changes in temperature, productivity and consequent respiration, and water mass ventilation drive OMZ expansion and contraction with implications for ecosystem function and biogeochemical cycling ...

Abstract Climate change, including ozone depletion, has altered wind regimes around Antarctica in recent decades, intensifying environmental stress on coastal moss communities. However, the physiological impacts of wind on mosses remain poorly understood. This study explored the potential climatic drivers of wind speed (WS) changes and investigated the

Microplastic Impacts on Seafood: A Global Synthesis of Experimental Findings
ABSTRACT Plastic pollution is a growing global concern, with plastic and microplastic particles now widespread in aquatic environments. Microplastics are frequently ingested by marine organisms, including commercially important seafood species. Ingestion can lead to a range of biological effects, influenced by the size, type and quantity of plastic, as
