Predicting potential Arctic kelp distribution and lower‐depth biomass from seafloor irradiance
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Kelps have an extensive distribution in Arctic coastal waters. However, quantifying their role in the Arctic food web and carbon cycle is challenged by the scarcity of documented geographical distribution, standing stocks and production. Here we present a framework based on an empirical function to predict the potential kelp distribution and ...

Development of a moored radium in situ sampler to measure annual time series
Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Radium is a useful tracer of sediment‐derived materials, improving our understanding of the geochemical cycling of elements at ocean boundaries. We have developed an autonomous in situ sampler to collect time series samples of radium isotopes on mooring deployments.

Vegetable Oil–Mediated Transesterification as a Green Route to Tune Ethyl Cellulose Properties
Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.An environmentally conscious strategy for augmenting the hydrophobicity of ethyl cellulose polymer via a transesterification reaction using renewable vegetable oil. ABSTRACT The inherent hydrophilicity of biopolymers presents significant limitations to their implementation, particularly in coating and packaging applications.

Thermodynamic and microphysical properties of summertime marine fog observed from Sable Island
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Atmospheric profiling and near‐surface fog and visibility measurements revealed synoptic‐scale forcing as the dominant factor in fog formation over Sable Island, with deep fog layers under low‐pressure systems and shallow fog layers under high‐pressure systems.

Enabling Under Ice Glider Operations: A Backseat Driver Approach
Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Polar Oceans are key locations for forcing global ocean circulation, influencing both global climate and biogeochemical cycles. Due to restricted access to these seasonally and perennially ice‐covered regions, these areas are severely undersampled.
