Increased Ice Thinning over Svalbard Measured by ICESat/ICESat-2 Laser Altimetry
Remote Sensing, 2021 A decade-long pronounced increase in temperatures in the Arctic, especially in the Barents Sea region, resulted in a global warming hotspot over Svalbard. Associated changes in the cryosphere are the consequence and lead to a demand for monitoring of the

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Biofluorescence is widespread among marine fish but remains poorly documented in polar ecosystems. Using hyperspectral imaging, we report fluorescent emissions in two polar zoarcid eelpouts. A captive Antarctic eelpout (Pachycara brachycephalum) displayed uniform bright green fluorescence (~500–520 nm), whereas an Arctic eelpout (Lycodes ...

The Greenland–Scotland Ridge in a Changing Ocean: Time to Act?
Marine Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Greenland–Scotland Ridge is a submarine mountain that rises up to 500 m below the sea surface and extends from the east coast of Greenland to the continental shelf of Iceland and across the Faroe Islands to Scotland. The ridge not only separates deeper ocean basins on either side, that is, the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans, but also ...
