We compare and contrast the ecological impacts of atmospheric and oceanic circulation
patterns on polar and sub-polar marine ecosystems. Circulation patterns differ strikingly …

Climate change triggers poleward shifts in species distribution leading to changes in
biogeography. In the marine environment, fish respond quickly to warming, causing …

Over the past decade or so, international research efforts, many of which were part of the
International Polar Year, have accrued our understanding of the Arctic outflow shelves. The …

We examined the ability of foraminifera in taking up freshly deposited algal carbon in
intertidal estuarine sediments. Lyophylized 13 C-labelled axenic Chlorella was added to …

Food web structure and pathways from primary production were studied in pelagic,
sympagic (ice-associated) and benthic communities during summer in a seasonally ice …

Stable isotope and fatty acid trophic markers (FATMs) were used to assess carbon flow and
trophic structures of sympagic, pelagic and benthic communities in high-Arctic Svalbard …

The West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) shelf experiences a highly seasonal flux of particulate
organic carbon following the retreat of winter sea ice, which results in deposition of labile …

The food-web structure of the Arctic deep Canada Basin was investigated in summer 2002
using carbon and nitrogen stable isotope tracers. Overall food-web length of the range of …

Understanding pathways of carbon cycling on Arctic shelves is critical if we are to evaluate
the potential effects of climate change on these systems. We investigated the relationship …

Benthos plays a significant role as substrate, refuge from predation and food for a wide
variety of fish and invertebrates of all life stages and should therefore be considered in the …
