Climate change is fundamentally altering marine and coastal ecosystems on a global scale.
While the effects of ocean warming and acidification on ecology and ecosystem functions …

Abstract Changes in the Arctic atmosphere, cryosphere and Ocean are drastically altering
the dynamics of phytoplankton, the base of marine ecosystems. This Review addresses four …

The decline of sea-ice thickness, area, and volume due to the transition from multi-year to
first-year sea ice has improved the under-ice light environment for pelagic Arctic …

Phytoplankton blooms in the Barents Sea are highly sensitive to seasonal and interannual
changes in sea ice extent, water mass distribution, and oceanic fronts. With the ongoing …

Polar marine ecosystems are characterized by low water temperatures, sea ice cover, and
extreme annual variation in solar irradiance and primary productivity. A review of the …

Dimethylsulfide (DMS), a gas produced by marine microbial food webs, promotes aerosol
formation in pristine atmospheres, altering cloud radiative forcing and precipitation. Recent …

The contiguous Arctic shelf is the green belt of the Arctic Ocean. Phytoplankton dynamics in
this environment are driven by extreme physical gradients and by rapid climate change …

The ability of animals to respond to changes in their environment is critical to their
persistence. In the Arctic, climate change and mercury exposure are two of the most …

Remotely-sensed Ocean color data offer a unique opportunity for studying variations of bio-
optical properties which is especially valuable in the Arctic Ocean (AO) where in situ data …

Abstract Diatoms of the Arctic Ocean annually experience extreme changes of light
environment linked to photoperiodic cycles and seasonal variations of the snow and sea‐ice …
