The cycling of carbon on Earth exerts a fundamental influence upon the greenhouse gas
content of the atmosphere, and hence global climate over millennia. Until recently, ice …

The paradigm that permafrost-affected soils show restricted mineral nitrogen (N) cycling in
favor of organic N compounds is based on the observation that net N mineralization rates in …

Net primary production (NPP) is the foundation of the oceans' ecosystems and the fisheries
they support. In the Arctic Ocean, NPP is controlled by a complex interplay of light and …

Rivers integrate processes occurring throughout their watersheds and are therefore
sentinels of change across broad spatial scales. River chemistry also regulates ecosystem …

We recently reported that decomposition (as a carbon source) of organic matter (OM) is the
dominant process in coastal waters after typhoons, which is contrary to phytoplankton …

Climate warming is expected to mobilize northern permafrost and peat organic carbon (PP-
C), yet magnitudes and system specifics of even current releases are poorly constrained …

A major surface circulation feature of the Arctic Ocean is the Transpolar Drift (TPD), a current
that transports river‐influenced shelf water from the Laptev and East Siberian Seas toward …

Microplastics (MPs) pollution has become a serious environmental issue of growing global
concern due to the increasing plastic production and usage. Under climate warming, the …

The cyclic growth and decay of continental ice sheets can be reconstructed from the history
of global sea level. Sea level is relatively well constrained for the Last Glacial Maximum …

Arctic rivers provide an integrated signature of the changing landscape and transmit signals
of change to the ocean. Here, we use a decade of particulate organic matter (POM) …
