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 growth of phytoplankton at high latitudes was generally thought to begin in open waters
of the marginal ice zone once the highly reflective sea ice retreats in spring, solar elevation …

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 …

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 …

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

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 burial of terrestrial organic carbon (terrOC) in marine sediments contributes to the
regulation of atmospheric CO2 on geological timescales and may mitigate positive feedback …
