Selected physical, biological and biogeochemical implications of a rapidly changing Arctic Marginal Ice Zone
Abstract The Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ) of the Arctic Ocean is changing rapidly due to a
warming Arctic climate with commensurate reductions in sea ice extent and thickness. This …

The contiguous domains of Arctic Ocean advection: Trails of life and death
Abstract The central Arctic Ocean is not isolated, but tightly connected to the northern Pacific
and Atlantic Oceans. Advection of nutrient-, detritus-and plankton-rich waters into the Arctic …

Sea ice decline drives biogeographical shifts of key Calanus species in the central Arctic Ocean
In recent decades, the central Arctic Ocean has been experiencing dramatic decline in sea
ice coverage, thickness and extent, which is expected to have a tremendous impact on all …

Advection in polar and sub-polar environments: Impacts on high latitude marine ecosystems
We compare and contrast the ecological impacts of atmospheric and oceanic circulation
patterns on polar and sub-polar marine ecosystems. Circulation patterns differ strikingly …

The Pan-Arctic continental slope: Sharp gradients of physical processes affect pelagic and benthic ecosystems
Continental slopes–steep regions between the shelf break and abyssal ocean–play key
roles in the climatology and ecology of the Arctic Ocean. Here, through review and …

What feeds the benthos in the Arctic Basins? Assembling a carbon budget for the deep Arctic Ocean
Half of the Arctic Ocean is deep sea (> 1000 m), and this area is currently transitioning from
being permanently ice-covered to being seasonally ice-free. Despite these drastic changes …
