Observations from the last decade suggest an important role of sea ice in the global
biogeochemical cycles, promoted by (i) active biological and chemical processes within the …

The Arctic is warming faster than any other region in the world. Among the changes already
witnessed, the loss of seasonal sea ice is by far the most striking. This large-scale shift in …

Background Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) is the dominant volatile organic sulfur in global oceans.
The predominant source of oceanic DMS is the cleavage of dimethylsulfoniopropionate …

Over the past 50 years there has been much effort invested in the investigation of the
ecology of sea ice. Sea ice is an ephemeral feature of the Arctic and Southern Oceans and …

The fate of first-year ice algae production was assessed from April to June 1998, in the North
Water Polynya. A landfast ice station was regularly visited and sampled for biomass …

Over the past two decades, with recognition that the ocean's sea-ice cover is neither
insensitive to climate change nor a barrier to light and matter, research in sea-ice …

This study examines the relationships linking methanesulfonic acid (MSA, arising from the
atmospheric oxidation of the biogenic dimethylsulfide, DMS) in atmospheric aerosol, satellite …

Dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) plays important roles in oceanic carbon and sulfur
cycling and may significantly impact climate. It is a biomolecule synthesized from the …

This study presents temporal variations in concentrations of chlorophyll a (Chl a), particulate
and dissolved dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSPp and DMSPd) in the sea ice and …

From the earliest observations of sea ice to the present, one of the most remarkable features
that has been routinely noted by all that have ventured into sea ice covered regions is the …
