Atmospheric isoprene measurements reveal larger-than-expected Southern Ocean emissions
Julia Schmale, Andrea Baccarini
Isoprene is a key trace component of the atmosphere emitted by vegetation and other organisms. It is highly reactive and can impact atmospheric composition and climate by affecting the greenhouse gases ozone and methane and secondary organic aerosol format ...
2024Polar oceans and sea ice in a changing climate
Julia Schmale, Hélène Paule Angot, Jenny Thomas
Polar oceans and sea ice cover 15% of the Earth’s ocean surface, and the environment is changing rapidly at both poles. Improving knowledge on the interactions between the atmospheric and oceanic realms in the polar regions, a Surface Ocean–Lower Atmospher ...
2023Untangling the influence of Antarctic and Southern Ocean life on clouds
Julia Schmale, Hélène Paule Angot, Jenny Thomas, Markus Frey
Polar environments are among the fastest changing regions on the planet. It is a crucial time to make significant improvements in our understanding of how ocean and ice biogeochemical processes are linked with the atmosphere. This is especially true over A ...
2023Evidence that Pacific tuna mercury levels are driven by marine methylmercury production and anthropogenic inputs
Pacific Ocean tuna is among the most-consumed seafood products but contains relatively high levels of the neurotoxin methylmercury. Limited observations suggest tuna mercury levels vary in space and time, yet the drivers are not well understood. Here, we m ...
National Academy of Sciences2022Key challenges for tropospheric chemistry in the Southern Hemisphere
This commentary paper from the recently formed International Global Atmospheric Chemistry (IGAC) Southern Hemisphere Working Group outlines key issues in atmospheric composition research that particularly impact the Southern Hemisphere. In this article, we ...
2022Towards Efficient Correction of Coconut Tree Detection Errors
Devis Tuia, Diego Michael Schibli
Coconut tree plantations are one of the main sources of income in several South Pacific countries. Thus, keeping track of the location of coconut trees is important for monitoring and post-disaster assessment. Although deep learning based object detectors ...
