Pyrogenic iron: The missing link to high iron solubility in aerosols

Atmospheric deposition is a source of potentially bioavailable iron (Fe) and thus can partially control biological productivity in large parts of the ocean. However, the explanation of observed high aerosol Fe solubility compared to that in soil particles ...

Monthly to decadal evolution of sandy beaches in the Pittwater estuary

Vincent Henri De Staercke

Even if the total length of shorelines in low-wave environments like bays, sounds, lagoons and estuaries greatly exceed that of open-ocean coasts, the morphodynamics of such systems are poorly understood. Only few studies developed models to predict change ...

Reviews and syntheses: the GESAMP atmospheric iron deposition model intercomparison study

Athanasios Nenes

This work reports on the current status of the global modeling of iron (Fe) deposition fluxes and atmospheric concentrations and the analyses of the differences between models, as well as between models and observations. A total of four global 3-D chemistr ...

Northern Arabian Sea Circulation Autonomous Research (NASCar) A RESEARCH INITIATIVE BASED ON AUTONOMOUS SENSORS

Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez

The Arabian Sea circulation is forced by strong monsoonal winds and is characterized by vigorous seasonally reversing currents, extreme differences in sea surface salinity, localized substantial upwelling, and widespread submesoscale thermohaline structure ...

Types and concentration of microplastics found on remote island beaches during the Race for Water Odyssey

Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Florian Faure, Frédéric Sciacca, Clément Levasseur

Initiated in 2015 by the Race for Water Foundation, the Race for Water Odyssey is an environmental expedition which sailed across Atlantic, Pacific & Indian Oceans. It has 3 main goals: i) analyse plastic pollution on beaches of remote islands; ii) raise a ...

Race For Water Odyssey: Quantitative and Qualitative Assessment of Marine Plastic Debris Collected on Shorelines

Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Florian Faure, Frédéric Sciacca, Clément Levasseur

With the help of the local people we met during the course of the 2015 Odyssey, the main objective, obtaining a collection of comparable data about marine plastic pollution using the NOAA internationally recognized protocol, has been achieved. It cannot be ...

Acceleration of oxygen decline in the tropical Pacific over the past decades by aerosol pollutants

Athanasios Nenes

Dissolved oxygen in the mid-depth tropical Pacific Ocean has declined in the past several decades. The resulting expansion of the oxygen minimum zone has consequences for the region's ecosystem and biogeochemical cycles, but the causes of the oxygen declin ...

A Procedure to Compensate for the Response Drift of a Large Set of Thermistors

Andrea Cimatoribus

The drift of temperature measurements by semiconductor negative temperature coefficient thermistors is a well-known problem. This study analyzes the drift characteristics of the thermistors designed and used at the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Resea ...

Mitochondrial DNA Analyses Indicate High Diversity, Expansive Population Growth and High Genetic Connectivity of Vent Copepods (Dirivultidae) across Different Oceans

Stefan Jean Laurent

Communities in spatially fragmented deep-sea hydrothermal vents rich in polymetallic sulfides could soon face major disturbance events due to deep-sea mineral mining, such that unraveling patterns of gene flow between hydrothermal vent populations will be ...

Is the Red Sea coral Stylophora pistillata already prepared for future ocean conditions?

Anders Meibom, Thomas Krüger, Maoz Fine, Julia Marie Jeanne Yvonne Bodin, Maria-Evangelia Giovani

Migration of corals through a hot water bottleneck in the Southern Red Sea, following the last glacial period, has led to a situation where corals in the Northern Red Sea now express high thermal thresholds while living at suboptimal lower temperatures. We ...
