Near-bed stratification controls bottom hypoxia in ice-covered alpine lakes

Damien Bouffard, Camille Roland Marie Minaudo, Tomy Doda, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez, Hannah Elisa Chmiel, Janine Rüegg, Nicolas Thomas Georges Escoffier, Pascal Perolo

In ice-covered lakes, near-bottom oxygen concentration decreases for most of the wintertime, sometimes down to the point that bottom waters become hypoxic. Studies insofar have reached divergent conclusions on whether climate change limits or reinforces th ...

Physicochemical characterization and source apportionment of Arctic ice-nucleating particles observed in Ny-Alesund in autumn 2019

Athanasios Nenes, Ghislain Gilles Jean-Michel Motos, Jörg Wieder, Guangyu Li

Ice-nucleating particles (INPs) initiate primary ice formation in Arctic mixed-phase clouds (MPCs), altering cloud radiative properties and modulating precipitation. For atmospheric INPs, the complexity of their spatiotemporal variations, heterogeneous sou ...

The Biogeochemical Legacy of Arctic Subglacial Sediments Exposed by Glacier Retreat

Tyler Joe Kohler

During past periods of advance, Arctic glaciers and ice sheets overrode soil, sediments, and vegetation and buried significant stores of organic matter (OM); these glaciers are now shrinking rapidly due to climate warming. Little is known about the biogeoc ...

Unexpected post‐glacial colonisation route explains the white colour of barn owls ( Tyto alba ) from the British Isles

Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex, Christian Iseli

The climate fluctuations of the Quaternary shaped the movement of species in and out of glacial refugia. In Europe, the majority of species followed one of the described traditional postglacial recolonization routes from the southern peninsulas towards the ...

Ice multiplication from ice-ice collisions in the high Arctic: sensitivity to ice habit, rimed fraction, ice type and uncertainties in the numerical description of the process

Athanasios Nenes, Georgia Sotiropoulou

Atmospheric models often fail to correctly reproduce the microphysical structure of Arctic mixed-phase clouds and underpredict ice water content even when the simulations are constrained by observed levels of ice nucleating particles. In this study we inve ...

Snowfall and snow accumulation processes during the MOSAiC winter and spring season

Michael Lehning, Marc Schneebeli Zeugin, David Nicholas Wagner, Markus Frey, Marc Oggier

Data from the Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition allowed us to investigate the temporal dynamics of snowfall, snow accumulation, and erosion in great detail for almost the whole accumulation season (N ...

Seascape Genomics of the Sugar Kelp Saccharina latissima along the North Eastern Atlantic Latitudinal Gradient

Chloé Christiane Laurence Jollivet, Stéphane Mauger

Temperature is one of the most important range-limiting factors for many seaweeds. Driven by the recent climatic changes, rapid northward shifts of species' distribution ranges can potentially modify the phylogeographic signature of Last Glacial Maximum. W ...

Snapshots of mean ocean temperature over the last 700,000 yr using noble gases in the EPICA Dome C ice core

Adrien Michel

Together with the latent heat stored in glacial ice sheets the ocean heat uptake carries the lion’s share of glacial/interglacial changes in the planetary heat content but little direct information on the global mean ocean temperature (MOT) is available to ...

Enhanced trace element mobilization by Earth's ice sheets

Tyler Joe Kohler

Trace elements sustain biological productivity, yet the significance of trace element mobilization and export in subglacial runoff from ice sheets is poorly constrained at present. Here, we present size-fractionated (0.02, 0.22, and 0.45 mu m) concentratio ...

Dispersal limitations and historical factors determine the biogeography of specialized terrestrial protists

Edward Mitchell, Luca Bragazza, Mariusz Lamentowicz, Enrique Lara, Bertrand Fournier

Recent studies show that soil eukaryotic diversity is immense and dominated by micro-organisms. However, it is unclear to what extent the processes that shape the distribution of diversity in plants and animals also apply to micro-organisms. Major diversif ...
