Complexity revealed in the greening of the Arctic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)As the Arctic warms, vegetation is responding, and satellite measures indicate widespread greening at high latitudes. This ‘greening of the Arctic’ is among the world’s most important large-scale ecological responses to ... -
Large loss of CO2 in winter observed across the northern permafrost region
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Recent warming in the Arctic, which has been amplified during the winter1,2,3, greatly enhances microbial decomposition of soil organic matter and subsequent release of carbon dioxide (CO2)4. However, the amount of CO2 ... -
Ocean warming as a trigger for irreversible retreat of the Antarctic ice sheet
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Warmer ocean conditions could impact future ice loss from Antarctica due to their ability to thin and reduce the buttressing of laterally confined ice shelves. Previous studies highlight the potential for a cold to warm ... -
Slowdown of Antarctic Bottom Water export driven by climatic wind and sea-ice changes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) is pivotal for oceanic heat and carbon sequestrations on multidecadal to millennial timescales. The Weddell Sea contributes nearly a half of global AABW through Weddell Sea Deep Water and ... -
Sudden emergence of a shallow aragonite saturation horizon in the Southern Ocean
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Models project that with current CO2 emission rates, the Southern Ocean surface will be undersaturated with respect to aragonite by the end of this century1,2,3,4. This will result in widespread impacts on biogeochemistry ...
