  • Assigning the unassigned: A signature-based classification of rDNA metabarcodes reveals new deep-sea diversity 

    Barrenechea Angeles, Inés; Nguyen, Ngoc-Loi; Greco, Mattia; Tan, Koh Siang; Pawlowski, Jan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-29)
    Environmental DNA metabarcoding reveals a vast genetic diversity of marine eukaryotes. Yet, most of the metabarcoding data remain unassigned due to the paucity of reference databases. This is particularly true for the deep-sea meiofauna and eukaryotic microbiota, whose hidden diversity is largely unexplored. Here, we tackle this issue by using unique DNA signatures to classify unknown metabarcodes ...

    Himmler, Tobias; Wagner, Doris; Sahy, Diana; Vadakkepuliyambatta, Sunil; Chand, Shyam; Martma, Tõnu; Kirsimäe, Kalle; Mattingsdal, Rune; Panieri, Giuliana; Bünz, Stefan; Condon, Daniel J.; Knies, Jochen Manfred; Lepland, Aivo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-03-01)
    The hydrocarbon seepage chronology during deglaciation across the formerly glaciated Barents Sea was established using uranium-thorium (U–Th) dating of seep carbonates. Seep carbonates were sampled with remotely operated vehicles (ROV) from the seafloor at three active hydrocarbon seeps (water depth 156–383 m), located in the north-west (Storfjordrenna), north-central (Storbanken High), and south-west ...
  • Biogeochemical investigations of methane seepage at the ultraslow-spreading Arctic mid-ocean ridge: Svyatogor ridge, Fram Strait 

    Argentino, Claudio; Borrelli, Chiara; Akinselure, Abidemi; Correa-Diaz, Melyssa; Panieri, Giuliana (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-13)
    The Arctic continental shelves are important reservoirs of methane stored in gas hydrates and deeper geological formations. However, little is known about methane dynamics in deeper oceanic settings such as mid-ocean ridges, mainly due to operational challenges related to their remoteness. This study investigates a recently discovered methane seepage environment at Svyatogor Ridge, a sediment-covered ...
  • Shallow and deep groundwater moderate methane dynamics in a high Arctic glacial catchment 

    Kleber, Gabrielle Emma; Magerl, Leonard; Turchyn, Alexandra V.; Redeker, Kelly; Thiele, Stefan; Liira, Martin; Herodes, Koit; Øvreas, Lise; Hodson, Andrew (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-02-07)
    Glacial groundwater can mobilize deep-seated methane from beneath glaciers and permafrost in the Arctic, leading to atmospheric emissions of this greenhouse gas. We present a temporal, hydro-chemical dataset of methane-rich groundwater collected during two melt seasons from a high Arctic glacial forefield to explore the seasonal dynamics of methane emissions. We use methane and ion concentrations ...
  • Assessment of the ecological quality status of the Sepetiba Bay (SE Brazil): When metabarcoding meets morphology on foraminifera 

    Damasceno, Fabrício Leandro; Martins, Maria Virgínia; Frontalini, Fabrizio; Pawlowski, Jan; Cermakova, Kristina; Barrenechea Angeles, Inés; Santos, Luiz Guilherme Costa; Mendonça Filho, João Graciano; Francescangeli, Fabio; Senez-Mello, Thaise M.; Castelo, Wellen Fernanda Louzada; Rebouças, Renata Cardia; Duleba, Wania; Sousa, Silvia Helena de Mello; Laut, Lazaro; Antonioli, Luzia (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-01-09)
    In recent years, the region surrounding Sepetiba Bay (SB; SE Brazil) has become a hub of intense urban expansion and economic exploitation in response to ore transport and industrial and port activities. As a result, contaminants have been introduced into the bay, leading to an overall worsening of the environmental quality. The present work applies for the first time a foraminiferal morphology-based ...

    A better understanding of past extent and dynamics of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) is required to provide context for present-day observations, to constrain numerical climate models and to predict future scenarios of ice-sheet response to recent climatic change. The presence of a grounded GrIS on the NE Greenland shelf during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) is supported by high-resolution seismic ...
  • Quantifying short-term changes in snow strength due to increasing liquid water content above hydraulic barriers 

    Schlumpf, Mikael; Hendrikx, Jordy; Stormont, John C.; Webb, Ryan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-31)
    The rapid weakening of snow layers that accumulate infiltrating liquid water is a well-known, but poorly quantified, mechanism for wet-snow slab avalanche formation. Therefore, quantifying this mechanical process is a crucial part of forecasting these snow avalanches accurately. Currently, studies do not agree on how snow strength should change as a function of volumetric liquid water content ( ) ...
  • Calcium isotopes track volatile components in the mantle sources of alkaline rocks and associated carbonatites 

    Chen, Chunfei; Foley, Stephen F.; Tappe, Sebastian; Ren, Huange; Feng, Lanping; Liu, Yongsheng (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-16)
    The volatile components CO2 and H2O induce mantle melting and thus exert major controls on mantle heterogeneity. Primitive intraplate alkaline magmatic rocks are the closest analogues for incipient mantle melts and provide the most direct method to assess such mantle heterogeneity. Given the considerable Ca isotope differences among carbonate, clinopyroxene, garnet, and orthopyroxene in the mantle ...
  • Local Seismicity and Sediment Deformation in the West Svalbard Margin: Implications of Neotectonics for Seafloor Seepage 

    Domel, Przemyslaw; Plaza Faverola, Andreia Aletia; Schlindwein, Vera; Bünz, Stefan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-12)
    In the Fram Strait, mid-ocean ridge spreading is represented by the ultra-slow system of the Molloy Ridge, the Molloy Transform Fault and the Knipovich Ridge. Sediments on oceanic and continental crust are gas charged and there are several locations with documented seafloor seepage. Sedimentary faulting shows recent stress release in the sub-surface, but the drivers of stress change and its influence ...
  • Elevated methane alters dissolved organic matter composition in the Arctic Ocean cold seeps 

    Sert, Muhammed Fatih; Schweitzer, Hannah; de Groot, Tim R.; Kekäläinen, Timo; Jänis, Janne; Bernstein, Hans Christopher; Ferré, Benedicte; Gründger, Friederike; Kalenitchenko, Dimitri Stanislas Desire; Niemann, Helge (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-12-15)
    Cold seeps release methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) from the seafloor to the water column, which fuels microbially mediated aerobic methane oxidation (MOx). Methane-oxidising bacteria (MOB) utilise excess methane, and the MOB biomass serves as a carbon source in the food web. Yet, it remains unclear if and how MOx modifies the composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in cold seeps. We investigated MOx ...
  • The transition from normal marine to evaporitic conditions recorded in a cold seep environment: The Messinian succession of Northern Italy 

    Conti, S.; Argentino, Claudio; Bojanowski, M.; Fioroni, C.; Giunti, S.; Kremer, B.; Fontana, D. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-11-26)
    Messinian pre-evaporitic seep carbonates outcropping in the Tuscan-Romagna area share a common upward stratigraphic trend: massive seep carbonates rich in large lucinids, modiolids and planktonic foraminifera pass upward to horizontally laminated carbonates free of macrofauna and foraminifera. A transitional macrofauna-free facies marks the passage in some sections, sometimes with faint lamination. ...
  • Diel and seasonal methane dynamics in the shallow and turbulent Wadden Sea 

    de Groot, Tim René; Mol, Anne Margriet; Mesdag, Katherine; Ramond, Pierre; Ndhlovu, Rachel; Engelmann, Julia Catherine; Röckmann, Thomas; Niemann, Helge (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-25)
    The Wadden Sea is a coastal system along the fringe of the land–sea borders of Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands. The Wadden Sea is extremely productive and influenced by strong variations in physical and biological forcing factors that act on timescales of hours to seasons. Productive coastal seas are known to dominate the ocean's methane emission to the atmosphere, but knowledge of controls and ...
  • The Subglacial Lake That Wasn't There: Improved Interpretation From Seismic Data Reveals a Sediment Bedform at Isunnguata Sermia 

    Hofstede, C; Wilhelms, F.; Neckel, N.; Fritzsche, D.; Beyer, S.; Hubbard, Alun Lloyd; Pettersson, R.; Eisen, O. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-26)
    Radio Echo Sounding (RES) surveys conducted in May 2010 and April 2011 revealed a 2 km2 flat area with increased bed reflectivity at the base of Isunnguata Sermia at the western margin of the Greenland Ice Sheet. This flat reflector was located within a localized subglacial hydraulic potential (hydropotential) minimum, as part of a complex and elongated trough system. By analogy with comparable ...
