      he high nutrient–low chlorophyll condition of the Southern Ocean is generally thought to be caused by the low bioavailability of micronutrients, particularly iron, which plays an integral role in phytoplankton photosynthesis. Nevertheless, the Southern Ocean experiences seasonal blooms that generally initiate in austral spring, peak in summer, and extend into autumn. This seasonal increase in primary ...
    • The emergence of modern sea ice cover in the Arctic Ocean 

      Knies, Jochen; Cabedo-Sanz, Patricia; Belt, Simon T.; Baranwal, Soma; Fietz, Susanne; Rosell-Melé, Antoni (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014-11-28)
      Arctic sea ice coverage is shrinking in response to global climate change and summer ice-free conditions in the Arctic Ocean are predicted by the end of the century. The validity of this prediction could potentially be tested through the reconstruction of the climate of the Pliocene epoch (5.33–2.58 million years ago), an analogue of a future warmer Earth. Here we show that, in the Eurasian sector ...
