• Deep ocean particle flux in the Northeast Atlantic over the past 30 years: carbon sequestration is controlled by ecosystem structure in the upper ocean 

      Lampitt, Richard S.; Briggs, Nathan; Cael, B. B.; Espinola, Benoit; Hélaouët, Pierre; Henson, Stephanie A.; Norrbin, Maria Fredrika; Pebody, Corinne A.; Smeed, David (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-16)
      The time series of downward particle flux at 3000 m at the Porcupine Abyssal Plain Sustained Observatory (PAP-SO) in the Northeast Atlantic is presented for the period 1989 to 2018. This flux can be considered to be sequestered for more than 100 years. Measured levels of organic carbon sequestration (average 1.88 gm<sup>−2</sup> y<sup>−1</sup> ) are higher on average at this location than at ...
    • Temporal dynamics in zooplankton δ13C and δ15N isoscapes for the North Atlantic Ocean: Decadal cycles, seasonality, and implications for predator ecology 

      Espinasse, Boris Dristan; Sturbois, Anthony; Basedow, Sünnje Linnéa; Hélaouët, Pierre; Johns, David G.; Newton, Jason; Trueman, Clive N. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-17)
      The limited amount of ecological data covering offshore parts of the ocean impedes our ability to understand and anticipate the impact of anthropogenic stressors on pelagic marine ecosystems. Isoscapes, i.e., spatial models of the distribution of stable isotope ratios, have been employed in the recent years to investigate spatio-temporal patterns in biogeochemical process and ecological responses. ...
