      In this paper we analyze how oceanic circulation affects sediment deposition along a sector of the Ross Sea continental margin, between the Iselin Bank and the Hillary Canyon, and how these processes evolved since the Late Miocene. The Hillary Canyon is one of the few places around the Antarctic continental margin where the dense waters produced onto the continental shelf, mainly through brine ...
    • Does your lab use social media? Sharing three years of experience in science communication 

      Pavlov, Alexey K.; Meyer, Amelie; Rösel, Anja; Cohen, Lana; King, Jennifer; Itkin, Polona; Negrel, Jean; Gerland, Sebastian; Hudson, Stephen R.; Dodd, Paul A.; de Steur, Laura; Mathisen, Stig; Cobbing, Nick; Granskog, Mats A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-06-27)
      Effective science communication is essential to share knowledge and recruit the next generation of researchers. Science communication to the general public can, however, be hampered by limited resources and a lack of incentives in the academic environment. Various social media platforms have recently emerged, providing free and simple science communication tools to reach the public and young people ...

      Despite the exclusion of the Southern Ocean from assessments of progress towards achieving the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) Strategic Plan, the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) has taken on the mantle of progressing eforts to achieve it. Within the CBD, Aichi Target 11 represents an agreed commitment to protect 10% of the global coastal and ...
    • Vertical redistribution of principle water masses on the Northeast Greenland Shelf 

      Gjelstrup, Caroline V.B.; Sejr, Mikael K.; de Steur, Laura; Schou Christiansen, Jørgen; Granskog, Mats A.; Koch, Boris P.; Møller, Eva Friis; Winding, Mie H.S.; Stedmon, Colin A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-10)
      The Northeast Greenland shelf (NEGS) is a recipient of Polar Water (PW) from the Arctic Ocean, Greenland Ice Sheet melt, and Atlantic Water (AW). Here, we compile hydrographical measurements to quantify long-term changes in fjords and coastal waters. We find a profound change in the vertical distribution of water masses, with AW shoaling >60 m and PW thinning >50 m since early 2000’s. The properties ...
