Sulfur cycling in oceanic oxygen minimum zones

CM Callbeck, DE Canfield… - Limnology and …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
The sulfur cycle is an important, although understudied facet of today's modern oxygen
minimum zones (OMZs). Sulfur cycling is most active in highly productive coastal OMZs …

Organic matter supply and utilization in oxygen minimum zones

A Engel, R Kiko, M Dengler - Annual Review of Marine Science, 2022 - annualreviews.org
Organic matter (OM) plays a significant role in the formation of oxygen minimum zones

Topographic generation of submesoscale centrifugal instability and energy dissipation

J Gula, MJ Molemaker, JC McWilliams - Nature communications, 2016 - nature.com
Most of the ocean kinetic energy is contained in the large scale currents and the vigorous
geostrophic eddy field, at horizontal scales of order 100 km. To achieve equilibrium the …

Oxygen minimum zone cryptic sulfur cycling sustained by offshore transport of key sulfur oxidizing bacteria

CM Callbeck, G Lavik, TG Ferdelman, B Fuchs… - Nature …, 2018 - nature.com
Members of the gammaproteobacterial clade SUP05 couple water column sulfide oxidation

Nitrate-dependent iron oxidation limits iron transport in anoxic ocean regions

F Scholz, CR Löscher, A Fiskal, S Sommer… - Earth and Planetary …, 2016 - Elsevier
Iron is an essential element for life on Earth and limits primary production in large parts of
the ocean. Oxygen-free continental margin sediments represent an important source of …

Submesoscale coherent vortices in the Gulf Stream

J Gula, TM Blacic, RE Todd - Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Seismic images and glider sections of the Gulf Stream front along the US eastern seaboard
capture deep, lens‐shaped submesoscale features. These features have radii of 5–20 km …

Global observations of submesoscale coherent vortices in the ocean

D McCoy, D Bianchi, AL Stewart - Progress in Oceanography, 2020 - Elsevier
Subsurface-intensified anticyclones are ubiquitous in the ocean, yet their impact on the large-
scale transport of heat, salt and chemical tracers is poorly understood. These submesoscale …
