The element silicon (Si) is required for the growth of silicified organisms in marine
environments, such as diatoms. These organisms consume vast amounts of Si together with …

The cycling of carbon on Earth exerts a fundamental influence upon the greenhouse gas
content of the atmosphere, and hence global climate over millennia. Until recently, ice …

Freshwater discharge from glaciers is increasing across the Arctic in response to
anthropogenic climate change, which raises questions about the potential downstream …

In recent decades, the land-ocean aquatic continuum, commonly defined as the interface, or
transition zone, between terrestrial ecosystems and the open ocean, has undergone …

Atmospheric deposition of desert dust and other aerosols influence on the open ocean
ecosystem and climate. These aerosols provide iron, phosphorus and bio-essential trace …

Continental slopes–steep regions between the shelf break and abyssal ocean–play key
roles in the climatology and ecology of the Arctic Ocean. Here, through review and …

Climate-change driven increases in temperature and precipitation are leading to increased
discharge of freshwater and terrestrial material to Arctic coastal ecosystems. These inputs …

Land cover responses to climate change must be quantified for understanding Arctic climate,
managing Arctic water resources, maintaining the health and livelihoods of Arctic societies …

Abstract The Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA) is vulnerable to climate warming, and with
over 300 tidewater glaciers, is a hotspot for enhanced glacial retreat and meltwater runoff to …

The polar region is experiencing one of the most rapid environmental changes driven by
atmospheric warming, and feedbacks within the cryosphere. Under such a setting, it is …
