DOI: 10.1002/lno.10565
Abstract: Amundsen Sea polynyas are among the most productive, yet climate-sensitive ecosystems in the Southern Ocean and host massive annual phytoplankton blooms. These blooms are believed to be controlled by iron fluxes from melting ice and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marchem.2021.104008
Abstract: Abstract The Amundsen Sea is the most rapidly melting part of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, due to increased heat transport by Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW). Tracing CDW and resulting glacial meltwater is important since… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ocemod.2018.11.001
Abstract: Abstract The representation of tides in regional ocean simulations of the Amundsen Sea enhances ice-shelf melting, with weakest effects for Pine Island and Thwaites ( + 10 % ) and strongest effects for Dotson, Cosgrove… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020gl089412
Abstract: The remote and often ice‐covered Amundsen Sea Embayment in Antarctica is important for transporting relatively warm modified Circumpolar Deep Water (mCDW) to the Western Antarctic Ice Sheet, potentially accelerating its thinning and contribution to sea… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/jcli-d-18-0813.1
Abstract: The Amundsen Sea low (ASL) is a quasi-stationary low pressure system that affects climate in West Antarctica. Previous studies have shown that El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) modulates the position and strength of the ASL with… read more here.

Distributions and relationships of virio- and picoplankton in the epi-, meso- and bathypelagic zones of the Amundsen Sea, West Antarctica during the austral summer

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.941323
Abstract: Virioplankton and picoplankton are the most abundant marine biological entities on earth and mediate biogeochemical cycles in the Southern Ocean. However, understanding of their distribution and relationships with environmental factors is lacking. Here, we report… read more here.
