DOI: 10.1029/2019gb006194
Abstract: Long‐term data characterizing the oceans' biological carbon pump are essential for understanding impacts of climate variability on marine ecosystems. The “Bakun upwelling intensification hypothesis” suggests intensified coastal upwelling due to a greater land‐sea temperature gradient… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020gl087351
Abstract: We investigated nutrient patterns and their relationship to vertical carbon export using results from 38 Lagrangian experiments in the California Current Ecosystem. The dominant mode of variability reflected onshore‐offshore nutrient gradients. A secondary mode of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2020pa004053
Abstract: Future environmental change may profoundly affect oceanic ecosystems in a complex way, due to the synergy between rising temperatures, reduction in mixing and upwelling due to enhanced stratification, ocean acidification, and associated biogeochemical dynamics. Changes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2024gl111937
Abstract: The Lofoten Basin Eddy (LBE) is a persistent topographically constrained anticyclonic eddy in the Norwegian Sea. Considering its local, dynamically distinct state, we test the hypothesis that the LBE has unique biogeochemical signatures. Using satellite… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-26943-z
Abstract: The ocean moderates the world’s climate through absorption of heat and carbon, but how much carbon the ocean will continue to absorb remains unknown. The North Atlantic Ocean west (Baffin Bay/Labrador Sea) and east (Fram… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-55221-x
Abstract: Settling aggregates transport organic matter from the ocean surface to the deep sea and seafloor. Though plankton communities impact carbon export, how specific organisms and their interactions affect export efficiency is unknown. Looking at 15… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41558-024-01956-w
Abstract: Observational reconstructions indicate a contemporary increase in coastal ocean CO2 uptake. However, the mechanisms and their relative importance in driving this globally intensifying absorption remain unclear. Here we integrate coastal carbon dynamics in a global… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/bg-17-3757-2020
Abstract: Abstract. Around 30 species of marine bacteria can emit light, a critical characteristic in the oceanic environment is mostly deprived of sunlight. In this article, we first review current knowledge on bioluminescent bacteria symbiosis in… read more here.
