DOI: 10.1002/2017gl073227
Abstract: This study reconstructs a century-long South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (SAMOC) index. The reconstruction is possible due to its covariability with sea surface temperature (SST). A singular value decomposition (SVD) method is applied to the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lno.12694
Abstract: The South Atlantic Ocean (SAO) is an under‐sampled ocean where the influence of environmental drivers on copepod body size is poorly understood. This study investigated the body size distribution of copepods from 13°S to 64°S… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00300-021-02849-w
Abstract: Some top predator populations in the South Atlantic and South Indian oceans are in decline, presumably contingent upon reduced food availability, precipitated by climate change. This phenomenon impacts on the positions of major ocean frontal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00382-020-05442-9
Abstract: South-Eastern Brazil experienced a devastating drought associated with significant agricultural losses in austral summer 2014. The drought was linked to the development of a quasi-stationary anticyclone in the South Atlantic in early 2014 that affected… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.chemgeo.2018.07.022
Abstract: Abstract Copper (Cu) is both an essential micronutrient and toxic to photosynthesizing microorganisms at low concentrations. Its dissolved vertical distribution in the oceans is unusual, being neither a nutrient-type nor scavenged-type element. This distribution is… read more here.
