Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Geophysical Research Letters"
DOI: 10.1002/2017gl076446
Abstract: The winter Arctic atmosphere is under the influence of two very different circulation systems: extratropical cyclones travel along the primary North Atlantic storm track from Iceland toward the eastern Arctic, while the western Arctic is… read more here.

Greater Role of Geostrophic Currents in Ekman Dynamics in the Western Arctic Ocean as a Mechanism for Beaufort Gyre Stabilization: EKMAN DYNAMICS IN WESTERN ARCTIC OCEAN
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of Geophysical Research"
DOI: 10.1002/2017jc013282
Abstract: Seven different methods, with and without including geostrophic currents, were used to explore Ekman dynamics in the western Arctic Ocean for the period 1992–2014. Results show that surface geostrophic currents have been increasing and are… read more here.

Long‐term field measurements of climate‐induced thaw subsidence above ice wedges on hillslopes, western Arctic Canada

DOI: 10.1002/ppp.2113
Abstract: Near‐surface wedges of massive ice commonly outline polygons in tundra lowlands, but such polygons have been difficult to identify on hillslopes because soil movement flattens the ridges and infills the troughs that form beside and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pocean.2020.102391
Abstract: Abstract Reduction in summer sea ice coverage has recently been observed in the western Arctic Ocean. Changes in the coverage and timing of sea ice retreat are expected to have a great impact on the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.quageo.2019.101021
Abstract: Abstract The Quaternary paleoenvironmental history of the Arctic Ocean remains uncertain, mainly due to the limited chronological constraints, especially beyond the 14C dating limits of accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS). The difficulty in establishing reliable chronostratigraphies… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2018gb006134
Abstract: The oceanic nitrogen cycle is critically important for the partitioning of greenhouse gases between ocean and atmosphere. Baffin Bay connects ocean regions that are major sources (North Atlantic) and sinks (North Pacific and western Arctic)… read more here.

Episodic Extrema of Surface Stress Energy Input to the Western Arctic Ocean Contributed to Step Changes of Freshwater Content in the Beaufort Gyre
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Geophysical Research Letters"
DOI: 10.1029/2019gl084652
Abstract: The recent dramatic decline of sea ice in the western Arctic Ocean changes the transfer of momentum across the ice‐ocean boundary layer. The surface stress energy input through the surface geostrophic current in the Beaufort… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-53427-4
Abstract: The western Arctic Ocean is experiencing some of the most rapid environmental changes in the Arctic. However, little is known about the microbial community response to these changes. Employing observations from the summer of 2017,… read more here.
