What supplies nutrients to the surface layer of subtropical gyres is a long standing question in oceanography Recent work by Kate Oglethorpe shows that horizontal nutrient fluxes by mesoscale eddies are as (if not more) important than vertical fluxes:

POLEMIX will deploy a mixing observing system in the North Atlantic and feed the observations into ocean models to disentangle the fate of freshwater and its impacts on dense water formation. Hiring soon!

Sea ice in the Arctic and around Antarctica cool our climate, drive ocean circulation across the planet, and provide a unique habitat for polar ecosystems. Sea ice amounts have now fallen to their lowest since we started measuring them. This is not good. ๐๐ฅผโ๏ธ๐งช
