1. The role of Southern Ocean fronts in the global climate system
Abstract : The location of fronts has a direct influence on both the physical and biological processes in the Southern Ocean. However, until recently fronts have been poorly resolved by available data and climate models. READ MORE

2. Unraveling the thermohaline structure of the Southern Ocean using functional data analysis
Abstract : The Southern Ocean connects the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic Oceans and provides a direct pathway to exchange mass, heat and salt across the Global Ocean, therefore playing an important role in the global climate system. Due to the complexity of its structure and the general inadequacy of its sampling, both in time and space, it remains a challenge to describe and visualize the three dimensional pattern of its circulation and the associated tracer distribution (temperature, salinity, oxygen or nutrients).

3. Turbulence in the sea ice impacted Southern Ocean and its implications for primary production and carbon export
Abstract : The sea ice impacted Southern Ocean, south of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, is one of the most important regions on earth for the cycling of carbon and distribution of heat and freshwater around the globe. Here, along-isopycnal upwelling of warm, carbon-rich circumpolar deep water coincides with the annual growth and melt of Antarctic sea ice that represents one of the worlds largest surface water transformations.

4. The Location and Variability of Southern ocean Fronts
Abstract : The location of fronts has a direct influence on both the physical and biological processes in the Southern Ocean. Moreover, the Subtropical Front (STF) is believed play a key role in the global climate system. READ MORE

5. Formation and Distribution of Marine Biogenic Halocarbons with Emphasis on Polar Regions
Abstract : It is well-established that marine micro- and macroalgae form volatile halogenated compounds (halocarbons). Production occurs throughout the world ocean with strong regional sources in coastal areas. In the atmosphere, these compounds are converted to reactive inorganic halogen compounds, which degrade ozone. READ MORE
