Information on tintinnid horizontal distribution in the Antarctic Continental Zone is scarce. During the summer of 2019/2020, tintinnid diversity and horizontal distribution in surface waters were investigated in the Ross Sea and Amundsen Sea polynya. Eig
To understand the response of transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) to the changes in phytoplankton communities caused by melting sea ice, we collected samples from the polynya and open ocean affected by the Antarctic circumpolar current in the Amundsen
The Southern Ocean breeds a special ecosystem. The evolution and adaptability of Antarctic marine organisms is a key research field of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research. The study of the Antarctic marine ecosystem is also one of the tasks of
Seawater samples were collected around Prydz Bay in summer of 2014, dissolved and particulate 210Po and 210Pb were measured to reveal the disequilibrium characteristics and particle dynamics. Our results show that the distribution of 210Po and 210Po/210Pb
Investigating the multiple proxies involving productivity, organic geochemistry, and trace element (TE) enrichment in surface sediments could be used as paleoenvironment archives to gain insights into past and future environmental conditions changes. We p
The submesoscale processes, including submesoscale eddies and fronts, have a strong vertical velocity, can thus make important supplements to the nutrients in the upper ocean. Using legacy multichannel seismic data AP25 of cruise EW9101 acquired northeast
The in situ calibration of Scientific Echo Sounders (SESs) in the Southern Ocean is crucial for accurate assessments of Antarctic krill and fishery biomasses. Because of the occurrence of strong winds, waves, and sea ice coverage in most seasons, SES cali
Due to the harmful impacts on the ecosystem and even human health, mercury (Hg) compounds in the environment deserve serious concern. Atmospheric mobilization and exchange at the air-sea interface are important processes in biogeochemical cycling of Hg. R
