Can we reconstruct the formation of large open-ocean polynyas in the...
Large open-ocean polynyas, defined as ice-free areas within the sea ice pack, have only rarely been observed in the Southern Ocean over the past decades. In addition to smaller...- publication PDF

High temperature sensitivity of Arctic isoprene emissions explained by sedges
It has been widely reported that isoprene emissions from the Arctic ecosystem have a strong temperature response. Here we identify sedges (Carex spp. and Eriophorum spp.) as key...- publication PDF
