    Description: As the Arctic coast erodes, it drains thermokarst lakes, transforming them into lagoons and, eventually, integrates them into subsea permafrost. Lagoons represent the first stage of a thermokarst lake transition to a marine setting and possibly more saline and colder upper boundary conditions. In this research, borehole data, electrical resistivity surveying, and modelling of heat and salt diffusion were carried out at Polar Fox Lagoon on the Bykovsky Peninsula, Siberia. Polar Fox Lagoon is a seasonally isolated water body connected to Tiksi Bay through a channel, leading to hypersaline waters under the ice cover. The boreholes in the centre of the lagoon revealed floating ice and a saline cryotic bed underlain by a saline cryotic talik, a thin ice‐bearing permafrost layer, and unfrozen ground. The bathymetry showed that most of the lagoon was ice‐grounded in spring. In bedfast ice areas, the electrical resistivity profiles suggest that an unfrozen saline layer was underlain by a thick layer of refrozen talik. The modelling suggests thermokarst lake taliks refreeze when submerged in saltwater with mean annual bottom water temperatures below or slightly above 0 °C. This occurs, because the top‐down chemical degradation of newly formed ice‐bearing permafrost is slower than the cooling of the talik. Hence, lagoons may pre‐condition taliks with a layer of ice‐bearing permafrost before encroachment by the sea and this frozen layer may act as a cap on gas migration out of the underlying talik.

    Description: Fram Strait in the northern North Atlantic is a key region for marine cold air outbreaks (MCAOs), southward discharges of polar air under northerly air flow, which have a strong impact on air-sea heat fluxes, boundary layer processes and severe weather. This study investigates climatologies and decadal trends of Fram Strait MCAOs of different intensity classes based on the ERA5 reanalysis product for 1979–2020. Among striking interannual variability, it is shown that the main MCAO season is December through March, when MCAOs occur around 2/3 of the time. We report on significant decadal MCAO decreases in December and January, and a significant increase in March. While the mid-winter decrease is mainly related to the different paces of warming between the surface and the lower atmosphere, the increase in March can be related to changes in synoptic circulation patterns. As an explanation for the latter, a possible feedback between retreating Barents Sea sea ice, enhanced cyclonic activity and Fram Strait MCAOs is postulated. Exemplifying the trend toward stronger MCAOs during March, the study details the recordbreaking MCAO season in early 2020, and an observational case study of an extreme MCAO event in March 2020 is conducted. Thereby, radiosonde observations are combined with kinematic air back-trajectories to provide rare observational evidence for the diabatic cooling and drying during the MCAO preconditioning phase.

    Description: Fjords are recognized as hotspots of organic carbon (OC) burial in the coastal ocean. In fjords with glaciated catchments, glacier discharge carries large amounts of suspended matter. This sedimentary load includes OC from bedrock and terrigenous sources (modern vegetation, peat, soil deposits), which is either buried in the fjord or remineralized during export, acting as a potential source of CO2 to the atmosphere. In sub-Antarctic South Georgia, fjord-terminating glaciers have been retreating during the past decades, likely as a response to changing climate conditions. We determine sources of OC in surface sediments of Cumberland Bay, South Georgia, using lipid biomarkers and the bulk 14C isotopic composition, and quantify OC burial at present and for the time period of documented glacier retreat (between 1958 and 2017). Petrogenic OC is the dominant type of OC in proximity to the present-day calving fronts (60.4 ± 1.4% to 73.8 ± 2.6%) and decreases to 14.0 ± 2.7% outside the fjord, indicating that petrogenic OC is effectively buried in the fjord. Beside of marine OC, terrigenous OC comprises 2.7 ± 0.5% to 7.9 ± 5.9% and is mostly derived from modern plants and Holocene peat and soil deposits that are eroded along the flanks of the fjord, rather than released by the retreating fjord glaciers. We estimate that the retreat of tidewater glaciers between 1958 and 2017 led to an increase in petrogenic carbon accumulation of 22% in Cumberland West Bay and 6.5% in Cumberland East Bay, suggesting that successive glacier retreat does not only release petrogenic OC into the fjord, but also increases the capacity of OC burial.

    Description: Hillaire‐Marcelet al. bring forward several physical and geochemical arguments against our finding of an Arctic glaciolacustrine system in the past. In brief, we find that a physical approach to further test our hypothesis should additionally consider the actual bathymetry of the Greenland–Scotland Ridge (GSR), the density maximum of freshwater at 3–4°C, the sensible heat flux from rivers, and the actual volumes that are being mixed and advected. Their geochemical considerations acknowledge our original argument, but they also add a number of assumptions that are neither required to explain the observations, nor do they correspond to the lithology of the sediments. Rather than being additive in nature, their arguments of high particle flux, low particle flux, export of 230Th and accumulation of 230Th, are mutually exclusive. We first address the arguments above, before commenting on some misunderstandings of our original claim in their contribution, especially regarding our dating approach.

    Description: Integrated electron microprobe analyses (EMPAs) on glass and Sr–Nd isotope analyses have been performed on 17 tephras from the Middle Pleistocene Mercure lacustrine succession, southern Apennines. Two 40Ar/39Ar ages and the recognition of four relevant tephras from Colli Albani, Sabatini and possibly Roccamonfina volcanoes allowed us to ascribe the investigated succession to the late Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 15–12 interval (560–440 ka). The Sr–Nd isotopes and major element glass compositions allowed us to attribute 10 out of the other 13 tephras to a poorly known activity of the Roccamofina volcano, whereas two layers were tentatively attributed to previously unknown Middle Pleistocene activity of Ponza Island or Campanian volcanoes, and one to Salina Island. The tephrostratigraphic correlation of the Mercure tephras with the Acerno lacustrine pollen record (Campania) also allowed us to evaluate the climatostratigraphic position of the tephras within the framework of the MIS 15–12 climatic variability. These results were obtained by combining the Sr–Nd isotope ratio with EMPA and 40Ar/39Ar geochronological data. This confirms the notable consistency of this approach for studying the Mediterranean Middle Pleistocene tephrostratigraphy, which, despite its great potential for both volcanology and Quaternary studies, has been hitherto barely explored.

    Description: Climate change can make extreme drought and flood events more frequent, while damming large rivers can alter the hydrological regime by making droughts more prolonged and floods less intense. Together, both factors can affect aquatic communities. Here, the variation of Chironomidae community attributes between extreme floods and droughts in a neotropical floodplain river was investigated. The hypothesis that the abundance, richness, diversity and variability attributes of the Chironomidae community are reduced after extreme events was tested. Sampling took place quarterly from 2000 to 2012, although only a few years were selected to investigate our predictions. Twelve sampling periods were selected, which were divided into years in which, El Niño (extreme flood) and La Niña (extreme drought) phenomena occurred. In the Paraná River, three points were determined for the collection of benthic material, in transect: right bank, center and left bank of the river. We recorded 75 morphospecies of Chironomidae. The most common taxa in periods of extreme flooding were Djalmabatista sp 2, Lopescladius sp 1 and Tanytarsus type E. For periods of extreme drought, the most common taxa were Polypedilum (Tripodura) sp 4, Polypedilum sp 3 and Lopescladius sp 1. A composition and attributes of the Chironomidae community in the Paraná River varied between before and after extreme flood and drought events. Attributes such as Shannon-Wiener abundance, richness and diversity were reduced after extreme floods and, in contrast, tended to increase after extreme drought events (except Shannon diversity). Thus, it can be stated that the evaluated flood and drought events, despite being extreme, have different consequences in the Chironomidae community of the Paraná River. Given the environmental and global conditions we experience today, including climate change and dams, extreme events could be even more frequent in aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, it is essential to understand the consequences of extreme flood and drought events on ecosystems with high biodiversity and that provide relevant ecosystem services such as floodplain rivers.
    Description: As mudanças climáticas podem tornar eventos de secas e cheias extremas mais frequentes, enquanto barramentos de grandes rios podem alterar o regime hidrológico por tornar as secas mais prolongadas e as cheias menos intensas. Em conjunto, ambos fatores podem afetar as comunidades aquáticas. Aqui, a variação dos atributos da comunidade de Chironomidae entre as cheias e secas extremas em um rio de planície de inundação neotropical. Testou-se a hipótese de que os atributos abundância, riqueza, diversidade e variabilidade da comunidade de Chironomidae são reduzidos após eventos extremos. As amostragens ocorreram trimestralmente 2000 a 2012, embora apenas alguns anos foram selecionados para investigar nossas predições. Selecionou-se 12 períodos de amostragem, que foram divididos em anos que ocorreram fenômenos de El Niño (cheia extrema) e La Niña (seca extrema). No rio Paraná foram determinados três pontos para coleta do material bentônico, em transecto: margem direita, centro e margem esquerda do rio. Registrou-se 75 morfoespécies de Chironomidae. Os táxos mais comuns nos períodos de cheia extrema foram Djalmabatista sp 2, Lopescladius sp 1 e Tanytarsus tipo E. Para os períodos de seca extrema, os táxons mais comuns foram Polypedilum (Tripodura) sp 4, Polypedilum sp 3 e Lopescladius sp 1. A composição e os atributos da comunidade de Chironomidae no rio Paraná variaram entre antes e depois de eventos de cheia e seca extremas. Os atributos, como abundância, riqueza e diversidade de Shannon-Wiener, foram reduzidos após cheias extremas e em contrapartida, tenderam a aumentar após eventos de seca extrema (exceto diversidade de Shannon). Pode-se afirmar que os eventos de cheias e secas avaliados, apesar de extremos, acarretam em diferentes consequências na comunidade de Chironomidae do rio Paraná. Considerando que as condições ambientais e globais que vivenciamos hoje, incluindo mudanças climáticas e barragens, os eventos extremos poderão ser ainda mais frequentes nos ecossistemas aquáticos. Portanto, é fundamental compreendermos as consequências dos eventos de cheia e seca extremas em ecossistemas com elevada biodiversidade e que fornecem relevantes serviços ecossistêmicos como rios de planícies de inundação.

    Description: Decomposition is a process of great importance to the ecosystem. Macroinvertebrates together with fungi and bacteria play a very important role in the cycling of organic matter. Through decomposition, nutrients that make up the organisms can be reused and macroinvertebrates act by fractionating the organic matter in this process. The exotic species Hydrilla verticillata (L.f) Royle usually causes problems in various regions of the globe such as economic damage in hydroelectric plants. This exotic species competes with native species and can facilitates new invasions. The objective of the present work is to evaluate how the colonization of macroinvertebrates occurs during the decomposition of H. verticillata and E. najas macrophytes, as well as other community attributes during the process such as density, richness, Shannon diversity and Pielou evenness. The experiment was carried out in Garças Lake and the macrophytes were collected in Paraná River. Macrophytes were dried at room temperature and 5 g of each species were added in two types of litterbags, one thin mesh (0.5 mm) and another with thick mesh (4 mm), totalling 100 litterbags. The litterbags were fixed at 5 points in the lake and removed each 4 days. In the laboratory the litterbags were washed with a 0.2 μm mesh sieve, the decomposing material was sorted and the remainder was oven dried for further decay calculation. There was no significant difference in community attributes, except when time was applied assigned to analysis. The decomposition was similar in both species because both had similar characteristics, including phylogenetic proximity. The most observed taxon during the process was Chironomidae. Thus, it is worth noting that more studies are needed to elucidate questions related to the colonization process and quantify the degradation of organic matter of exotic and native species in the Upper Paraná River floodplain.
    Description: A decomposição é um processo de grande importâcia para os ecossistemas, e os macroivertebrados juntamente com fungos e bactérias possuem um importante papel na ciclagem da matéria orgânica. Pela decomposição, os nutrientes que compõem os organismos podem ser novamente reutilizados, e os macroinvertebrados atuam fracionando essa matéria orgânica. A espécie exótica Hydrilla verticillata (L.f) Royle é uma espécie de macrófita submersas que atualmente tem causado problemas em diversas regiões do globo. Além de causar prejuízos econômicos em usinas hidroelétricas H. verticillata causa prejuízos para as espécies nativas devido a competição por recursos, o que pode facilitar novas invasões. Avaliou-se como ocorre a colonização de macroinvertebrados durante a decomposição das macrófitas H. verticillata e E. najas, além de avaliar outros atributos de comunidade durante o processo como, por exemplo, densidade, riqueza, diversidade de Shannon e equitabilidade de Pielou. O experimento foi realizado na Lagoa das Garças e as macrófitas foram coletadas no Rio Paraná. Após a coleta, as plantas foram secas em temperatura ambiente. Foram acondicionadas 5 g de material seco de cada espécie em dois tipos de litterbag, um com malha fina (0,5mm) e outro com malha grossa (4 mm), totalizando 100 litterbags. Os litterbags foram fixados em 5 pontos na lagoa e retirados em um intervalo de 4 em 4 dias. Em laboratório, os litterbags foram lavados com auxílio de peneira de malha de 0,2 μm. O material em decomposição foi triado e o restante foi seco em estufa para posterior cálculo de decaimento. Não houve diferença significativa nos atributos de comunidade, exceto quando o tempo foi aplicado como uma variável à análise. A decomposição foi similar nas duas espécies devido a ambas possuírem características semelhantes. Talvez, a proximidade filogenética entre as macrófitas possa ter gerado a similaridade dos resultados obtidos durante o experimento. O táxon mais observado durante o processo foi de Chironomidae e o processo de colonização ocorreu de forma muito semelhante para ambos os tratamentos. Os tipos de malhas mostraram resultados parecidos, pois podem não ter influenciado a colonização e a entrada dos macroinvertebrados durante o processo de decomposição. Desse modo, a colonização dos invertebrados não dependeu das espécies de macrófita e/ou tipo de malha. Por isso ressalta-se a importância de novos estudos para melhor direcionar questões voltadas para a colonização e quantificar a degradação da matéria orgânica relativa a espécies exóticas e nativas na planície de inundação do alto rio Paraná.

    Description: Shallow seabed depressions attributed to focused fluid seepage, known as pock- marks, have been documented in all continental margins. In this study, we dem- onstrate how pockmark formation can be the result of a combination of multiple factors— fluid type, overpressures, seafloor sediment type, stratigraphy and bot- tom currents. We integrate multibeam echosounder and seismic reflection data, sediment cores and pore water samples, with numerical models of groundwa- ter and gas hydrates, from the Canterbury Margin (off New Zealand). More than 6800 surface pockmarks, reaching densities of 100 per km2, and an undefined number of buried pockmarks, are identified in the middle to outer shelf and lower continental slope. Fluid conduits across the shelf and slope include shal- low to deep chimneys/pipes. Methane with a biogenic and/or thermogenic origin is the main fluid forming flow and escape features, although saline and fresh- ened groundwaters may also be seeping across the slope. The main drivers of fluid flow and seepage are overpressure across the slope generated by sediment loading and thin sediment overburden above the overpressured interval in the outer shelf. Other processes (e.g. methane generation and flow, a reduction in hydrostatic pressure due to sea- level lowering) may also account for fluid flow and seepage features, particularly across the shelf. Pockmark occurrence coin- cides with muddy sediments at the seafloor, whereas their planform is elongated by bottom currents.

    Description: The survival of fish eggs and larvae, and therefore recruitment success, can be critically affected by transport in ocean currents. Combining a model of early‐life stage dispersal with statistical stock–recruitment models, we investigated the role of larval transport for recruitment variability across spatial scales for the population complex of North Sea cod (Gadus morhua ). By using a coupled physical–biological model, we estimated the egg and larval transport over a 44‐year period. The oceanographic component of the model, capable of capturing the interannual variability of temperature and ocean current patterns, was coupled to the biological component, an individual‐based model (IBM) that simulated the cod eggs and larvae development and mortality. This study proposes a novel method to account for larval transport and success in stock–recruitment models: weighting the spawning stock biomass by retention rate and, in the case of multiple populations, their connectivity. Our method provides an estimate of the stock biomass contributing to recruitment and the effect of larval transport on recruitment variability. Our results indicate an effect, albeit small, in some populations at the local level. Including transport anomaly as an environmental covariate in traditional stock–recruitment models in turn captures recruitment variability at larger scales. Our study aims to quantify the role of larval transport for recruitment across spatial scales, and disentangle the roles of temperature and larval transport on effective connectivity between populations, thus informing about the potential impacts of climate change on the cod population structure in the North Sea.

    Description: Tectono-stratigraphic interpretation and sequential restoration modelling was performed over two high-resolution seismic profiles crossing the Western Ionian Basin of southern Italy. This analysis was undertaken in order to provide greater insights and a more reliable assessment of the deformation rate affecting the area. Offshore seismic profiling illuminates the sub-seafloor setting where a belt of active normal faults slice across the foot of the Malta Escarpment, a regional-scale structural boundary inherited from the Permo-Triassic palaeotectonic setting. A sequential restoration workflow was established to back-deform the entire investigated sector with the primary aim of analysing the deformation history of the three major normal faults affecting the area. Restoration of the tectono-stratigraphic model reveals how deformation rates evolved through time. In the early stage, the studied area experienced a significant deformation with the horizontal component prevailing over the vertical element. In this context, the three major faults contribute to only one third of the total deformation. The overall throw and extension then notably reduced through time towards the present day and, since the middle Pliocene, ongoing crustal deformation is accommodated almost entirely by the three major normal faults. Unloading and decompaction indicate that when compared to the unrestored seismic sections, a revision and a reduction of roughly one third of the vertical displacement of the faults offset is required. This analysis ultimately allows us to better understand the seismic potential of the region.
