The Ross Sea is one of the most productive regions in the Southern Ocean, with a significant role in carbon cycling as well as the massive abundance of higher trophic levels. The seasonal cycle is well established with an early summer Phaeocystis antarctica bloom that declines followed by a diatom bloom in late summer. ThisRead More..

Tracking how ocean life is responding to increased human use and climate change will empower the global community to predict, mitigate, and manage our ocean. In this document we demonstrate the existence of mature technologies to measure ‘biology’ as a combination of biomass and diversity indicators across the plankton size spectrum. These are now readyRead More..

Chlorophyll fluorescence, primarily used to derive phytoplankton biomass, has long been an underutilized source of information on phytoplankton physiology. Diel fluctuations in chlorophyll fluorescence are affected by both photosynthetic efficiency and non-photochemical quenching (NPQ), where NPQ is a decrease in fluorescence through the dissipation of excess energy as heat. NPQ variability is linked to ironRead More..
