A contrast in sea ice drift and deformation between winter and spring of 2019 in the Antarctic marginal ice zone | Jan 2024
UCT-MARiS PhD student Ashleigh Womack and several other UCT-MARiS and external sea-ice researchers presents on how storms affect different Antarctic marginal ice zone drifts during winter sea ice growth and spring sea ice retreat.
A Circum-Antarctic Plankton Isoscape: Carbon Export Potential Across the Summertime Southern Ocean | Jan 2024
UCT-MARiS PostDoc, Dr Luca Stirnimann and several other UCT-MARiS and external sea-ice researchers highlights the complementary role of the Southern Ocean phytoplankton community composition in modulating carbon export.
Scoping an Integrated Ecosystem Assessment for the southern Benguela: fisheries still biggest risk | Jan 2024
UCT-MARiS PostDoc, Dr Eugin Bornman used the ODEMM approach for scoping an integrated ecosystem assessment for the southern Benguela, from the early 1960s - present, and zooming in on the most important fisheries.
