🚨 Monday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the *lowest* on record (JAXA data)

• about 350,000 km² below the 2010s mean
• about 1,010,000 km² below the 2000s mean
• about 1,590,000 km² below the 1990s mean
• about 2,150,000 km² below the 1980s mean

Line graph time series of 2025's daily Arctic sea ice extent compared to decadal averages from the 1980s to the 2010s. The decadal averages are shown with different colored lines with purple for the 1980s, blue for the 1990s, green for the 2000s, and white for the 2010s. Thin white lines are also shown for each year from 2000 to 2024. 2025 is shown with a thick gold line. There is a long-term decreasing trend in ice extent for every day of the year shown on this graph between May and August by looking at the decadal average line positions.

Cool new paper on single cell nutrient uptake measurement of polar #phytoplankton and how they affect their surroundings

Tough guys: A new study shows that ice #algae grow extremely efficiently, despite having hardly any #nutrients at hand. They can thus accelerate #glacier #melting, highly relevant for our #climate.

I am thrilled this paper led by Jorge Santos-Bruña is out: This mesocosm experiment in 2017 was my first contact with "real science" and it's exciting to see how far I've come in the meantime.

Want to know all the details on how much climate change and terrigenous inputs affect biological carbon cycling? And how much it changes between emission scenarios?

We have you covered, also for nitrogen.

Very cool paper for all the #diatom nerds and primary productivity folks out there!
