What drives the latitudinal gradient in open ocean surface dissolved inorganic carbon concentration?
... Upwelling occurs within the Antarctic Circumpolar Cur- rent (ACC) where the wind stress is greatest (Morrison et al., 2015). As the upwelled water subsequently advects away, the effects of upwelling on DIC are ...

Importance of dispersal routes that minimize open-ocean movement to the genetic structure of island populations
... Isolation by bathymetry was measured to assess the impact of sea-level on dispersal ability. Given the islands were formed as a result of rising sea level approximately 8000 years ago, depth can be used as a proxy of ...
