The POMP project is pleased to announce that the special issue “Biodiversity, Carbon Dynamics, and Climate Feedback in Rapidly Changing Polar Oceans” is now online in Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene and ready to receive submissions.
The special issue will bring together research advancing understanding of how rapid environmental change is affecting biodiversity, carbon dynamics, and climate feedbacks in polar oceans. It offers an opportunity to share new findings from across the POMP consortium and the wider polar research community, contributing to the project’s mission to better understand how polar marine ecosystems can support climate change mitigation.
Researchers are encouraged to submit manuscripts related to polar ocean biodiversity, blue carbon habitats, carbon capture, storage and sequestration, ecosystem change, and the links between polar marine systems and climate feedbacks.
When submitting a paper, authors should:
Include the short title “Rapidly changing polar oceans” on the paper title page and in the cover letter.
Select “Yes” when asked whether the paper is part of a Special Feature, and enter: “Biodiversity, Carbon Dynamics, and Climate Feedback in Rapidly Changing Polar Oceans”.
