The Arctic is a fascinating place but can be difficult to visit. This #EarthDay, do the next best thing and learn about this unique ecosystem while you’re staying home. Take a look at our new State of the Arctic Ocean report! ow.ly/yZVB50zlM12

And more coverage on our study on the effects of Artificial light in National Geographic and Scientific American nationalgeographic.com/scien… scientificamerican.com/artic…

Climate change is leading to Arctic light pollution and disrupting marine life

Thanks to climate change, more humans are able to pass through the Arctic, and they're making the region's once black polar night brighter.

Our last paper on mesopelagic fish and zooplankton in the high Arctic. They are consistently found at high latitudes, but the assemblage and trophic relationships change between summer and winter. To be added to your summer reading list! frontiersin.org/article/10.3…
