The constant increase of marine plastic pollution poses an unprecedented risk to oceanic islands, which become increasingly exposed a hazard they have very little control. Located in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean, Macaronesia is comprised by Azores, Madeira, Canary Islands, and Cabo Verde. Although past studies suggest that most items collected on these islands are from offshore regions, their actual sources remain unclear present date. As such, we focus characterization potential pathways...
The Island Mass Effect has been primarily attributed to nutrient enhancement of waters surrounding oceanic islands due physical processes, whereas the role land runoff seldom considered. Land can be particularly relevant in mountainous islands, highly susceptible torrential rainfall that rapidly leads flash floods. Madeira Island, located Northeast Atlantic Ocean, is historically known for its flood events, when steep streams transport high volumes water and terrigenous material downstream....
The Oxygen Minimum Zone (OMZ) off the coast of Mauritania and Senegal is characterized by a shallow deep oxygen minimum, each with potentially different formation mechanisms. Although OMZ has been linked to en-route degradation organic matter within highly productive, coastal-generated eddies, less attention paid hypoxic Dissolved (DO) concentrations observed along coastal region, where low-oxygen eddies are formed. This study aims clarify spatio-temporal dynamics underlying mechanisms that...
Short-lived bromo-, chloro- and iodocarbons from marine anthropogenic sources contribute to the atmospheric halogen budgets ozone depletion in troposphere stratosphere. Their spatial variations are poorly known, given sparse observations of concentrations. The distribution air-sea fluxes halocarbons need be quantified order clarify oceanic contributions future tropospheric stratospheric chemistry.Here we present first halocarbon dataset research cruise SO287-CONNECT (Pan-Atlantic...
