Sewage in the ground, waste in the sea. A new study links outdated cesspools and septic systems in western Hawaii to water contamination, showing where cleanup should start. A model for islands worldwide.
Time series of a BGC‐Argo float WMO#5906483 deployed in the ETNP in January 2022 (see inset map reference). (a) Mean monthly POC stocks at the upper 100 m depth. (b) Chlorophyll fluorescence concentrations at the upper 200 m depth. Dashed black lines denote the ML. (c) POC concentrations overlain by the ML. (d) Nitrate concentrations. (e) Nitrite concentrations. (f) Thiosulfate concentrations. (g) Oxygen concentrations minus a background correction from the sensor calibration offset. Continuous black lines denote the isolines where corrected O2 = 1 μmol kg^-1
🌊BGC-Argo float of the month is a sensor, not a float. Bif and Johnson (GBC; doi/10.1029/2024GB008473) show that the concentration of nitrite can be extracted from the UV spectra of ISUS or SUNA nitrate sensors.

Lots of cool barefoot lab presentations @EGU25 next week! Pop in and say hello!
🧪 Nutrient pollution in Europe’s lagoons has triggered great nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions 🫧
🌎 Globally, emission from lagoons is higher than previously estimated 📈
Check is out in @jgrbiogeo.bsky.social

#Nitrogen paper out! 🌊🌊🌊
Global lagoons emit more N2O than we thought!

The 2nd PhD paper by @hlscheung.bsky.social with a great team @barefootlab.bsky.social, etc. is out now in @jgrbiogeo.bsky.social @agu.org
Congrats @acabral.bsky.social on another awesome mangrove paper!
Large scale submarine groundwater discharge dominates nutrient inputs to China’s coast.
Total SGD accounted for 19–54% of nutrient inputs, exceeding inputs from atmospheric deposition and rivers.

New paper just published! We combined a water mass decomposition with biogeochemical tracers to untangle advective nutrient sources from the Gulf Stream and the Labrador Current versus local recycling along the Northwest Atlantic continental shelf. Have a look: 👇🌊🧪 #AGU

A nice letter by Yau et al., looking at CO2, CH4 and N2O fluxes across the glacier-ocean continuum in Iceland 🌊
agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
My last PhD chapter is out!
Combined GHG fluxes reveal a net carbon sink across a glacier-ocean continuum — glacier exports CH₄ to coastal waters, but strong CO₂ uptake outweighs GHG emissions. 🌊❄️

Paper out @agu.org!
Overall, global fjords are minor sources of #N2O to the atmosphere
❗ BUT fjords with #aquaculture and #anoxia host relatively high nitrous oxide #emissions

🤝Great collaboration with @barefootlab.bsky.social @awahlin.bsky.social
Our AEs typically manage 5–15 papers per year and join one meeting. You get to participate in shaping the quality and integrity of the scientific literature, the team is very supportive, and you gain insights into the scientific publishing process.
Reach out (gbc@agu.org) if you are interested with an one paragraph email. Essential criteria would be previous engagement with AGU journals as an author and reviewer. We want to expand expertise, diversify demographics, and build redundancy in our team.
Want to join @agu.org Global Biogeochemical Cycles editorial board? We are recruiting associate editors with expertise in microbiology (terrestrial and marine), silica and phosphorus cycling, soil respiration, lake CNP cycling, forest productivity, aquatic organic matter...

Awesome outcome of Apra Tomer’s MSc work summarising >10 years of field investigations at 40 coastal systems from 14 countries.
Groundwater discharge explained much of the CO2 tidal dynamics in nearshore waters.

Proud to be a part of the authorship team on this one!
Groundwater discharge contributes large amounts of carbon dioxide to coastal ecosystems and warrants inclusion in their carbon budgets.
