This study explores the dynamics of diffusive convection, which is realized in regions where cool and fresh water-masses rest on top of those that are warm and salty. This type of convection is often observed in the Arctic Ocean and is characterized by the development of fine-scale steps in vertical salinity and temperature profiles known as thermohaline staircases. The Arctic staircases control the rate of upward heat transfer from waters of Atlantic origin, thereby influencing the melting of...

The Arctic has had a strong response to global climate change expressed through widespread melting of the perennial ice cover in the Canada Basin at an increasing rate. High resolution coupled atmospheric and ocean climate models significantly underestimate this reduction in late summer ice extent. In this study, long term ocean time series observations from ice tethered profilers (ITPs) and autonomous ocean flux buoys (AOFBs) enable the integration of upper ocean temperature structure to make...

In this classic 1878 presentation to the Anthropology Society of Paris, Doctor Arthur Bordier describes 9 Norwegian Lapps (5 males, 4 females) that he studied. Among their physical characteristics Bordier found these Lapps to be short, light-skinned, and blond, with all of them appearing to be "cheerful and openhearted" as well. In a Discussion period following Bordier's talk, Doctor Jacques Bertillon and Doctor Jules Lunier offer interesting explanations for the long lifespans of the...
