Mitigation of oxygen decline in fjords by freshwater injection
Aksnes, Dag Lorents; Berntsen, Jarle Peder; Darelius, Elin Maria K. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The exchange of water masses between deep fjords and the open ocean is commonly constrained by a topographical barrier called the sill. While fjord water above the sill depth communicates relatively freely with the open ... -

Fer, Ilker; Darelius, Elin Maria K.; Daae, Kjersti Birkeland (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-01-23)Turbulence profile measurements made on the upper continental slope and shelf of the southeastern Weddell Sea reveal striking contrasts in dissipation and mixing rates between the two sites. The mean profiles of dissipation ... -
Observed Seasonal Evolution of the Antarctic Slope Current System off the Coast of Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica
Lauber, Julius; de Steur, Laura; Hattermann, Tore; Darelius, Elin Maria K. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The access of heat to the Antarctic ice shelf cavities is regulated by the Antarctic Slope Front, separating relatively warm offshore water masses from cold water masses on the continental slope and inside the cavity. ... -
Observed vulnerability of Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf to wind-driven inflow of warm deep water
Darelius, Elin Maria K.; Fer, Ilker; Nicholls, Keith W. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-08-02)The average rate of melting at the base of the large Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf in the southern Weddell Sea is currently low, but projected to increase dramatically within the next century. In a model study, melt rates ... -
