Arctic rivers carry about 40 Tg of organic carbon per year into the Arctic Ocean, enough to change the colour of the surface water over entire shelf seas. Ongoing permafrost thaw mobilizes ancient organic matter in the Arctic Ocean’s watershed and, in particular, organic carbon that was previously p...
