Article Synopsis
  • * The study discusses two potential scenarios for 2030: a "business-as-usual" path continuing current trends, and a more hopeful future achieved through informed action towards the UN SDGs.
  • * Key drivers for these futures include the eagerness for climate action, response to extreme events, and implementation of climate interventions, with various proactive measures suggested to promote a sustainable future such as enhancing economic incentives and supporting local initiatives.

Article Synopsis
  • Improved ocean literacy is crucial for achieving global sustainable development goals by 2030, but challenges like urbanization and socio-economic disparities hinder public engagement with ocean environments.
  • The Future Seas project aims to synthesize knowledge from various fields to enhance ocean literacy, focusing on education, cultural connections, technology, and knowledge exchange as key drivers of societal connection to the ocean.
  • The creation of an ocean literacy toolkit is proposed as a practical resource to foster better perceptions of the ocean and encourage widespread support for effective ocean management and conservation.

A large retreat of sea-ice in the 'stormy' Atlantic Sector of the Arctic Ocean has become evident through a series of record minima for the winter maximum sea-ice extent since 2015. Results from the Norwegian young sea ICE (N-ICE2015) expedition, a five-month-long (Jan-Jun) drifting ice station in first and second year pack-ice north of Svalbard, showcase how sea-ice in this region is frequently affected by passing winter storms. Here we synthesise the interdisciplinary N-ICE2015 dataset, including independent observations of the atmosphere, snow, sea-ice, ocean, and ecosystem.

The Arctic icescape is rapidly transforming from a thicker multiyear ice cover to a thinner and largely seasonal first-year ice cover with significant consequences for Arctic primary production. One critical challenge is to understand how productivity will change within the next decades. Recent studies have reported extensive phytoplankton blooms beneath ponded sea ice during summer, indicating that satellite-based Arctic annual primary production estimates may be significantly underestimated.

Introduction: Ultrasound-guided interventions often necessitate scanning of deep-seated anatomical structures that may be hard to visualize. Visualization can be improved using reconstructed 3D ultrasound volumes. High-resolution 3D reconstruction of a large area during clinical interventions is challenging if the region of interest is unknown.
