Short summary

Climate change is accelerating permafrost thaw and coastal erosion, increasing dissolved organic matter (DOM) inputs to the Arctic Ocean. We show that, beyond seawater dilution, DOM is transformed as it passes through Arctic beach subterranean estuaries, shifting from humic-rich to more microbially processed material. These coastal zones act as biogeochemical reactors, modifying DOM before its export to coastal waters.
