The thickness of glaciers in High-Mountain Asia (HMA) is critical in determining when the ice reserve will be lost as these glaciers thin but is remarkably poorly known because very…

Bycatch of seabirds in longline fisheries includes mortalities and live captures (mainly during hauling). Excluding outliers, the latter accounts for 5–70% (mean 40.4%) of all bycaught birds in demersal, and…30 June, 2020 by Dominic Hodgson, Stephen Roberts
The recent disintegration of Antarctic Peninsula ice-shelves and the associated accelerated discharge and retreat of continental glaciers has highlighted the need to provide a longer-term perspective for present ice mass…

Over the last three decades, the South Pole has experienced a record-high statistically significant warming of 0.61 ± 0.34 °C per decade, more than three times the global average. Here, we use an…
