Comprehending a species’ life-history strategies is crucial to inform effective conservation efforts. Commercial fishing impacts icefish (family: Channichthyidae) in the Scotia Sea, but detailed information on species-specific life histories remains […]
The West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) is prone to major retreat. Identifying when previous WAIS retreats occurred could improve sea level rise projections, but detection of these events in marine […]
The West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) is thinning at an accelerating rate, driven by melting at its margins by warm Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW). However, this understanding is largely based […]
The Southern Ocean is central to global heat and carbon cycling, connecting all the major ocean basins and regulating Earth’s climate system, and hence providing ecosystem services of global significance. […]
Seasonal and inter-annual variations in zooplankton play a vital role in marine ecosystems. In Antarctica, because of the extreme seasonality and ice extent, zooplankton studies are predominantly conducted in summer […]
The Southern Annular Mode (SAM) strongly modulates Antarctic near-surface air temperature (SAT) variability. We employ a storyline approach to examine projected end of century changes in the spatial SAM-SAT relationship […]
An epipelic strain of the cyanobacterium Pseudanabaena (USMAC20) obtained from the sediment of Dian Pu River, Shanghai, China, was characterized using combined phenotypic and genetic approaches. The morphological plasticity of […]
We perform a causal analysis to quantify the direct causal links on intraseasonal time‐scales associated with the influence of El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) teleconnections on summer monsoon Himalayan precipitation (SMHP) […]
Since the dawn of the space age in 1957, humanity has achieved the remarkable feat of exploring all the planets in our Solar System with robotic spacecraft. This glimpse into […]
Antarctic marine coastal near-surface winds play a key role in Southern Ocean circulation. Using the ERA5 reanalysis dataset, this paper develops directional wind constancy as a tool for identifying key […]
Oxygen is fundamental to ocean biogeochemical processes, with deoxygenation potentially reducing biodiversity, and disrupting biogeochemical cycles. In recent decades, the global ocean oxygen concentration has been decreasing, but this decrease […]
Background: The northern rockhopper penguin (Eudyptes moseleyi) is a threatened species, listed as Endangered globally by the IUCN owing to rapid population decreases in the past, combined with a limited […]
