Fibre-optic exploration of the cryosphere
The icy parts of the Earth, known as the cryosphere, are an integral part of the climate system. Comprehensively understanding the cryosphere requires dense observations, not only of its surface, […]

Preparation protocol for epifluorescence microscopy when working close to the detection limit
Read more of: Preparation protocol for epifluorescence microscopy when working close to the detection limitWorking with low density, low biomass material can be challenging, especially when working near the detection limit. Although background contamination is a universal consideration in microbiological research, its impact is […]

Calcifying plankton: From biomineralization to global change
Read more of: Calcifying plankton: From biomineralization to global changeBACKGROUND: The production and dissolution of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) is a key component of the ocean carbon cycle. In the open ocean, nearly all CaCO 3 is produced […]

Representing the majority and not the minority: the importance of the individual in communicating climate change
Read more of: Representing the majority and not the minority: the importance of the individual in communicating climate changeThis research presents three case studies, through which a creative approach to developing dialogue around climate change is outlined. By working with three distinct communities and encouraging them to discuss […]

Oxygen isotopic evidence for accretion of Earth’s water before a high-energy Moon-forming giant impact
Read more of: Oxygen isotopic evidence for accretion of Earth’s water before a high-energy Moon-forming giant impactThe Earth-Moon system likely formed as a result of a collision between two large planetary objects. Debate about their relative masses, the impact energy involved, and the extent of isotopic […]

Differential Geometry of Ice Flow
Read more of: Differential Geometry of Ice FlowFlowlines on ice sheets and glaciers form complex patterns. To explore their role in ice routing and extend the language for studying such patterns, we develop a theory of flow […]

A probabilistic algorithm to process geolocation data
Read more of: A probabilistic algorithm to process geolocation dataBackground: The use of light level loggers (geolocators) to understand movements and distributions in terrestrial and marine vertebrates, particularly during the non-breeding period, has increased dramatically in recent years. However, […]

Distribution and ecology of the four Macrourus species by‐caught in the longline fishery at South Georgia, Southern Ocean
Read more of: Distribution and ecology of the four Macrourus species by‐caught in the longline fishery at South Georgia, Southern OceanAlthough Macrourus species are the main by‐catch across Southern Ocean longline fisheries, including around South Georgia, the lack of species‐specific data has hindered effective management and ecological understanding. Aggregation of […]
