Multi-omics for studying and understanding polar life
Read more of: Multi-omics for studying and understanding polar lifePolar ecosystems are experiencing amongst the most rapid rates of regional warming on Earth. Here, we discuss ‘omics’ approaches to investigate polar biodiversity, including the current state of the art, […]

The Extraordinary March 2022 East Antarctica “Heat” Wave. Part II: Impacts on the Antarctic Ice Sheet
Read more of: The Extraordinary March 2022 East Antarctica “Heat” Wave. Part II: Impacts on the Antarctic Ice SheetBetween 15 and 19 March 2022, East Antarctica experienced an exceptional heat wave with widespread 30°–40°C temperature anomalies across the ice sheet. In Part I, we assessed the meteorological drivers […]

The Extraordinary March 2022 East Antarctica “Heat” Wave. Part I: Observations and Meteorological Drivers
Read more of: The Extraordinary March 2022 East Antarctica “Heat” Wave. Part I: Observations and Meteorological DriversBetween 15 and 19 March 2022, East Antarctica experienced an exceptional heat wave with widespread 30°–40°C temperature anomalies across the ice sheet. This record-shattering event saw numerous monthly temperature records […]

Investigating non-fungal eukaryotic diversity in snow in the Antarctic Peninsula region using DNA metabarcoding
Read more of: Investigating non-fungal eukaryotic diversity in snow in the Antarctic Peninsula region using DNA metabarcodingSnow is a unique microhabitat, despite being a harsh environment, multiple life forms have adapted to survive in it. While algae, bacteria and fungi are dominant microorganisms in Antarctic snow, […]

First records of Chionodraco hamatus nests in coastal areas of Terra Nova Bay (Ross Sea): a potential nesting area for the species?
Read more of: First records of Chionodraco hamatus nests in coastal areas of Terra Nova Bay (Ross Sea): a potential nesting area for the species?Nests of the icefish Chionodraco hamatus were documented for the first time at about 500 m depth at Terra Nova Bay (Victoria Land, western Ross Sea), in an area included […]

Exploring the origin of Antarctic precipitation for an improved climatic interpretation of ice-core records
Read more of: Exploring the origin of Antarctic precipitation for an improved climatic interpretation of ice-core recordsTo refine moisture-source and site-temperature reconstructions inferred from measurements from ice cores, we must understand moisture provenance from which Antarctic precipitation originates. Here, we discuss our current understanding of Antarctic […]

The significance of the melt-pond scheme in a CMIP6 global climate model
Read more of: The significance of the melt-pond scheme in a CMIP6 global climate modelThe impact of melt ponds on sea-ice albedo has been observed and documented. In general circulation models, ponds are now accounted for through indirect diagnostic treatments (‘implicit’ schemes), or prognostic […]

Deciphering stable water isotope records of firn cores from a strongly maritime, high-accumulation site on the Antarctic Peninsula
Read more of: Deciphering stable water isotope records of firn cores from a strongly maritime, high-accumulation site on the Antarctic PeninsulaStable water isotope records of six firn cores retrieved from two adjacent plateaus on the northern Antarctic Peninsula between 2014 and 2016 are presented and investigated for their connections with […]

Simulations of ocean deoxygenation in the historical era: insights from forced and coupled models
Read more of: Simulations of ocean deoxygenation in the historical era: insights from forced and coupled modelsOcean deoxygenation due to anthropogenic warming represents a major threat to marine ecosystems and fisheries. Challenges remain in simulating the modern observed changes in the dissolved oxygen (O2). Here, we […]
