Southern limit of the Patagonian Ice Sheet
The southern limit of the Patagonian Ice Sheet at glacial maxima is poorly constrained due to a paucity of field data. This particularly applies to southern outlet glaciers of the […]

Assessing the trophic ecology of Southern Ocean Myctophidae: the added value of DNA metabarcoding
Read more of: Assessing the trophic ecology of Southern Ocean Myctophidae: the added value of DNA metabarcodingLanternfishes (Myctophidae) are key components of mesopelagic fish communities globally. In the Southern Ocean, incomplete information on myctophid diets limits our understanding of their energetics, interactions and wider ecosystem impact. […]

Unavoidable future increase in West Antarctic ice-shelf melting over the twenty-first century
Read more of: Unavoidable future increase in West Antarctic ice-shelf melting over the twenty-first centuryOcean-driven melting of floating ice-shelves in the Amundsen Sea is currently the main process controlling Antarctica’s contribution to sea-level rise. Using a regional ocean model, we present a comprehensive suite […]

Retrieval of Snow Depth on Arctic Sea Ice From Surface-Based, Polarimetric, Dual-Frequency Radar Altimetry
Read more of: Retrieval of Snow Depth on Arctic Sea Ice From Surface-Based, Polarimetric, Dual-Frequency Radar AltimetrySnow depth on sea ice is an Essential Climate Variable and a major source of uncertainty in satellite altimetry-derived sea ice thickness. During winter of the MOSAiC Expedition, the “KuKa” […]

Simultaneous organic aerosol source apportionment at two Antarctic sites reveals large-scale and eco-region specific components
Read more of: Simultaneous organic aerosol source apportionment at two Antarctic sites reveals large-scale and eco-region specific componentsAntarctica and the Southern Ocean are the most pristine areas of the globe and represent ideal places to investigate aerosol-climate interactions in an unperturbed atmosphere. In this study, we present […]

Drivers of Antarctic sea ice advance
Read more of: Drivers of Antarctic sea ice advanceAntarctic sea ice is mostly seasonal. While changes in sea ice seasonality have been observed in recent decades, the lack of process understanding remains a key challenge to interpret these […]

Communicating the best available science to inform Antarctic policy and management: a practical introduction for researchers
Read more of: Communicating the best available science to inform Antarctic policy and management: a practical introduction for researchersCommunication at the science-policy interface can be bewildering not only for early-career researchers, but also for many within the research community. In the context of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, […]

Ninety years of change, from commercial extinction to recovery, range expansion and decline for Antarctic fur seals at South Georgia
Read more of: Ninety years of change, from commercial extinction to recovery, range expansion and decline for Antarctic fur seals at South GeorgiaWith environmental change, understanding how species recover from overharvesting and maintain viable populations is central to ecosystem restoration. Here, we reconstruct 90 years of recovery trajectory of the Antarctic fur seal […]

Loss of research and operational equipment in Antarctica: Balancing scientific advances with environmental impact
Read more of: Loss of research and operational equipment in Antarctica: Balancing scientific advances with environmental impactAntarctica has been subject to widespread, long-term and on-going human activity since the establishment of permanent research stations became common in the 1950s. Equipment may become intentionally or inadvertently lost […]
