Opportunities and limitations of large open biodiversity occurrence databases in the context of a Marine Ecosystem Assessment of the Southern Ocean
Read more of: Opportunities and limitations of large open biodiversity occurrence databases in the context of a Marine Ecosystem Assessment of the Southern OceanThe Southern Ocean is a productive and biodiverse region, but it is also threatened by anthropogenic pressures. Protecting the Southern Ocean should start with well-informed Marine Ecosystem Assessments of the […]

Highly variable friction and slip observed at Antarctic ice stream bed
Read more of: Highly variable friction and slip observed at Antarctic ice stream bedThe slip of glaciers over the underlying bed is the dominant mechanism governing the migration of ice from land into the oceans, with accelerating slip contributing to sea-level rise. Yet […]

The FORCIS database: A global census of planktonic Foraminifera from ocean waters
Read more of: The FORCIS database: A global census of planktonic Foraminifera from ocean watersPlanktonic Foraminifera are unique paleo-environmental indicators through their excellent fossil record in ocean sediments. Their distribution and diversity are affected by different environmental factors including anthropogenically forced ocean and climate […]

Scoping intergenerational effects of nanoplastic on the lipid reserves of Antarctic krill embryos
Read more of: Scoping intergenerational effects of nanoplastic on the lipid reserves of Antarctic krill embryosAntarctic krill (Euphausia superba) plays a central role in the Antarctic marine food web and biogeochemical cycles and has been identified as a species that is potentially vulnerable to plastic […]

Vertical flux of microplastic, a case study in the Southern Ocean, South Georgia
Read more of: Vertical flux of microplastic, a case study in the Southern Ocean, South GeorgiaEstimated plastic debris floating at the ocean surface varies depending on modelling approaches, with some suggesting unaccounted sinks for marine plastic debris due to mismatches between plastic predicted to enter […]

Quantifying microplastics in fjords along the Western Antarctic Peninsula
Read more of: Quantifying microplastics in fjords along the Western Antarctic PeninsulaMicroplastics are ubiquitous around the world. Microplastics have been documented around the Southern Ocean, in coastal sediments and in Antarctic marine organisms, however microplastics data for Antarctic waters remain scarce. […]

Silicon isotopes highlight the role of glaciated fjords in modifying coastal waters
Read more of: Silicon isotopes highlight the role of glaciated fjords in modifying coastal watersGlaciers and ice sheets are experiencing rapid warming under current climatic change and there is increasing evidence that glacial meltwaters provide key dissolved and dissolvable amorphous nutrients to downstream ecosystems.

Ocean Heat Content responses to changing Anthropogenic Aerosol Forcing Strength: Regional and multi-decadal variability
Read more of: Ocean Heat Content responses to changing Anthropogenic Aerosol Forcing Strength: Regional and multi-decadal variabilityThe causes of decadal variations in global warming are poorly understood, however it is widely understood that variations in ocean heat content are linked with variations in surface warming. To […]

Volcanogenic fluxes of iron from the seafloor in the Amundsen Sea, West Antarctica
Read more of: Volcanogenic fluxes of iron from the seafloor in the Amundsen Sea, West AntarcticaThe Amundsen Sea in the Pacific sector of West Antarctica receives meltwater from the fastest retreating Antarctic glaciers, and its coastal polynyas host the highest primary productivity per unit area […]
