Damping of tropical instability waves caused by the action of surface currents on stress
Read more of: Damping of tropical instability waves caused by the action of surface currents on stressOcean eddies and fronts affect surface stress via two mechanisms: (1) ocean surface currents altering the relative motion between air and sea and, hence, the stress fields and (2) ocean […]

The limnology and biology of the Dufek Massif, Transantarctic Mountains 82° South
Read more of: The limnology and biology of the Dufek Massif, Transantarctic Mountains 82° SouthVery little is known about the higher latitude inland biology of continental Antarctica. In this paper we describe the limnology and biology of the Dufek Massif, using a range of […]

Productivity variation around the Crozet Plateau : a naturally iron fertilised area of the Southern Ocean
Read more of: Productivity variation around the Crozet Plateau : a naturally iron fertilised area of the Southern OceanThe Crozet Plateau is an area of interest as it is a region of the Southern Ocean where annual primary productivity is relatively high. We describe spatial and temporal variations […]

An International Carbon Office to assist policy-based science
Read more of: An International Carbon Office to assist policy-based scienceThe international political commitment to limit global warming to 2 °C urgently requires the stabilisation of radiative forcing from carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere. […]

Using ecosystem monitoring data to detect impacts
Read more of: Using ecosystem monitoring data to detect impactsThe purpose of ecosystem monitoring programs is to indicate the state of ecosystems and whether they have been impacted by activities such as fishing. This paper discusses a range of […]

Evolutionary dynamics at high latitudes: speciation and extinction in polar marine faunas
Read more of: Evolutionary dynamics at high latitudes: speciation and extinction in polar marine faunasEcologists have long been fascinated by the flora and fauna of extreme environments. Physiological studies have revealed the extent to which lifestyle is constrained by low temperature but there is […]

At-sea distribution and behavior of streaked shearwaters (Calonectris leucomelas) during the nonbreeding period
Read more of: At-sea distribution and behavior of streaked shearwaters (Calonectris leucomelas) during the nonbreeding periodStreaked Shearwaters (Calonectris leucomelas) breed in temperate regions of East and Southeast Asia and have been thought to migrate to tropical regions near the Equator after breeding. We documented the […]

Faunal evidence for a late quaternary trans-Antarctic Seaway
Read more of: Faunal evidence for a late quaternary trans-Antarctic SeawayCollapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) would raise global sea level by similar to 3.3-5 m. Ice-sheet models and geological data suggest at least one collapse has happened […]
