2. Antarctic winter tropospheric warming – the potential role of polar stratospheric clouds, a sensitivity study

   Over the last 30 years, Antarctic mid-tropospheric temperatures in winter have increased by 0.5 K per decade, the largest regional tropospheric warming observed. Over this period, amounts of polar stratospheric […]

3. Middle Miocene to Pliocene history of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean

   This chapter explores the Middle Miocene to Pliocene terrestrial and marine records of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. The structure of the chapter makes a clear distinction between terrestrial and […]

4. Cenozoic climate history from seismic reflection and drilling studies on the Antarctic continental margin

   Seismic stratigraphic studies and scientific drilling of the Antarctic continental margin have yielded clues to the evolution of Cenozoic climates, depositional paleoenvironments and paleoceanographic conditions. This paper draws on studies […]

5. Nitrogen fixation in the western equatorial Pacific: Rates, diazotrophic cyanobacterial size class distribution, and biogeochemical significance

   A combination of 15N2 labeling, Tyramide Signal Amplification–Fluorescent in Situ Hybridization (TSA-FISH) assay, and chemical analyses were performed along a trophic gradient (8000 km) in the equatorial Pacific. Nitrogen fixation […]

6. Toward a better understanding of climate of the past million years

   Quaternary Climate: From Pole to Pole—EPICA Open Science Conference; Venice, Italy, 10–13 November 2008; The European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica (EPICA) has provided unique paleoclimatic data and is […]

8. Changes in the freshwater composition of the upper ocean west of the Antarctic Peninsula during the first decade of the 21st century

   In recent decades, the west Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) has warmed more rapidly than anywhere else in the Southern Hemisphere. Associated with this, there has been a marked shortening of the […]

9. Estimating the location of the open-closed magnetic field line boundary from auroral images

   The open-closed magnetic field line boundary (OCB) delimits the region of open magnetic flux forming the polar cap in the Earth’s ionosphere. We present a reliable, automated method for determining […]

10. Gill transcriptome response to changes in environmental calcium in the green spotted puffer fish

    Background Calcium ion is tightly regulated in body fluids and for euryhaline fish, which are exposed to rapid changes in environmental [Ca2+], homeostasis is especially challenging. The gill is the […]

11. Deep equatorial ocean circulation induced by a forced- dissipated Yanai beam

    A complex pattern of zonal currents below the thermocline has been observed in the equatorial Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. The currents have typical speeds from 10 to 15 cm s−1 […]

12. Overview of areal changes of the ice shelves on the Antarctic Peninsula over the past 50 years

    In recent decades, seven out of twelve ice shelves around the Antarctic Peninsula (AP) have either retreated significantly or have been almost entirely lost. At least some of these retreats […]
