Categorisation of the length of bowhead whales from British Arctic whaling records
Read more of: Categorisation of the length of bowhead whales from British Arctic whaling recordsBritish whalers were the first and last from Europe to hunt bowhead whales (Balaena mysticetus) commercially from the Arctic whaling grounds of the Greenland Sea (East Greenland-Svalbard-Barents stock) and Davis […]

Breaking the Ring of Fire: How ridge collision, slab age, and convergence rate narrowed and terminated the Antarctic continental arc
Read more of: Breaking the Ring of Fire: How ridge collision, slab age, and convergence rate narrowed and terminated the Antarctic continental arcThe geometry of the Antarctic-Phoenix Plate system, with the Antarctic Plate forming both the overriding plate and the conjugate to the subducting oceanic plate, allows quantification of slab age and […]

Untangling the influence of Antarctic and Southern Ocean life on clouds
Read more of: Untangling the influence of Antarctic and Southern Ocean life on cloudsPolar environments are among the fastest changing regions on the planet. It is a crucial time to make significant improvements in our understanding of how ocean and ice biogeochemical processes […]

West Antarctic Ice Sheet Dynamics in the Amundsen Sea Sector since the Late Miocene—Tying IODP Expedition 379 Results to Seismic Data
Read more of: West Antarctic Ice Sheet Dynamics in the Amundsen Sea Sector since the Late Miocene—Tying IODP Expedition 379 Results to Seismic DataObservations of rapid ongoing grounding line retreat, ice shelf thinning and accelerated ice flow from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) may forebode a possible collapse if global temperatures continue […]

Illuminating the Living Lanterns of Antarctica
Read more of: Illuminating the Living Lanterns of AntarcticaLanternfish are a relatively small but very abundant fish. They live deep in the ocean’s “twilight” zone where there is not much light. A unique community of lanternfish live in […]

Assessing key influences on the distribution and life-history of Arctic and boreal Calanus: are online databases up to the challenge?
Read more of: Assessing key influences on the distribution and life-history of Arctic and boreal Calanus: are online databases up to the challenge?Despite the importance of calanoid copepods to healthy ecosystem functioning of the Arctic Ocean and Subarctic Seas, aspects of their biogeography, particularly in winter months, remain unresolved. At the same […]

Ice shelf basal melt sensitivity to tide‐induced mixing based on the theory of subglacial plumes
Read more of: Ice shelf basal melt sensitivity to tide‐induced mixing based on the theory of subglacial plumesTidal currents are known to influence basal melting of Antarctic ice shelves through two types of mechanisms: local processes taking place within the boundary current adjacent to the ice shelf-ocean […]

Strong Ocean Melting Feedback During the Recent Retreat of Thwaites Glacier
Read more of: Strong Ocean Melting Feedback During the Recent Retreat of Thwaites GlacierAccelerating ice loss from Thwaites Glacier is contributing approximately 5% of global sea-level rise, and could add tens of centimeters to sea level over the coming centuries. We use an […]

Palaeocene high-latitude leaf flora of Antarctica Part 2: Tooth-margined angiosperms
Read more of: Palaeocene high-latitude leaf flora of Antarctica Part 2: Tooth-margined angiospermsThe late Palaeocene (Thanetian) Cross Valley Formation on Seymour Island is one of the few floras of this age in Antarctica. Understanding the diversity is critical for comparisons with coeval […]

Stability Analysis of Ice Crystal Orientation
Read more of: Stability Analysis of Ice Crystal OrientationThe stability of ice crystal orientation is studied by modeling the air flow around ice crystals at moderate Reynolds number, where an ice crystal is approximated by a cylinder with […]
