Estimating Storm‐Time Maximum Fluxes of Outer Radiation Belt Electrons: Combining Van Allen Probes and GPS Satellite Observations
Read more of: Estimating Storm‐Time Maximum Fluxes of Outer Radiation Belt Electrons: Combining Van Allen Probes and GPS Satellite ObservationsThe Earth’s outer radiation belt contains highly energetic electrons, also known as “killer electrons”, which can pose a damage to the Earth-orbiting satellites. It is of great importance to understand […]

New Folsomotoma species (Collembola) found on Byers Peninsula, Livingston Island, South Shetland Islands
Read more of: New Folsomotoma species (Collembola) found on Byers Peninsula, Livingston Island, South Shetland IslandsHere we describe a new springtail species found on Byers Peninsula, Livingston Island. The new species, Folsomotoma punctata, is known from sub-Antarctic South Georgia, but this is a first occurrence […]

Diatom lipids open window to past ocean temperatures in the polar regions
Read more of: Diatom lipids open window to past ocean temperatures in the polar regionsSea surface temperature is a key indicator of climate change on Earth and is central to all related modelling endeavours. However, sea surface temperature is notoriously difficult to reconstruct accurately […]

Putative drivers of maritime Antarctic soil resistomes in the early 21st century: A baseline for monitoring environmental change and human influence
Read more of: Putative drivers of maritime Antarctic soil resistomes in the early 21st century: A baseline for monitoring environmental change and human influenceAntibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are present in all ecosystems and encode the defences that microorganisms have naturally evolved to defend themselves against antimicrobial agents. The use and synthesis of antibiotics […]

Informing krill fishery management through modelling spatial distribution and diet of a major krill predator, mackerel icefish ( Champsocephalus gunnari ), at South Georgia
Read more of: Informing krill fishery management through modelling spatial distribution and diet of a major krill predator, mackerel icefish ( Champsocephalus gunnari ), at South GeorgiaDemersal fish are a critical component of Antarctic marine ecosystems and may consume large quantities of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), placing them at risk from competition with commercial krill fishing. […]

Differential interspecific responses of symbiotic luminous bacteria Vibrio spp. in a cephalopod host to marine heatwaves
Read more of: Differential interspecific responses of symbiotic luminous bacteria Vibrio spp. in a cephalopod host to marine heatwavesBobtail squids from the genera Sepiola spp. are known for their association with the bioluminescent bacteria Vibrio fischeri and V. logei. Although the ecology and behaviour of the bobtail squids […]

Modelled dynamics of floating and grounded icebergs, with application to the Amundsen Sea
Read more of: Modelled dynamics of floating and grounded icebergs, with application to the Amundsen SeaIcebergs that ground on the submarine Bear Ridge in the Amundsen Sea are known to block the drift of sea ice, playing a crucial role in maintaining shelf sea ocean […]

Ecological processes shaping Antarctic terrestrial biodiversity change
Read more of: Ecological processes shaping Antarctic terrestrial biodiversity changeAntarctica’s compositionally and functionally unusual biodiversity is typically neglected in global biodiversity analyses, and ecological theory is rarely applied in the Antarctic context. These omissions mean that predictions of the […]

A Deep Learning Approach to Detecting Atmospheric Rivers in the Arctic
Read more of: A Deep Learning Approach to Detecting Atmospheric Rivers in the ArcticThe Arctic is warming rapidly, with atmospheric rivers (ARs) amplifying ice melt, extreme precipitation, and abrupt temperature shifts. Detecting ARs in the Arctic remains challenging, because AR detection algorithms designed […]

Features of interest from a multi-season satellite survey of baleen whales on the West Antarctic Peninsula
Read more of: Features of interest from a multi-season satellite survey of baleen whales on the West Antarctic PeninsulaThe application of very high-resolution satellite imagery for the purpose of studying wildlife, particularly in remote regions, has gained significant traction in recent years. With this, there has been an […]
