1. Coupled ice–ocean interactions during future retreat of West Antarctic ice streams in the Amundsen Sea sector

   The Amundsen Sea sector has some of the fastest-thinning ice shelves in Antarctica, caused by high, ocean-driven basal melt rates, which can lead to increased ice streamflow, causing increased sea […]

2. Genomics of cold adaptations in the Antarctic notothenioid fish radiation

   Numerous novel adaptations characterise the radiation of notothenioids, the dominant fish group in the freezing seas of the Southern Ocean. To improve understanding of the evolution of this iconic fish […]

3. Characterising ice slab in firn using seismic full waveform inversion, a sensitivity study

   The density structure of firn has implications for hydrological and climate modelling, and ice-shelf stability. The structure of firn can be evaluated from depth models of seismic velocity, widely obtained […]

4. Extreme Relativistic Electron Fluxes in GPS Orbit: Analysis of NS41 BDD‐IIR Data

   Relativistic electrons in the Earth’s outer radiation belt are a significant space weather hazard. Satellites in GPS-type orbits pass through the heart of the outer radiation belt where they may […]

5. Rafting behaviour of albatrosses and petrels at South Georgia

   Seabirds often spend time on the water in the vicinity of their breeding colonies at the start or end of foraging trips, which may be for bathing, social interaction, information […]

6. New Insights on the Precursors to the Onset of Equatorial Plasma Irregularity Generation

   This work presents some new findings in terms of the vertical propagation speeds of gravity waves in the daytime as possible precursors to the ESF. These findings have resulted from […]

7. Improving future climate prediction using palaeoclimate data: A community White Paper for consideration by the Natural Environment Research Council, UK

   This White Paper represents an outcome of “The Leverhulme Climate Symposium 2008 – Earth’s Climate: Past, Present and Future”, convened by H. Elderfield, M. Bickle, G. Allen and E. Shuckburgh, […]

8. A dynamic framework for assessing and managing risks to ecosystems from fisheries: demonstration for conserving the krill-based food web in Antarctica

   The ecosystem approach to fisheries has been discussed since the 1980s. It aims to reduce risks from fisheries to whole, or components of, ecosystems, not just to target species. Precautionary […]

9. Geological sketch map and implications for ice flow of Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica, from integrated aerogeophysical observations

   The geology beneath Thwaites Glacier, the Antarctic glacial catchment most vulnerable to climate change, is unknown. Thwaites Glacier lies within the West Antarctic Rift System, but details of the subglacial […]

10. Potential impacts of Antarctic bioprospecting and associated commercial activities upon Antarctic science and scientists

    The Antarctic Treaty and associated agreements have little to say specifically on bioprospecting activities within the Treaty area. Consequently, Antarctic bioprospecting has elicited much debate within the Antarctic community, particularly […]
