1. The annual salinity cycle of the Denmark Strait Overflow

   The Denmark Strait Overflow (DSO) is an important source of dense water input to the deep limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. It is fed by separate currents from […]

2. Demographic reconstruction of Antarctic fur seals supports the krill surplus hypothesis

   Much debate surrounds the importance of top-down and bottom-up effects in the Southern Ocean, where the harvesting of over two million whales in the mid twentieth century is thought to […]

3. Microhabitats: macro-differences. A survey of temperature records in Victoria Land terrestrial and freshwater environments

   The temperature experienced by micro-invertebrates in extreme environments (such as those of Antarctica) is a pivotal parameter regarding these animals’ ecology and physiology. However, at present, detailed knowledge of microhabitat […]

4. Knowledge priorities on climate change and water in the Upper Indus Basin: a horizon scanning exercise to identify the top 100 research questions in social and natural sciences

   River systems originating from the Upper Indus Basin (UIB) are dominated by runoff from snow and glacier melt and summer monsoonal rainfall. These water resources are highly stressed as huge […]

5. Depth and latitudinal gradients of diversity in seamount benthic communities

   Latitudinal and bathymetric species diversity gradients in the deep sea have been identified, but studies have rarely considered these gradients across hard substratum habitats, such as seamount and oceanic island […]

6. The effect of environmental factors on shell growth and repair in Buccinum undatum

   The processes and factors which affect shell growth and repair in molluscs are poorly understood. In this study, the capabilities of shell growth and repair in the marine gastropod Buccinum […]

7. Record low sea ice extent in the Weddell Sea, Antarctica in April/May 2019 driven by intense and explosive polar cyclones

   Sea ice extent (SIE) in the Weddell Sea attained exceptionally low levels in April (1.97 million km2) and May (3.06 million km2) 2019, with the values being ~22% below the long-term mean. Using in-situ, […]

8. The Radiative Effect on Cloud Microphysics from the Arctic to the Tropics

   Cloud representation is one of the largest uncertainties in the current weather and climate models. In this article, the observations and modeling of the radiative effect on (cloud) microphysics (REM) […]

9. Role of hard X-ray emission in ionospheric D-layer disturbances during solar flares

   Any disturbance of the ionosphere may affect operational activities based on HF communication. The electron density is a critical parameter that controls levels of HF-signal absorption. A significant part of […]

10. On the phenology and seeding potential of sea-ice microalgal species

    Sea ice is an important habitat for a wide variety of microalgal species. Depending on the species composition, sea ice can be a seeding source for pelagic phytoplankton blooms after […]

12. Tree-rings reveal two strong solar proton events in 7176 and 5259 BCE

    The Sun sporadically produces eruptive events leading to intense fluxes of solar energetic particles (SEPs) that dramatically disrupt the near-Earth radiation environment. Such events have been directly studied for the […]
