1. The influence of Pine Island Ice Shelf calving on basal melting

   The combination of the Pine Island Ice Shelf (PIIS) draft and a seabed ridge beneath it form a topographic barrier, restricting access of warm Circumpolar Deep Water to a cavity […]

2. Ecological interactions between Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) and baleen whales in the South Sandwich Islands region – Exploring predator-prey biomass ratios

   Following the cessation of whaling, the southwest Atlantic humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) population is thought to be close to pre-exploitation size, reversing 20th century changes in abundance. Using a model-based […]

3. Unprecedented Arctic sea ice thickness loss and multiyear-ice volume export through Fram Strait during 2010-2011

   The satellite-observed sea ice thickness records from 2003 to 2020 identify an extreme sea ice thickness loss during 2010–2011. Ice thickness budget analysis demonstrates that the thickness loss was associated […]

4. The performance of the ERA-Interim and ERA5 atmospheric reanalyses over Weddell Sea pack ice

   We use meteorological measurements from three drifting buoys to evaluate the performance of the ERA-Interim and ERA5 atmospheric reanalyses from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts over the Weddell […]

5. The Ocean Plastic Incubator Chamber (OPIC) system to monitor in situ plastic degradation at sea

   Marine plastic pollution is a global and pervasive environmental issue. Knowledge on plastic degradation in natural settings is still very limited due to current technological limitations, hampering our understanding of […]

6. History of Anvers-Hugo Trough, western Antarctic Peninsula shelf, since the Last Glacial Maximum. Part I: Deglacial history based on new sedimentological and chronological data

   Reconstructing the advance and retreat of past ice sheets provides important long-term context for recent change(s) and enables us to better understand ice sheet responses to forcing mechanisms and external […]

7. Diving into the vertical dimension of elasmobranch movement ecology

   Knowledge of the three-dimensional movement patterns of elasmobranchs is vital to understand their ecological roles and exposure to anthropogenic pressures. To date, comparative studies among species at global scales have […]

8. ​Global patterns in endemicity and vulnerability of soil fungi

   Fungi are highly diverse organisms, which provide multiple ecosystem services. However, compared with charismatic animals and plants, the distribution patterns and conservation needs of fungi have been little explored. Here […]

9. Planktonic foraminifera organic carbon isotopes as archives of upper ocean carbon cycling

   The carbon cycle is a key regulator of Earth’s climate. On geological time-scales, our understanding of particulate organic matter (POM), an important upper ocean carbon pool that fuels ecosystems and […]

10. Summer surface air temperature proxies point to near-sea-ice-free conditions in the Arctic at 127 ka

    The Last Interglacial (LIG) period, which had higher summer solar insolation than today, has been suggested as the last time that Arctic summers were ice free. However, the latest suite […]

11. Compilation of Southern Ocean sea-ice records covering the last glacial-interglacial cycle (12–130 ka)

    Antarctic sea ice forms a critical part of the Southern Ocean and global climate system. The behaviour of Antarctic sea ice throughout the last glacial-interglacial (G-IG) cycle (12 000–130 000 years) allows […]

12. The dynamics of a barotropic current impinging on an ice front

    The vertical front of ice shelves represents a topographic barrier for barotropic currents that transport a considerable amount of heat towards the ice shelves. The blocking effect of the ice […]
