Global maps of soil temperature
Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic grids […]

How do we best synergize climate mitigation actions to co-benefit biodiversity?
Read more of: How do we best synergize climate mitigation actions to co-benefit biodiversity?A multitude of actions to protect, sustainably manage and restore natural and modified ecosystems can have co-benefits for both climate mitigation and biodiversity conservation. Reducing greenhouse emissions to limit warming […]

Radar derived subglacial properties and landforms beneath Rutford Ice Stream, West Antarctica
Read more of: Radar derived subglacial properties and landforms beneath Rutford Ice Stream, West AntarcticaBasal properties beneath ice streams and glaciers are known to be a control for ice flow dynamics, hence knowledge of them is crucial for predicting sea level due to changes […]

Ocean mixing: oceanography at a watershed
Read more of: Ocean mixing: oceanography at a watershedOcean mixing exerts a fundamental influence across many elements of the Earth system, including circulation, planetary-scale climate and the ecosystem. Despite wide recognition of this importance today, research into ocean […]

Climate mitigation through biological conservation: Extensive and valuable blue carbon natural capital in Tristan da Cunha’s giant Marine Protected Zone
Read more of: Climate mitigation through biological conservation: Extensive and valuable blue carbon natural capital in Tristan da Cunha’s giant Marine Protected ZoneCarbon-rich habitats can provide powerful climate mitigation if meaningful protection is put in place. We attempted to quantify this around the Tristan da Cunha archipelago Marine Protected Area. Its shallows […]

Richness, growth, and persistence of life under an Antarctic ice shelf
Read more of: Richness, growth, and persistence of life under an Antarctic ice shelfWhere polar ice sheets meet the coast, they can flow into the sea as floating ice shelves. The seabed underneath is in complete darkness, and may be Earth’s least known […]

Stepping stones towards Antarctica: Switch to southern spawning grounds explains an abrupt range shift in krill
Read more of: Stepping stones towards Antarctica: Switch to southern spawning grounds explains an abrupt range shift in krillPoleward range shifts are a global-scale response to warming, but these vary greatly among taxa and are hard to predict for individual species, localized regions or over shorter (years to […]
