Simulated winter warming negatively impacts survival of Antarctica’s only endemic insect
Read more of: Simulated winter warming negatively impacts survival of Antarctica’s only endemic insect1. Antarctic winters are challenging for terrestrial invertebrates, and species that live there have specialised adaptations to conserve energy and protect against cold injury in the winter. However, rapidly occurring […]

Status, change, and futures of zooplankton in the Southern Ocean
Read more of: Status, change, and futures of zooplankton in the Southern OceanIn the Southern Ocean, several zooplankton taxonomic groups, euphausiids, copepods, salps and pteropods, are notable because of their biomass and abundance and their roles in maintaining food webs and ecosystem […]

Biomass Turnover Rates in Metabolically Active and Inactive Marine Calanoid Copepods
Read more of: Biomass Turnover Rates in Metabolically Active and Inactive Marine Calanoid CopepodsLipid-storing copepods are fundamental to the functioning of marine ecosystems, transferring energy from primary producers to higher trophic levels and sequestering atmospheric carbon (C) in the deep ocean. Quantifying trophic […]

Towards incorporation of blue carbon in Falkland Islands marine spatial planning: a multi-tiered approach
Read more of: Towards incorporation of blue carbon in Falkland Islands marine spatial planning: a multi-tiered approachEcosystem-based conservation that includes carbon sinks, alongside a linked carbon credit system, as part of a nature-based solution to combating climate change, could help reduce greenhouse gas levels and therefore […]

Analysis of migrating and non-migrating tides of the Extended Unified Model in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere
Read more of: Analysis of migrating and non-migrating tides of the Extended Unified Model in the mesosphere and lower thermosphereAtmospheric tides play a key role in coupling the lower, middle, and upper atmosphere/ionosphere. The tides reach large amplitudes in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT), where they can have […]

The International Bathymetric Chart of the Southern Ocean Version 2
Read more of: The International Bathymetric Chart of the Southern Ocean Version 2The Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica is a region that is key to a range of climatic and oceanographic processes with worldwide effects, and is characterised by high biological productivity and […]

Relative sea-level data preclude major late Holocene ice-mass change in Pine Island Bay
Read more of: Relative sea-level data preclude major late Holocene ice-mass change in Pine Island BayThe rapidly retreating Thwaites and Pine Island glaciers together dominate present-day ice loss from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and are implicated in runaway deglaciation scenarios. Knowledge of whether these […]

New 10Be ages improve Holocene ice sheet thinning history near the grounding line of Pope Glacier, Antarctica
Read more of: New 10Be ages improve Holocene ice sheet thinning history near the grounding line of Pope Glacier, AntarcticaEvidence for the timing and pace of past grounding line retreat of the Thwaites Glacier system in the Amundsen Sea embayment (ASE) of Antarctica provides constraints for models that are […]

Stable silicon isotopes uncover a mineralogical control on the benthic silicon cycle in the Arctic Barents Sea
Read more of: Stable silicon isotopes uncover a mineralogical control on the benthic silicon cycle in the Arctic Barents SeaBiogeochemical cycling of silicon (Si) in the Barents Sea is under considerable pressure from physical and chemical changes, including dramatic warming and sea ice retreat, together with a decline in […]

Blinded by the light – Seabird collision events in South Georgia
Read more of: Blinded by the light – Seabird collision events in South GeorgiaLight-induced bird strikes on vessels occur frequently in association with areas of high seabird density, often resulting in bird mortalities. These incidents are poorly understood and likely under-reported by vessels. […]
