1. The Eocene-Oligocene boundary climate transition: an Antarctic perspective

   Antarctica underwent a complex evolution over the course of the Cenozoic, which influenced the history of the Earth’s climate system. The Eocene-Oligocene boundary is a divide of this history when […]

2. Cenozoic history of Antarctic glaciation and climate from onshore and offshore studies

   The past three decades have seen a sustained and coordinated effort to refine the seismic stratigraphic framework of the Antarctic margin that has underpinned the development of numerous geological drilling […]

3. Past Antarctic ice sheet dynamics (PAIS) and implications for future sea-level change

   The legacy of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research’s (SCAR) PAIS strategic research programme includes not only breakthrough scientific discoveries, but it is also the story of a long-standing deep […]

4. Radar observations of winds, waves and tides in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere over South Georgia island (54° S, 36° W) and comparison with WACCM simulations

   The mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) is a dynamic layer of the earth’s atmosphere. This region marks the interface at which neutral atmosphere dynamics begin to influence the ionosphere and […]

5. Under pressure: Nanoplastics as a further stressor for sub-Antarctic pteropods already tackling ocean acidification [Short communication]

   In the Southern Ocean (SO), plastic debris has already been found in waters and sediments. Nanoplastics (

6. HEPPA III intercomparison experiment on electron precipitation impacts, part I: Estimated ionization rates during a geomagnetic active period in April 2010

   Precipitating auroral and radiation belt electrons are considered an important part of the natural forcing of the climate system. Recent studies suggest that this forcing is underestimated in current chemistry-climate […]

7. Airborne quantification of net methane and carbon dioxide fluxes from European Arctic wetlands in Summer 2019

   Arctic wetlands and surrounding ecosystems are both a significant source of methane (CH4) and a sink of carbon dioxide (CO2) during summer months. However, precise quantification of this regional CH4 […]

8. Is the destruction or removal of atmospheric methane a worthwhile option?

   Removing methane from the air is possible, but do the costs outweigh the benefits? This note explores the question of whether removing methane from the atmosphere is justifiable. Destruction of […]

9. The Southern Ocean Exchange: Porous boundaries between humpback whale breeding populations in southern polar waters

   Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) are a cosmopolitan species and perform long annual migrations between low-latitude breeding areas and high-latitude feeding areas. Their breeding populations appear to be spatially and genetically […]

10. Isotopic signatures of methane emissions from tropical fires, agriculture and wetlands: the MOYA and ZWAMPS flights

    We report methane isotopologue data from aircraft and ground measurements in Africa and South America. Aircraft campaigns sampled strong methane fluxes over tropical papyrus wetlands in the Nile, Congo and […]

11. Rising methane: is there a methane emergency? [Preface]

    These two volumes of the Royal Society’s Philosophical Transactions record the ‘state of methane’ in 2021. The atmospheric methane burden rose rapidly in 2020: more rapidly than at any previous […]

12. High-resolution aerosol concentration data from the Greenland NorthGRIP and NEEM deep ice cores

    Records of chemical impurities from ice cores enable us to reconstruct the past deposition of aerosols onto polar ice sheets and alpine glaciers. Through this they allow us to gain […]
