Mean Kinetic Energy and Its Projected Changes Dominate Over Eddy Kinetic Energy in the Arctic Ocean
Read more of: Mean Kinetic Energy and Its Projected Changes Dominate Over Eddy Kinetic Energy in the Arctic OceanAs sea ice retreats in a warming climate, the Arctic Ocean is becoming more energetic; yet little is known about this additional energy’s distribution in the water column. We use […]

Spatial Characteristics and Dynamic Mechanisms of the Antarctic Slope Current in the Ross Sea
Read more of: Spatial Characteristics and Dynamic Mechanisms of the Antarctic Slope Current in the Ross SeaCoupled with the Antarctic Slope Front (ASF), the Antarctic Slope Current (ASC) mostly encircles Antarctica and has variable structures. Two regimes of the ASC/ASF have been identified in the Ross […]

Breeding bird species richness and sensitivity to disturbance at Antarctic visitor sites
Read more of: Breeding bird species richness and sensitivity to disturbance at Antarctic visitor sitesTourism in Antarctica is increasing rapidly and is concentrated predominantly in ice-free areas in the Antarctic Peninsula region, an area that holds globally important colonies of breeding birds. Since 2005, […]

Datasets and protocols for including anomalous freshwater from melting ice sheets in climate simulations [Development and technical paper]
Read more of: Datasets and protocols for including anomalous freshwater from melting ice sheets in climate simulations [Development and technical paper]Anomalous freshwater fluxes from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets and ice shelves are impacting the surrounding oceans, and we need to be able to account for these effects in […]

Ocean mixing and heat transport beneath Antarctic ice shelves
Read more of: Ocean mixing and heat transport beneath Antarctic ice shelvesOcean-driven melting of floating ice shelves is currently the main process controlling Antarctica’s contribution to sea level rise. However, despite major advances in the study of ice shelf-ocean interaction over […]

A Pilot Investigation of the Hidden Communities Associated With Dryas octopetala L. (Rosaceae) in Svalbard Using DNA Metabarcoding
Read more of: A Pilot Investigation of the Hidden Communities Associated With Dryas octopetala L. (Rosaceae) in Svalbard Using DNA MetabarcodingDryas octopetala is one of the most important botanical components of Arctic tundra. In parts of the Norwegian High Arctic Archipelago of Svalbard it can face strong grazing pressure, in […]

The OCEAN ICE mooring compilation: a standardised, pan-Antarctic database of ocean hydrography and current time series [Data description paper]
Read more of: The OCEAN ICE mooring compilation: a standardised, pan-Antarctic database of ocean hydrography and current time series [Data description paper]Continuous moored time series of temperature, salinity, pressure and current speed and direction are of great importance for understanding the continental shelf and under-ice-shelf dynamics and thermodynamics that govern water […]

Ecogeographical Diversity and Dry Season Changes Along the Mainstream Mekong River in Thailand, Laos and Cambodia
Read more of: Ecogeographical Diversity and Dry Season Changes Along the Mainstream Mekong River in Thailand, Laos and CambodiaThe Mekong River is experiencing dramatic hydrological and sediment transport changes, largely due to the development of hydropower dams, both on its mainstream and tributaries. We ask, “how well do […]
