Genetic diversity and connectivity of southern right whales (Eubalaena australis) found in the Brazil and Chile-Peru wintering grounds and the South Georgia (Islas Georgias del Sur) feeding ground
Read more of: Genetic diversity and connectivity of southern right whales (Eubalaena australis) found in the Brazil and Chile-Peru wintering grounds and the South Georgia (Islas Georgias del Sur) feeding groundAs species recover from exploitation, continued assessments of connectivity and population structure are warranted to provide information for conservation and management. This is particularly true in species with high dispersal […]

How climate change is affecting sea levels
Read more of: How climate change is affecting sea levelsSea level rise increases the frequency and severity of storm surges and coastal flooding, causing serious damage to critical infrastructure and leading to the displacement of coastal communities around the […]

Biodegradation of diesel oil by cold-adapted bacterial strains of Arthrobacter spp. from Antarctica
Read more of: Biodegradation of diesel oil by cold-adapted bacterial strains of Arthrobacter spp. from AntarcticaBioremediation has been proposed as a means of dealing with oil spills on the continent. However, the introduction of non-native organisms, including microbes, even for this purpose would appear to […]

The spatial flux of Earth’s meteorite falls found via Antarctic data
Read more of: The spatial flux of Earth’s meteorite falls found via Antarctic dataContemporary calculations for the flux of extraterrestrial material falling to the Earth’s surface (each event referred to as a “fall”) rely upon either short-duration fireball monitoring networks or spatially limited […]

Using ice cores and Gaussian process emulation to recover changes in the Greenland Ice Sheet during the last interglacial
Read more of: Using ice cores and Gaussian process emulation to recover changes in the Greenland Ice Sheet during the last interglacialThe shape and extent of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS) during the Last Interglacial (LIG) is a matter of controversy, with different studies proposing a wide range of reconstructions. Here, […]

An updated seabed bathymetry beneath Larsen C Ice Shelf, Antarctic Peninsula
Read more of: An updated seabed bathymetry beneath Larsen C Ice Shelf, Antarctic PeninsulaIn recent decades, rapid ice-shelf disintegration along the Antarctic Peninsula has had a global impact through enhancing outlet glacier flow, and hence sea level rise, and the freshening of Antarctic […]

Opportunistic fungi found in fairy rings are present on different moss species in the Antarctic Peninsula
Read more of: Opportunistic fungi found in fairy rings are present on different moss species in the Antarctic PeninsulaWe surveyed the distribution and diversity of fungi present in moss fairy rings from the South Shetland Islands. In the different islands accessed, the mosses Bartramia patens, Brachythecium austrosalebrosum, Bryum […]

A meeting framework for inclusive and sustainable science
Read more of: A meeting framework for inclusive and sustainable scienceThe ABCD conference format (All continents, Balanced gender, low Carbon transport, Diverse backgrounds) mixes live-streamed and pre-recorded talks with in-person ones to reflect a diverse range of viewpoints and reduce […]

A general criterion for the release of background potential energy through double diffusion
Read more of: A general criterion for the release of background potential energy through double diffusionDouble diffusion occurs when the fluid density depends on two components that diffuse at different rates (e.g. heat and salt in the ocean). Double diffusion can lead to an up-gradient […]

Preface to the Special Issue on Antarctic Meteorology and Climate: Past, Present and Future
Read more of: Preface to the Special Issue on Antarctic Meteorology and Climate: Past, Present and FutureThe Antarctic, including the continent of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, is a critically important part of the Earth system. Research in Antarctic meteorology and climate has always been a […]

Ontogenetic changes in habitat and trophic ecology of the giant Antarctic octopus Megaleledone setebos inferred from stable isotope analyses in beaks
Read more of: Ontogenetic changes in habitat and trophic ecology of the giant Antarctic octopus Megaleledone setebos inferred from stable isotope analyses in beaksThe giant Antarctic Octopus Megaleledone setebos is the largest Southern Ocean octopod whose ecology is poorly known. Here, we study ontogenetic shifts of habitat and trophic ecology of M. setebos […]
