Zygnematophycean “glacier algae” form extensive blooms on ablating glacier surfaces despite the ultra-oligotrophic conditions apparent. Previous work has postulated that this oligotrophic bloom paradox is due to (i) lower nutrient […]
The Northeast Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS), the largest ice stream draining the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS), is losing mass at an accelerating rate due to atmospheric and ocean-driven melting. Holding […]
Katabatic winds are a key feature of the climate of Antarctica, but despite decades of extensive studies, substantial biases remain in their representation in atmospheric models. However, it is often […]
Polar ice develops anisotropic crystal orientation fabrics under deformation, yet ice is mostly modelled as an isotropic fluid. We present three-dimensional simulations of the crystal orientation fabric of Derwael Ice […]
Advancements in space-based ocean observation and computational data processing techniques have demonstrated transformative value for managing living resources, biodiversity, and ecosystems of the ocean. We synthesize advancements in leveraging satellite-derived […]
Background Exploring the dynamics of gut microbiome colonisation during early-life stages is important for understanding the potential impact of microbes on host development and fitness. Evidence from model organisms suggests […]
Multi‐spacecraft data demonstrate that intense chorus waves are excited during electron injection events that drive rapid radiation belt electron loss across a limited energy range from ∼100 to 300 keV […]
Ice crystal fabrics can exert significant rheological control on ice sheets and ice shelves, potentially softening or hardening anisotropic ice by several orders of magnitude compared to isotropic ice. We […]
In recent years, firn and summer snow cover have decreased on Alpine glaciers, exposing larger areas of ice at higher elevations. This reduces albedo and leads to increased melt. To […]
Accurate and efficient autofocusing is essential for the automation of fluorescence microscopy, but background noise and shallow depth of field at high magnifications make autofocusing particularly challenging. Here, we present […]
Rocky debris covers around 7.3 % of the global glacier area, influencing ice melt rates and the surface mass balance of glaciers, making the dynamics and hydrology of debris-covered glaciers distinct […]
The use of imaging techniques for the study of particles and plankton is a rapidly advancing field in marine sciences. The data the tools produce require automated classification solutions that […]
