1. Temperature variation associated with interannual variability in abundance of juvenile Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) at South Georgia

   A detailed understanding of the life cycles of fished species in relation to their environment is important for assessing the impacts of environmental change and informing fisheries management. Here, we […]

2. Year-round spatial segregation and fisheries overlap of white-chinned petrels from multiple populations at South Georgia

   By-catch in fisheries is the leading cause of population decline in pelagic sea-birds. The white-chinned petrel (Procellaria aequinoctialis) is the most by-caught sea-bird species in the Southern Ocean, and many […]

3. Interpreting the Altimetric Radar Cross Section of Young Sea Ice

   Ku-band radar altimeters such as the one onboard CryoSat-2 measure the return-time of backscattered radar pulses to derive sea ice freeboard and thickness. This method relies on the two-way penetration […]

4. Study of Drivers of Antarctic Weather Extremes

   Over Antarctica, short-lived extremes in wind, precipitation, and near-surface temperature influence surface mass balance by affecting snow accumulation, snow redistribution, meltwater production, and ice-shelf stability. This thesis uses a combination […]

5. Dynamic instability of the Wilkes Subglacial Basin Ice Sheet, East Antarctica

   The Wilkes Subglacial Basin (WSB), a marine-based sector of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, contains enough ice to increase the global-mean sea level by 3–4 m. The geometry of the WSB […]

6. No longer polar opposites: the Arctic and the Antarctic are converging towards a seasonally dominated sea-ice regime

   Over the satellite period, Arctic and Antarctic sea ice extent seemed to follow opposite pathways. Arctic sea ice showed a strong and prolonged decrease until 2007 and then stalled in […]

9. A near miss: invasive non-indigenous mussels and barnacles transported deep into Antarctic waters [short note]

   The Southern Ocean around Antarctica remains the only large area on the planet populated by almost entirely native and mainly endemic species. Despite being one of the most constant environments […]

10. Inside-outward breakup of sea ice by locally generated waves in the Vincennes Bay Polynya

    Coastal polynyas are recurring regions of open water within sea ice that serve as sea-ice factories, producing vast amounts of new ice relative to nearby sea-ice-covered regions. Their formation and […]

11. Ice-core-dated englacial stratigraphy across Wilkes Subglacial Basin, East Antarctica: Implications for ice-sheet behaviour

    Wilkes Subglacial Basin (WSB) stores enough ice to raise global sea levels by three to four metres, and comprises a region of East Antarctica potentially vulnerable to climate-induced ice loss. […]

12. In-situ tracer percolation experiments to constrain the influence of near-surface melting on Svalbard snow signatures

    The Arctic is at the forefront of global warming. More frequent and intense rain-on-snow events during winter are altering the annual snowpack with its environmental proxy records, so that Svalbard […]
