1. Implications of the recent loss of Antarctic sea ice for phytoplankton and summer feeding habitats of salps and krill

   Antarctic sea ice showed a profound, step-wise reduction around 2016-2017, but the scarcity of modern time series means that we know very little about how Southern Ocean biota have responded. […]

2. Genomic analyses reveal trans-generational haul out site fidelity in leopard seals

   As top predators, leopard seals (Hydrurga leptonyx) have a key role in Southern Ocean ecosystems. For example, this species has driven the local collapse of Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella) […]

3. Variability in foraging ranges of snow petrels and implications for breeding distribution and use of stomach-oil deposits as proxies for paleoclimate

   Background: Pelagic seabirds forage over vast areas, and their movements and diet provide valuable insights into environmental conditions that are otherwise difficult to observe. Snow petrels Pagodroma nivea forage largely […]

4. Scratching beyond the surface: examining macroecological patterns in avian eggshell texture

   The surface texture of bird eggshells differs remarkably between species and is thought to play a substantial role in providing physical and microbial protection for the developing embryo. We used […]

5. Brief communication: Sharp precipitation gradient on the southern edge of the Tibetan Plateau during cold season

   The Tibetan Plateau is a high-altitude arid region, where limited in-situ precipitation measurements are available. In this communication, we document a strong precipitation gradient at the southern edge of the […]

6. The Impact of Mixed-Phase Cloud Processes on Simulating Southern Ocean Clouds and Their Radiative Effect

   Over the Southern Ocean, atmospheric and climate models have large biases in their radiative fluxes, primarily caused by the representation of supercooled liquid and mixed-phase low-level clouds, both at the […]

7. Age of granitoid magmatism in South Georgia and correlations to southern Patagonia and the northern Antarctic Peninsula

   South Georgia forms one of the most isolated fragments of continental crust on Earth and lies in a remote location in the Southern Ocean. Its geology is dominated by Early […]

8. Essential Biodiversity Variables Framework for Terrestrial Antarctic and Sub-Antarctic Ecosystems [workshop report]

   This report presents outcomes from the international workshop “Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBV) Framework for Terrestrial Antarctic and Sub-Antarctic Ecosystems,” held in Cambridge, UK, from 18–20 September 2024, with significant online […]

9. Antarctic and Arctic Seaweeds: Reassessing Diversity, Ecophysiological Adaptations, Connections and Changes in Biogeographical Distribution as a Survival Strategy Facing Meteorological and Oceanographic Changes

   Diversity, distribution and biogeographical aspects of polar macroalgae must be reassessed as they face contemporary environmental changes. Macroalgae are the basis of the marine food web, efficient carbon sinks, biogenic […]

10. Solar Wind and Geomagnetic Conditions That Lead to the Largest Relativistic Electron Fluxes in GPS Orbit

    Relativistic electrons are an important space weather hazard, being a major source of radiation damage to satellites and posing a risk to humans in space. We use approximately 20 years […]

11. age_flow_line-1.0: a fast and accurate numerical age model for a pseudo-steady flow tube of an ice sheet [Model description paper]

    Numerical age models are useful tools for investigating the age of the ice in an ice sheet. They can be used to date ice cores or to interpret isochronal horizons […]

12. Vulnerability of marine megafauna to global at‐sea anthropogenic threats

    Marine megafauna species are affected by a wide range of anthropogenic threats. To evaluate the risk of such threats, species’ vulnerability to each threat must first be determined. We build […]
