West Antarctica and future sea-level rise: a workshop to identify priorities for research and collaboration in West Antarctica; Royal Society, London 3rd and 4th March 2016
Read more of: West Antarctica and future sea-level rise: a workshop to identify priorities for research and collaboration in West Antarctica; Royal Society, London 3rd and 4th March 2016Since the 1990s, satellites have shown accelerating ice-loss driven by ocean change in the neighbouring glacier basins that drain more than one-third of West Antarctica into the Amundsen Sea. The […]

Fungal diversity in Antarctic lignocellulosic substrates and their production of enzymes and lipids with potential industrial applications
Read more of: Fungal diversity in Antarctic lignocellulosic substrates and their production of enzymes and lipids with potential industrial applicationsAntarctica is characterized by extreme conditions including low temperatures, strong winds, desiccation, high UV radiation, high salinity, freeze-thaw cycles and pH variations. As a result, the resident diversity is dominated […]

Extensive fluvial surfaces at the East Antarctic margin have modulated ice-sheet evolution
Read more of: Extensive fluvial surfaces at the East Antarctic margin have modulated ice-sheet evolutionAntarctic bed topography influences how the overlying ice sheet responds to climate change and provides a record of long-term glacial history. However, knowledge of the processes that governed the development […]

Marine communities do not follow the paradigm of increasing similarity through time
Read more of: Marine communities do not follow the paradigm of increasing similarity through timeHumans have transformed ecosystems through habitat modification, harvesting, species introduction, and climate change. Changes in species distribution and composition are often thought to induce biotic homogenization, defined as an increase […]
