Back to the Future: Using long-term observational and paleo-proxy reconstructions to improve model projections of Antarctic climate
Read more of: Back to the Future: Using long-term observational and paleo-proxy reconstructions to improve model projections of Antarctic climateQuantitative estimates of future Antarctic climate change are derived from numerical global climate models. Evaluation of the reliability of climate model projections involves many lines of evidence on past performance […]

The fossil record of durophagous predation in the James Ross Basin over the last 125 million years
Read more of: The fossil record of durophagous predation in the James Ross Basin over the last 125 million yearsWe review the evidence for predation of shelly benthic prey over 125 million years of earth history in the James Ross Basin, Antarctica (~65°S). Although poor in the Early Cretaceous […]

Subglacial hydrological control on flow of an Antarctic Peninsula palaeo-ice stream
Read more of: Subglacial hydrological control on flow of an Antarctic Peninsula palaeo-ice streamBasal hydrological systems play an important role in controlling the dynamic behaviour of ice streams. Data showing their morphology and relationship to geological substrates beneath modern ice streams are, however, […]

Elemental compositions of smectites reveal detailed sediment provenance changes during glacial and interglacial periods: The Southern Drake Passage and Bellingshausen Sea, Antarctica
Read more of: Elemental compositions of smectites reveal detailed sediment provenance changes during glacial and interglacial periods: The Southern Drake Passage and Bellingshausen Sea, AntarcticaVariations in clay mineral assemblages have been widely used to understand changes in sediment provenance during glacial and interglacial periods. Smectite clay minerals, however, have a range of various elemental […]

Subglacial geology and geomorphology of the Pensacola‐Pole Basin, East Antarctica
Read more of: Subglacial geology and geomorphology of the Pensacola‐Pole Basin, East AntarcticaThe East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) is underlain by a series of low‐lying subglacial sedimentary basins. The extent, geology and basal topography of these sedimentary basins are important boundary conditions […]

Large losses in glacier area and water availability by the end of the twenty-first century under high emission scenario, Satluj basin, Himalaya
Read more of: Large losses in glacier area and water availability by the end of the twenty-first century under high emission scenario, Satluj basin, HimalayaGlaciers in the Satluj river basin are likely to lose 53% and 81% of area by the end of the century, if climate change followed RCP 8.5 scenario of CNRMCM5 […]

Statistical characteristics of ionospheric hiss waves
Read more of: Statistical characteristics of ionospheric hiss wavesIn this study, we use the observations of electromagnetic waves by DEMETER satellite to investigate propagation characteristics of low altitude ionospheric hiss. In an event study, intense hiss wave power […]

Expression of calcification‐related ion transporters during blue mussel larval development
Read more of: Expression of calcification‐related ion transporters during blue mussel larval developmentThe physiological processes driving the rapid rates of calcification in larval bivalves are poorly understood. Here, we use a calcification substrate‐limited approach (low dissolved inorganic carbon, CT) and mRNA sequencing […]

Quantifying susceptibility of marine invertebrate biocomposites to dissolution in reduced pH
Read more of: Quantifying susceptibility of marine invertebrate biocomposites to dissolution in reduced pHOcean acidification threatens many ecologically and economically important marine calcifiers. The increase in shell dissolution under the resulting reduced pH is an important and increasingly recognized threat. The biocomposites that […]
