Blue carbon on polar and subpolar seabeds
When marine organisms eat and grow they capture and store carbon, termed blue carbon. Polar seas have extreme light climates and sea temperatures. Their continental shelves have amongst the most […]

The physical properties of quartz-micaschist and their application to freeze-thaw weathering studies in the maritime antarctic
Read more of: The physical properties of quartz-micaschist and their application to freeze-thaw weathering studies in the maritime antarcticAs part of a study on freeze‐thaw weathering in the maritime Antarctic an investigation was made of the physical properties of the local rock. Tests were made of point‐load compressive […]

Continental magnetic anomalies and the evolution of the Scotia arc
Read more of: Continental magnetic anomalies and the evolution of the Scotia arcLinear belts 50–100 km in width of long-wavelength positive magnetic anomalies exceeding 500 nT are observed on continental blocks of the Scotia arc. The most developed is the West Coast […]

Thicker shells compensate extensive dissolution in brachiopods under future ocean acidification
Read more of: Thicker shells compensate extensive dissolution in brachiopods under future ocean acidificationOrganisms with long generation times require phenotypic plasticity to survive in changing environments until genetic adaptation can be achieved. Marine calcifiers are particularly vulnerable to ocean acidification due to dissolution […]

The role of lithospheric flexure in the landscape evolution of the Wilkes Subglacial Basin and Transantarctic Mountains, East Antarctica
Read more of: The role of lithospheric flexure in the landscape evolution of the Wilkes Subglacial Basin and Transantarctic Mountains, East AntarcticaReconstructions of the bedrock topography of Antarctica since the Eocene‐Oligocene Boundary (approximately 34 Ma) provide important constraints for modeling Antarctic ice sheet evolution. This is particularly important in regions where […]

Lithospheric extension on the Antarctic Peninsula during Cenozoic subduction
Read more of: Lithospheric extension on the Antarctic Peninsula during Cenozoic subductionThe magmatic arc of the Antarctic Peninsula displays a wide range of features related to extensional tectonics at a convergent margin. Cenozoic extensional features are concentrated in a linear belt […]

Solar radiation transmitted to the ground through cloud in relation to surface albedo
Read more of: Solar radiation transmitted to the ground through cloud in relation to surface albedoThe global solar radiation received at the earth’s surface in the presence of cloud depends not only on the optical depth of the cloud and its other physical properties, but […]
