Lipid in an arctic food chain: Calanus, Bolinopsis, Beroe
Read more of: Lipid in an arctic food chain: Calanus, Bolinopsis, BeroeThe zooplankton of the fjords of Svalbard in late summer is dominated by copepodites of Calanus glacialis (JASCHNOV). These are consumed by, among others, the lobate ctenophore Bolinopsis infundibulum (O.F. […]

Energy flow in growth and production
Read more of: Energy flow in growth and productionGrowth involves two flows of energy: the chemical energy in the monomers used to construct the macromolecules that comprise tissue (proteins, nucleic acids, lipid membranes), and the metabolic energy used […]

ATAT 1.1, the Automated Timing Accordance Tool for comparing ice-sheet model output with geochronological data
Read more of: ATAT 1.1, the Automated Timing Accordance Tool for comparing ice-sheet model output with geochronological dataEarth’s extant ice sheets are of great societal importance given their ongoing and potential future contributions to sea-level rise. Numerical models of ice sheets are designed to simulate ice-sheet behaviour […]

How well can we estimate Pedersen conductance from the THEMIS white-light all-sky cameras?
Read more of: How well can we estimate Pedersen conductance from the THEMIS white-light all-sky cameras?We show that a THEMIS (Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms) white‐light all‐sky imager (ASI) can estimate Pedersen conductance with an uncertainty of 3 mho or 40%.

New recombinant cold-adapted and organic solvent tolerant lipase from psychrophilic Pseudomonas sp. LSK25, isolated from Signy Island Antarctica
Read more of: New recombinant cold-adapted and organic solvent tolerant lipase from psychrophilic Pseudomonas sp. LSK25, isolated from Signy Island AntarcticaIn recent years, studies on psychrophilic lipases have become an emerging area of research in the field of enzymology. The study described here focuses on the cold-adapted organic solvent tolerant […]

Constraining recent ice flow history at Korff Ice Rise, West Antarctica, using radar and seismic measurements of ice fabric
Read more of: Constraining recent ice flow history at Korff Ice Rise, West Antarctica, using radar and seismic measurements of ice fabricThe crystal orientation fabric of ice reflects its flow history, information which is required to better constrain projections of future ice sheet behavior. Here we present a novel combination of […]
