1. Satellite image atlas of glaciers of of the world – Antarctica

   Of all the world?s continents Antarctica is the coldest, the highest, and the least known. It is one and a half times the size of the United States, and on […]

2. The development of a space climatology: 3. Models of the evolution of distributions of space weather variables with timescale

   We study how the probability distribution functions of power input to the magnetosphere Pα and of the geomagnetic ap and Dst indices vary with averaging timescale, τ, between 3 hours […]

3. Surface temperatures of albatross eggs and nests

   Knowledge of thermal traits is essential for understanding and modelling physiological responses to environmental change. Egg temperatures are poorly studied in most tubenose species. We employed a contactless infrared thermometer […]

4. Supraglacial debris thickness variability: impact on ablation and relation to terrain properties

   Shallow ground-penetrating radar (GPR) surveys are used to characterize the small-scale spatial variability of supraglacial debris thickness on a Himalayan glacier. Debris thickness varies widely over short spatial scales. Comparison […]

5. Investigating the 8.2 ka event in northwestern Madagascar: insight from data–model comparisons

   The 8.2 ka event is a well-known cooling event in the Northern Hemisphere, but is poorly understood in Madagascar. Here, we compare paleoclimate data and outputs from paleoclimate simulations to […]

6. Marine climate and hydrography of the Coralline Crag (early Pliocene, UK): isotopic evidence from 16 benthic invertebrate taxa

   The taxonomic composition of the biota of the Coralline Crag Formation (early Pliocene, eastern England) provides conflicting evidence of seawater temperature during deposition, some taxa indicating cool temperate conditions by […]

7. Contrasting phylogeographic pattern among Eudyptes penguins around the Southern Ocean

   Since at least the middle-Miocene, the Antarctic Polar Front (APF) and the Subtropical Front (STF) appear to have been the main drivers of diversification of marine biota in the Southern […]

8. Integrated analysis of intraspecific diversity in the bipolar moss Roaldia revoluta (Mitt.) P.E.A.S. Câmara & M. Carvalho-Silva (Bryophyta) in Antarctica

   The extreme conditions of life in Antarctica pose challenges to many organisms. Bryophytes comprise the main vegetation of the continent and they endure many adversities, thriving in an environment hostile […]

9. Physiological life history strategies of photobionts of lichen species from Antarctic and moderate European habitats in response to stressful conditions

   The vegetation of many terrestrial habitats across Antarctica is dominated by poikilohydric symbiotic lichens. Terrestrial habitats generally are characterised by extended exposure to desiccation and high irradiation. Physiological adaptation mechanisms […]

10. Energization of the ring current by substorms

    The substorm process releases large amounts of energy into the magnetospheric system, although where the energy is transferred to and how it is partitioned remains an open question. In this […]

12. Middle Jurassic within-plate granites in West Antarctica and their bearing on the break-up of Gondwanaland

    Five post-tectonic granitic plutons isolated within the central Ellsworth-Whitmore mountains crustal block in West Antarctica form a distinctive geochemical suite. All have some characteristics of S-type granites and are atypical […]
