1. Successful deployment of a large uncrewed aerial vehicle for multidisciplinary science from Rothera Research Station, Antarctica: 2024 season overview and lessons learned

   Airborne investigations are a keystone for understanding the Antarctic environment across many scientific disciplines. Over the past decade and more, the use of drones has been proposed as a means […]

2. The Genomic Signature of Demographic Decline in a Long-Distance Migrant in a Range-Extreme Population

   Migratory birds are inherently vagile, a strategy that may reduce the impacts of habitat loss and fragmentation on genetic diversity. However, specialist resource requirements and range-edge distribution can counteract these […]

3. Sensitivity of near-surface marine winds and wind stress in coastal Antarctica to regional atmospheric model configuration

   Near-surface marine winds in coastal Antarctica have global importance, as they affect ocean circulation and sea-ice variability. We test the sensitivities of simulated near-surface winds and wind stress in coastal […]

4. Implementing Geomagnetically Induced Currents Mitigation During the May 2024 “Gannon” G5 Storm: Research Informed Response by the New Zealand Power Network

   In early May 2024 ∼6 Coronal Mass Ejections were launched toward the Earth in shortsuccession. This triggered the G5 “Gannon” geomagnetic storm lasting from ∼17 UT on 10 May 2024 […]

5. Multiple sources of atmospheric CO2 activated by AMOC recovery at the onset of interglacial MIS 9

   Using high-precision ice core measurements of CO 2 , δ 13 C–CO 2 , CH 4 , and N 2 O, this study provides carbon isotope constraints on a sizeable, […]

6. Radiosonde Measurements and Polar WRF Simulations of Low-Level Wind Jets in the Amundsen Sea Embayment, West Antarctica

   We show that low-level jets (LLJs) occurred in 11 out of 22 radiosonde profiles in late austral summer over the coastal region of the Amundsen Sea Embayment, with ten of […]

7. Antarctic glaciers export carbon-stabilised iron(II)-rich particles to the surface Southern Ocean

   Iron is an essential micronutrient for phytoplankton and plays an integral role in the marine carbon cycle. The supply and bioavailability of iron are therefore important modulators of climate over […]

8. Potential for microbial plastic degradation via assimilation of non-carbon moieties in additives

   Additives such as stabilizers, plasticizers, and fillers are commonly used in relatively small amounts to enhance the structure of plastics. Notably, some of these additives, including moieties of compounds containing […]

9. ​​Skin, but not gut, microbial communities vary with social density in Antarctic fur seals

   Comparative studies of microbial communities occupying different body sites in wild vertebrates are scarce, but they are crucial for advancing our understanding of the ecological and evolutionary factors shaping animal […]

10. Fungal diversity present in ornithogenic soils of extreme equatorial Atlantic São Pedro and São Paulo archipelago using DNA metabarcoding

    We evaluated the fungal diversity present in ornithogenically-influenced soils of the polyextreme Brazilian Archipelago of São Pedro and São Paulo, using a DNA metabarcoding approach. We detected 1,596,919 fungal DNA […]

12. AI sea ice forecasts for Arctic conservation: A case study predicting the timing of caribou sea ice migrations

    Every autumn on the south coast of Victoria Island (Nunavut, Canada), endangered Dolphin and Union (DU) caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus x pearyi) wait for sea ice to form before continuing […]
