A preliminary study of benthic diatoms in contrasting lake environments
Read more of: A preliminary study of benthic diatoms in contrasting lake environmentsEleven of the 17 freshwater lakes from Signy Island, South Orkney Islands, Antarctica were sampled by snorkel divers. A list of diatom taxa identified from benthic samples is presented. Most […]

The feeding ecology of larval fish in an Antarctic fjord, with emphasis on Champsocephalus gunnari
Read more of: The feeding ecology of larval fish in an Antarctic fjord, with emphasis on Champsocephalus gunnariThe vertical distribution of five species of fish larvae and their prey species was studied in late winter and summer at Cumberland East Bay, South Georgia. Prey type varied between […]

Deformation in an accretionary melange, Alexander Island, Antarctica
Read more of: Deformation in an accretionary melange, Alexander Island, AntarcticaAlexander Island contains several belts of melange in a wide accretionary complex. One melange belt in the northwest of the island incorporates both oceanic and trench-fill material. It evolved by […]

The springtime influence of natural tropical Pacific variability on the surface climate of the Ross Ice Shelf, West Antarctica: implications for ice shelf thinning
Read more of: The springtime influence of natural tropical Pacific variability on the surface climate of the Ross Ice Shelf, West Antarctica: implications for ice shelf thinningObservational records starting in the 1950s show West Antarctica is amongst the most rapidly warming regions on the planet. Together with increased intrusions of warm circumpolar deep water (CDW) onto […]

Diurnal cycle of coastal anthropogenic pollutant transport over southern West Africa during the DACCIWA campaign
Read more of: Diurnal cycle of coastal anthropogenic pollutant transport over southern West Africa during the DACCIWA campaignDuring the monsoon season, pollutants emitted by large coastal cities and biomass burning plumes originating from Central Africa have complex transport pathways over Southern West Africa (SWA). The Dynamics–Aerosol–Chemistry–Cloud–Interactions in […]

A 2000-year record of ocean influence on Jakobshavn Isbræ calving activity, based on marine sediment cores
Read more of: A 2000-year record of ocean influence on Jakobshavn Isbræ calving activity, based on marine sediment coresThe Greenland Ice Sheet has experienced significant mass loss in recent years. A substantial component of this is attributable to the retreat of marine-terminating outlet glaciers, which lose mass through […]

Strong whistler mode waves observed in the vicinity of Jupiter’s moons
Read more of: Strong whistler mode waves observed in the vicinity of Jupiter’s moonsUnderstanding of wave environments is critical for the understanding of how particles are accelerated and lost in space. This study shows that in the vicinity of Europa and Ganymede, that […]

Basal melt and freezing rates from first noble gas samples beneath an ice shelf
Read more of: Basal melt and freezing rates from first noble gas samples beneath an ice shelfA climatically‐induced acceleration in ocean‐driven melting of Antarctic ice shelves would have consequences for both the discharge of continental ice into the ocean and thus global sea level, and for […]

Habitat use of adult male South American fur seals and a preliminary assessment of spatial overlap with trawl fisheries in the South Atlantic
Read more of: Habitat use of adult male South American fur seals and a preliminary assessment of spatial overlap with trawl fisheries in the South AtlanticLittle is known about the movement ecology of male South American fur seals (SAFS; Arctocephalus australis). To begin to address knowledge gaps we used satellite telemetry to track four adult […]

Tailward propagation of magnetic energy density variations With respect to substorm onset times
Read more of: Tailward propagation of magnetic energy density variations With respect to substorm onset timesDuring geomagnetic substorms, around 1015 J of energy is extracted from the solar wind and processed by the Earth’s magnetosphere. Prior to the onset of substorm expansion phases, this energy […]

Glacier change along West Antarctica’s Marie Byrd Land Sector and links to inter-decadal atmosphere–ocean variability
Read more of: Glacier change along West Antarctica’s Marie Byrd Land Sector and links to inter-decadal atmosphere–ocean variabilityOver the past 20 years satellite remote sensing has captured significant downwasting of glaciers that drain the West Antarctic Ice Sheet into the ocean, particularly across the Amundsen Sea Sector.
