The Response of Ice Sheets to Climate Variability
West Antarctic Ice Sheet loss is a significant contributor to sea level rise. While the ice loss is thought to be triggered by fluctuations in oceanic heat at the ice […]

Does Strong Tropospheric Forcing Cause Large-Amplitude Mesospheric Gravity Waves? A DEEPWAVE Case Study
Read more of: Does Strong Tropospheric Forcing Cause Large-Amplitude Mesospheric Gravity Waves? A DEEPWAVE Case StudyOn 4 July 2014, during the Deep Propagating Gravity Wave Experiment (DEEPWAVE), strong low-level horizontal winds of up to 35 m s−1 over the Southern Alps, New Zealand, caused the […]

BedMachine v3: Complete Bed Topography and Ocean Bathymetry Mapping of Greenland From Multibeam Echo Sounding Combined With Mass Conservation
Read more of: BedMachine v3: Complete Bed Topography and Ocean Bathymetry Mapping of Greenland From Multibeam Echo Sounding Combined With Mass ConservationGreenland’s bed topography is a primary control on ice flow, grounding line migration, calving dynamics, and subglacial drainage. Moreover, fjord bathymetry regulates the penetration of warm Atlantic water (AW) that […]

Cyclone-induced surface ozone and HDO depletion in the Arctic
Read more of: Cyclone-induced surface ozone and HDO depletion in the ArcticGround-based, satellite, and reanalysis datasets were used to identify two similar cyclone-induced surface ozone depletion events at Eureka, Canada (80.1° N, 86.4° W), in March 2007 and April 2011. These two events […]

Oceanic swarms of Antarctic krill perform satiation sinking
Read more of: Oceanic swarms of Antarctic krill perform satiation sinkingAntarctic krill form some of the highest concentrations of animal biomass observed in the world’s oceans potentially due to their prolific ability to swarm. Determining the movement of Antarctic krill […]

Contribution of deformation to sea-ice mass balance: a case study from an N-ICE2015 storm
Read more of: Contribution of deformation to sea-ice mass balance: a case study from an N-ICE2015 stormThe fastest and most efficient process of gaining sea ice volume is through the mechanical redistribution of mass as a consequence of deformation events. During the ice growth season divergent […]

Left in the cold? Evolutionary origin of Laternula elliptica a keystone bivalve species of Antarctic benthos
Read more of: Left in the cold? Evolutionary origin of Laternula elliptica a keystone bivalve species of Antarctic benthosThe large, burrowing bivalve Laternula elliptica is an abundant component of shallow-water soft-substrate communities around Antarctica but its congeners are temperate and tropical in distribution and their phylogenetic relationships are […]
