1. Poleward displacement of the Southern Hemisphere Westerlies in response to Early Holocene warming

   Recent intensification of the Southern Hemisphere Westerlies has resulted in important changes to ocean circulation, Antarctic ice shelf stability and precipitation regimes in the continents abutting the Southern Ocean. Efforts […]

2. The role of substrate characteristics and temperature for potential non-native plant establishment in Maritime Antarctic ecosystems

   Polar ecosystems are threatened by non-native plants, and this risk will increase with climate warming. Non-native plant growth depends on Antarctic environmental conditions and substrates, but these influences are poorly […]

3. Environmental DNA reveals fine‐scale spatial and temporal variation of marine mammals and their prey species in a Scottish marine protected area

   Marine mammal foraging grounds are popular focal points for marine protected area (MPA) implementation, despite being temporally dynamic, requiring continuous monitoring to infer prey availability and abundance. Marine mammal distributions […]

4. Little evidence of inbreeding depression for birth mass, survival and growth in Antarctic fur seal pups

   Inbreeding depression, the loss of offspring fitness due to consanguineous mating, is generally detrimental for individual performance and population viability. We investigated inbreeding effects in a declining population of Antarctic […]

5. Mid-Holocene sea-ice dynamics and climate in the northeastern Weddell Sea inferred from an Antarctic snow petrel stomach oil deposit

   Understanding past variability in Antarctic sea ice is of critical importance to determine how it regulates global climate processes, biogeochemistry, and Southern Ocean marine ecosystems. Records of changes in Holocene […]

6. Observations of high-time-resolution and size-resolved aerosol chemical composition and microphysics in the central Arctic: implications for climate-relevant particle properties

   Aerosols play a critical role in the Arctic’s radiative balance, influencing solar radiation and cloud formation. Limited observations in the central Arctic leave gaps in understanding aerosol dynamics year-round, affecting […]

7. Key drivers of large scale changes in North Atlantic atmospheric and oceanic circulations and their predictability

   Significant changes have occurred during the last few decades across the North Atlantic climate system, including in the atmosphere, ocean, and cryosphere. These large-scale changes play a vital role in […]

8. Use of excess meltwater from continuous flow analysis systems for the analysis of low concentration insoluble microparticles in ice cores

   Low-concentration insoluble microparticles that are preserved in ice cores offer valuable information for reconstructing past environmental changes. However, their low concentrations and limited sample availability present challenges for extraction and […]

9. Basal reflectance and melt rates across the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica, from grounding line to ice shelf front

   We present a 1000 km transect of phase-sensitive radar measurements of ice thickness, basal reflection strength, basal melting, and ice-column deformation across the Ross Ice Shelf (RIS). Measurements were gathered […]

10. The genome sequence of the Antarctic lanternfish, Electrona antarctica (Günther, 1878) [Data Note]

    We present a genome assembly from an individual female Electrona antarctica (the Antarctic lanternfish; Chordata; Actinopterigii; Myctophiformes; Myctophidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 1,427.40 megabases. Most of […]

12. Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier and sea-level rise – Results from the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration (ITGC) [Environment Audit Committee call for evidence]

    Executive Summary: Change to Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica, sometimes referred to as the “Doomsday Glacier”, over the coming decades and centuries will have profound implications for global sea-level rise […]
