1. Ocean-forced ice-shelf thinning in a synchronously coupled ice-ocean model

   The first fully synchronous, coupled ice shelf-ocean model with a fixed grounding line and imposed upstream ice velocity has been developed using the MITgcm (Massachusetts Institute of Technology general circulation […]

2. Oil spill response capabilities and technologies for ice-covered Arctic marine waters: A review of recent developments and established practices

   Renewed political and commercial interest in the resources of the Arctic, the reduction in the extent and thickness of sea ice, and the recent failings that led to the Deepwater […]

3. Antimicrobial properties and the influence of temperature on secondary metabolite production in cold environment soil fungi

   The Arctic and Antarctic share environmental extremes. To survive in such environments, microbes such as soil fungi need to compete with or protect themselves effectively from other soil microbiota and […]

4. The South Georgia Wave Experiment (SG-WEX): Radiosonde observations of gravity waves in the lower stratosphere. Part 1: Energy density, momentum flux and wave propagation direction

   Gravity waves play a critical role in the transport of energy and momentum throughout the atmosphere. It has been suggested that small mountainous islands located in regions of strong winds […]

5. Army imposters: diversification of army ant-mimicking beetles with their Eciton hosts

   Colonies of neotropical army ants of the genus Eciton Latreille offer some of the most captivating examples of intricate interactions between species, with hundreds of associated species already described in […]

6. Sedimentary processes on the continental slope off Kvitøya and Albertini troughs north of Nordaustlandet, Svalbard – The importance of structural-geological setting in trough-mouth fan development

   New marine-geophysical data were analyzed to investigate the sedimentary processes operating on the continental slope north of Nordaustlandet, Svalbard. Kvitøya Trough terminates in a trough-mouth fan (TMF) on the slope, […]

7. Long term geomagnetically induced current observations from New Zealand: peak current estimates for extreme geomagnetic storms

   Geomagnetically Induced Current (GIC) observations made in New Zealand over 14 years show induction effects associated with a rapidly varying horizontal magnetic field (dBH/dt) during geomagnetic storms. This study analyses […]

9. Entanglement in man-made debris of Antarctic fur seals at Bird Island, South Georgia

   Neck collars of man-made marine debris were seen on 208 Antarctic fur seals (and removed from 170) during the 142 days of the 1988–1989 pup-rearing season at Bird Island, South […]

11. Ice and snow thickness variability and change in the high Arctic Ocean observed by in-situ measurements

    In April 2017 we collected unique, extensive in-situ data of sea ice and snow thickness. At ten sampling sites, located under a CryoSat-2 overpass, between Ellesmere Island and 87.1°N mean […]

12. Genetic signature of Last Glacial Maximum regional refugia in a circum-Antarctic sea spider

    The evolutionary history of Antarctic organisms is becoming increasingly important to understand and manage population trajectories under rapid environmental change. The Antarctic sea spider Nymphon australe, with an apparently large […]
