Polar Ocean Mixing by Internal Tsunamis (POLOMINTS)
Mixing of the ocean around Antarctica is a key process that exerts influences over large scales and in multiple ways. By redistributing heat in the ocean, it exerts strong influences […]

Implementing an Operational Cloud‐Based Now‐ and Forecasting System for Space Weather Ground Effects in the UK
Read more of: Implementing an Operational Cloud‐Based Now‐ and Forecasting System for Space Weather Ground Effects in the UKThe enhanced variation of the magnetic field during severe to extreme geomagnetic storms induces a large geoelectric field in the subsurface. Grounded infrastructure can be susceptible to geomagnetically induced currents […]

Heat limits scale with metabolism in ectothermic animals
Read more of: Heat limits scale with metabolism in ectothermic animals1. Ectotherms given time to acclimate to warmer environments, habitats or experimental treatments tend to tolerate higher maximum temperatures, but only slightly higher. This means warmer acclimated organisms live closer […]

Reference genome of the leopard seal (Hydrurga leptonyx), a Southern Ocean apex predator
Read more of: Reference genome of the leopard seal (Hydrurga leptonyx), a Southern Ocean apex predatorApex predators play a key role in maintaining ecosystem structure and functions (Ripple et al., 2014; Estes et al., 2016; Enquist et al., 2020). They exert top-down control on food […]

FISHGLOB: a collaborative infrastructure to bridge the gap between scientific monitoring and marine biodiversity conservation
Read more of: FISHGLOB: a collaborative infrastructure to bridge the gap between scientific monitoring and marine biodiversity conservationLarge-scale biodiversity assessments and conservation applications require integrated and up-to-date datasets across regions. In the oceans, monitoring is fragmented, which affects knowledge exchange and usage. Among existing monitoring programs, scientific […]

Discharge Promotes Melt and Formation of Submarine Ice‐Shelf Channels at the Beardmore Glacier Grounding Zone
Read more of: Discharge Promotes Melt and Formation of Submarine Ice‐Shelf Channels at the Beardmore Glacier Grounding ZoneUsing radar data from the Beardmore Glacier grounding zone, we image a narrow subglacial channel (300-500 m wide) that reaches a height of 200 m above the ambient ice-shelf draft. […]

Reflective error: a metric for assessing predictive performance at extreme events
Read more of: Reflective error: a metric for assessing predictive performance at extreme eventsWhen using machine learning to model environmental systems, it is often a model’s ability to predict extreme behaviors that yields the highest practical value to policy makers. However, most existing […]

Polar ectotherms more vulnerable to warming than expected
Read more of: Polar ectotherms more vulnerable to warming than expectedPolar regions are heavily impacted by climate change. Yet, vulnerability assessments suggest little concern about heat-related challenges for polar terrestrial ectotherms. These conclusions are based, however, on assumptions and extrapolation […]

Speed-up, slowdown, and redirection of ice flow on neighbouring ice streams in the Pope, Smith, and Kohler region of West Antarctica
Read more of: Speed-up, slowdown, and redirection of ice flow on neighbouring ice streams in the Pope, Smith, and Kohler region of West AntarcticaThe ice streams feeding the Dotson and Crosson ice shelves are some of the fastest changing in West Antarctica. We use satellite observations to measure the change in ice speed […]

Electron Acceleration and Zebra Stripe Formation in Saturn’s Radiation Belts
Read more of: Electron Acceleration and Zebra Stripe Formation in Saturn’s Radiation BeltsThis study uses the Versatile Electron Radiation Belt code to model Saturn’s radiation belt environment, investigating electron acceleration, loss, and transport mechanisms. The simulations consider various physical processes, including convection […]
