Ice fabric in an Antarctic ice stream interpreted from seismic anisotropy
Read more of: Ice fabric in an Antarctic ice stream interpreted from seismic anisotropyHere we present new measurements of an anisotropic ice fabric in a fast moving (377 ma−1) ice stream in West Antarctica. We use ∼6000 measurements of shear wave splitting observed […]

Firn Model Intercomparison Experiment (FirnMICE)
Read more of: Firn Model Intercomparison Experiment (FirnMICE)Evolution of cold dry snow and firn plays important roles in glaciology; however, the physical formulation of a densification law is still an active research topic. We forced eight firn-densification […]

Ice sheet retreat and glacio-isostatic adjustment in Lützow Holm Bay, East Antarctica
Read more of: Ice sheet retreat and glacio-isostatic adjustment in Lützow Holm Bay, East AntarcticaThe East Antarctic Ice Sheet has relatively few field data to constrain its past volume and contribution to global sea-level change since the Last Glacial Maximum. We provide new data […]

Evolutionary scenarios for the origin of an Antarctic tardigrade species based on molecular clock analyses and biogeographic data
Read more of: Evolutionary scenarios for the origin of an Antarctic tardigrade species based on molecular clock analyses and biogeographic dataThe origin of the Antarctic continental extant fauna is a highly debated topic, complicated by the paucity of organisms for which we have clear biogeographic distributions and understanding of their […]

Seafloor geomorphology and glacimarine sedimentation associated with fast-flowing ice sheet outlet glaciers in Disko Bay, West Greenland
Read more of: Seafloor geomorphology and glacimarine sedimentation associated with fast-flowing ice sheet outlet glaciers in Disko Bay, West GreenlandFast-flowing outlet glaciers currently drain the Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS), delivering ice, meltwater and debris to the fjords around Greenland. Although such glaciers strongly affect the ice sheet’s mass balance, […]

Asia’s glaciers are a regionally important buffer against drought [Retracted article]
Read more of: Asia’s glaciers are a regionally important buffer against drought [Retracted article]The high mountains of Asia—encompassing the Himalayas, the Hindu Kush, Karakoram, Pamir Alai, Kunlun Shan, and Tian Shan mountains—have the highest concentration of glaciers globally, and 800 million people depend […]

Comment on “Dissolved organic sulfur in the ocean: Biogeochemistry of a petagram inventory”
Read more of: Comment on “Dissolved organic sulfur in the ocean: Biogeochemistry of a petagram inventory”Ksionzek et al. (Reports, 28 October 2016, p. 456) provide important data describing the distribution of dissolved organic sulfur (DOS) in the Atlantic Ocean. Here, we show that mixing between […]

Sensitivity of simulated summer monsoonal precipitation in Langtang Valley, Himalaya to cloud microphysics schemes in WRF
Read more of: Sensitivity of simulated summer monsoonal precipitation in Langtang Valley, Himalaya to cloud microphysics schemes in WRFA better understanding of regional-scale precipitation patterns in the Himalayan region is required to increase our knowledge of the impacts of climate change on downstream water availability. This study examines […]

Temperature adaptation of lipids in diapausing Ostrinia nubilalis: an experimental study to distinguish environmental versus endogenous controls
Read more of: Temperature adaptation of lipids in diapausing Ostrinia nubilalis: an experimental study to distinguish environmental versus endogenous controlsLarvae of the European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis Hubn.) were cold acclimated during different phases of diapause to determine if changes in the fatty acid composition lipids occur as part […]

Telomere length measurement by qPCR in birds is affected by storage method of blood samples
Read more of: Telomere length measurement by qPCR in birds is affected by storage method of blood samplesGiven the potential role of telomeres as biomarkers of individual health and ageing, there is an increasing interest in studying telomere dynamics in a wider range of taxa in the […]

Summit of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet underlain by thick ice-crystal fabric layers linked to glacial-interglacial environmental change
Read more of: Summit of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet underlain by thick ice-crystal fabric layers linked to glacial-interglacial environmental changeIce cores in Antarctica and Greenland reveal ice-crystal fabrics that can be softer under simple shear compared with isotropic ice. Owing to the sparseness of ice cores in regions away […]
