Antimicrobial activity of microfungi from maritime Antarctic soil
Read more of: Antimicrobial activity of microfungi from maritime Antarctic soilThe search for cold-adapted and cold-active fungi in extreme environments provides the potential for discovering new species and novel bioactive compounds. In this study, soil samples were collected from Deception […]

The microphysics of clouds over the Antarctic Peninsula – Part 2: modelling aspects within Polar WRF
Read more of: The microphysics of clouds over the Antarctic Peninsula – Part 2: modelling aspects within Polar WRFThe first intercomparisons of cloud microphysics schemes implemented in the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) mesoscale atmospheric model (version 3.5.1) are performed in the Antarctic Peninsula using the polar version […]

Climatically sensitive transfer of iron to maritime Antarctic ecosystems by surface runoff
Read more of: Climatically sensitive transfer of iron to maritime Antarctic ecosystems by surface runoffIron supplied by glacial weathering results in pronounced hotspots of biological production in an otherwise iron-limited Southern Ocean Ecosystem. However, glacial iron inputs are thought to be dominated by icebergs. […]

A comparison of annual layer thickness model estimates with observational measurements using the Berkner Island ice core, Antarctica
Read more of: A comparison of annual layer thickness model estimates with observational measurements using the Berkner Island ice core, AntarcticaA model to estimate the annual layer thickness of deposited snowfall at a deep ice core site, compacted by vertical strain with respect to depth, is assessed using ultra-high-resolution laboratory […]

Identification of candidate pelagic marine protected areas through a seabird seasonal-, multispecific- and extinction risk-based approach
Read more of: Identification of candidate pelagic marine protected areas through a seabird seasonal-, multispecific- and extinction risk-based approachWith increasing pressure on the oceans from environmental change, there has been a global call for improved protection of marine ecosystems through the implementation of marine protected areas (MPAs). Here, […]

Mechanisms driving variability in the ocean forcing of Pine Island Glacier
Read more of: Mechanisms driving variability in the ocean forcing of Pine Island GlacierPine Island Glacier (PIG) terminates in a rapidly melting ice shelf, and ocean circulation and temperature are implicated in the retreat and growing contribution to sea level rise of PIG […]

Estimates of abundance and trend on a Blue Whale feeding ground off Isla de Chiloé, Chile
Read more of: Estimates of abundance and trend on a Blue Whale feeding ground off Isla de Chiloé, ChileSince 1970, blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus) have been seen feeding in the waters off southern Chile during the summer and autumn (December to May). Investigation of the genetic, acoustic and […]

The seasonal cycle of carbonate system processes in Ryder Bay, West Antarctic Peninsula
Read more of: The seasonal cycle of carbonate system processes in Ryder Bay, West Antarctic PeninsulaThe carbon cycle in seasonally sea-ice covered waters remains poorly understood due to both a lack of observational data and the complexity of the system. Here we present three consecutive […]

Internal structure and emplacement mechanism of composite plutons: evidence from Mt Kinabalu, Borneo
Read more of: Internal structure and emplacement mechanism of composite plutons: evidence from Mt Kinabalu, BorneoThe internal structure and emplacement mechanisms of composite plutons are investigated using new field data from the composite Late Miocene granitic intrusion of Mt Kinabalu in northern Borneo. The pluton […]

Status of known non-native species introductions and impacts (updated)
Read more of: Status of known non-native species introductions and impacts (updated)Antarctic biodiversity and ecosystems are under threat from introduced non-native species. Currently the Antarctic Peninsula and off shore islands are the most invaded areas. Invasions are likely to increase, facilitated […]

Diversity of macrofaunal Mollusca of the abyssal Vema Fracture Zone and hadal Puerto Rico Trench, tropical North Atlantic
Read more of: Diversity of macrofaunal Mollusca of the abyssal Vema Fracture Zone and hadal Puerto Rico Trench, tropical North AtlanticWhile biodiversity patterns of Atlantic deep-sea bivalves and gastropods have served as model taxa for setting global latitudinal and bathymetric hypotheses, less is known on abyssal, amphi-Atlantic molluscan assemblage compositions.
