1. Journey of an Arctic ice island

   In August 2010, a 253 km2 ice island calved from the floating glacial tongue of Petermann Glacier in Northwest Greenland. Petermann Ice Island (PII)-B, a large fragment of this original […]

2. North-South asymmetries in Earth’s magnetic field

   The solar-wind magnetosphere interaction primarily occurs at altitudes where the dipole component of Earth’s magnetic field is dominating. The disturbances that are created in this interaction propagate along magnetic field […]

3. Environmental correlates of Antarctic krill distribution in the Scotia Sea and southern Drake Passage

   Antarctic krill is a key prey species for many vertebrate and invertebrate predators in the Southern Ocean; it is also an abundant fishery resource in the Scotia Sea and southern […]

4. A review of methods used to analyse albatross diets—assessing priorities across their range

   Many seabird populations are threatened by interactions with commercial fisheries, and climate change. Understanding their prey requirements and dietary flexibility in this context is important for effective conservation and management. […]

5. The whole-atmosphere response to changes in the Earth’s magnetic field from 1900 to 2000: an example of “top-down” vertical coupling

   We study the effects of changes in the Earth’s magnetic field between 1900 and 2000 on the whole atmosphere (0–500 km altitude), based on simulations with the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate […]

6. Re-examining the roles of surface heat flux and latent heat release in a “hurricane-like” polar low over the Barents Sea

   Polar lows are intense mesoscale cyclones that occur at high latitudes in both hemispheres during winter. Their sometimes evidently convective nature, fueled by strong surface fluxes and with cloud-free centers, […]

7. Comparison of measurements from different radio-echo sounding systems and synchronization with the ice core at Dome C, Antarctica

   We present a compilation of radio-echo sounding (RES) measurements of five radar systems (AWI, BAS, CReSIS, INGV and UTIG) around the EPICA Dome C (EDC) drill site, East Antarctica. The […]

8. Simulation of sub-millimetre atmospheric spectra for characterizing potential ground-based remote sensing observations

   The sub-millimetre is an understudied region of the Earth’s atmospheric electromagnetic spectrum. Prior technological gaps and relatively high opacity due to the prevalence of rotational water vapour lines at these […]

9. Ocean forcing of glacier retreat in the western Antarctic Peninsula

   In recent decades, hundreds of glaciers draining the Antarctic Peninsula (63° to 70°S) have undergone systematic and progressive change. These changes are widely attributed to rapid increases in regional surface […]

10. Consistency in migration strategies and habitat preferences of brown skuas over two winters, a decade apart

    At-sea movements and activity patterns of brown skuas Stercorarius antarcticus lonnbergi from South Georgia were analysed in 2 winters, a decade apart, to examine the degree of consistency in migration […]

11. The conservation status and priorities for albatrosses and large petrels

    Seabirds are amongst the most globally-threatened of all groups of birds, and conservation issues specific to albatrosses (Diomedeidae) and large petrels (Procellaria spp. and giant petrels Macronectes spp.) led to […]

12. Remotely-sensed glacier change estimation: a case study at Linblad Cove, Antarctic Peninsula

    This study builds on existing literature of glacier change estimation in polar regions and is a continuation of efforts aimed at unlocking the information encapsulated in archival aerial photography of […]
