1. Ice-Ocean Interactions in North West Greenland

   Ice shelves play an important role in the mass balance of an ice sheet, by providing a link between the ocean and ice. Melting at the base of an ice […]

2. No ocean acidification effects on shell growth and repair in the New Zealand brachiopod Calloria inconspicua (Sowerby, 1846)

   Surface seawaters are becoming more acidic due to the absorption of rising anthropogenic CO2. Marine calcifiers are considered to be the most vulnerable organisms to ocean acidification due to the […]

3. The mitochondrial genome of the antarctic springtail Folsomotoma octooculata (Hexapoda; Collembola), and an update on the phylogeny of collembolan lineages based on mitogenomic data

   This study provides the description of the complete mitochondrial genome of the Antarctic collembola Folsomotoma octooculata. Since mitogenomic data are extensively used for phylogenetic reconstruction, we also provide a phylogenetic […]

4. Too much of a good thing: sea ice extent may have forced emperor penguins into refugia during the last glacial maximum

   The relationship between population structure and demographic history is critical to understanding microevolution and for predicting the resilience of species to environmental change. Using mitochondrial DNA from extant colonies and […]

5. Impact of marine vertebrates on Antarctic terrestrial micro-arthropods

   Traits of primary producers associated with tissue quality are commonly assumed to have strong control over higher trophic levels. However, this view is largely based on studies of vascular plants, […]

6. Brief Communication: Newly developing rift in Larsen C Ice Shelf presents significant risk to stability

   An established rift in the Larsen C Ice Shelf, formerly constrained by a suture zone containing marine ice, grew rapidly during 2014 and is likely in the near future to […]

7. Assessing the extent of establishment of Undaria pinnatifida in Plymouth Sound Special Area of Conservation, UK

   The north-west Pacific kelp, Undaria pinnatifida, was first discovered in Europe on the Mediterranean coast of France (1971) and introduced to Brittany for aquaculture (1983). In the north-east Atlantic, it […]

8. Modelling channelized surface drainage of supraglacial lakes

   Supraglacial lakes can drain to the bed of ice sheets, affecting ice dynamics, or over their surface, relocating surface water. Focusing on surface drainage, we first discuss observations of lake […]

10. Sea ice distribution in the Antarctic: between longitudes 7°W and 92°W

    Original high-resolution scans are available from BAS Archives, reference AD6/17/BK/1963/1

11. Biodiversity on coastal boulders at Spitsbergen

    Boulder communities were studied in summer 2002 in West Spitsbergen fiords. We examined multiple samples at three stations in Kongsfjorden (79° N, 12° E) and three stations in Hornsund (77° […]

12. Protection of Antarctic microbial communities – ‘out of sight, out of mind’

    Recent advances in molecular biology techniques have shown the presence of diverse microbial communities and endemic species in Antarctica. Endemic microbes may be a potential source of novel biotechnologically important […]
