Changes in penguin distribution over the Antarctic Peninsula and Scotia Arc (Version 2.0)
Read more of: Changes in penguin distribution over the Antarctic Peninsula and Scotia Arc (Version 2.0)Robust evidence highlights major shifts in the abundance and distribution of penguins (Adélie, chinstrap, gentoo, emperor, king, and macaroni) breeding on the Antarctic Peninsula and across the Scotia Arc in […]

Synchronous oceanic spreading and continental rifting in West Antarctica
Read more of: Synchronous oceanic spreading and continental rifting in West AntarcticaMagnetic anomalies associated with new ocean crust formation in the Adare Basin off north-western Ross Sea (43 – 26 Ma) can be traced directly into the Northern Basin that underlies the […]

A method for continuous239Pu determinations in Arctic and Antarctic ice cores
Read more of: A method for continuous239Pu determinations in Arctic and Antarctic ice coresAtmospheric nuclear weapons testing (NWT) resulted in the injection of plutonium (Pu) into the atmosphere and subsequent global deposition. We present a new method for continuous semi-quantitative measurement of 239Pu […]

Marginal fluctuations of a Svalbard surge-type tidewater glacier, Bloomstrandbreen, since the little ice age: a record of three surges
Read more of: Marginal fluctuations of a Svalbard surge-type tidewater glacier, Bloomstrandbreen, since the little ice age: a record of three surgesPrevious advances and retreats of Blomstrandbreen within the cold period known as the Little Ice Age, between approximately 1400 and 1920, are relatively well documented. The seafloor characteristics associated with […]

Comment on “Low time resolution analysis of polar ice cores cannot detect impulsive nitrate events” by D.F. Smart et al.
Read more of: Comment on “Low time resolution analysis of polar ice cores cannot detect impulsive nitrate events” by D.F. Smart et al.Smart et al. (2014) suggested that the detection of nitrate spikes in polar ice cores from solar energetic particle (SEP) events could be achieved if an analytical system with sufficiently […]

Interglacials of the last 800,000 years
Read more of: Interglacials of the last 800,000 yearsInterglacials, including the present (Holocene) period, are warm, low land ice extent (high sea level), end-members of glacial cycles. Based on a sea level definition, we identify eleven interglacials in […]

Quasi-linear simulations of inner radiation belt electron pitch angle and energy distributions
Read more of: Quasi-linear simulations of inner radiation belt electron pitch angle and energy distributions“Peculiar” or “butterfly” electron pitch angle distributions (PADs), with minima near 90°, have recently been observed in the inner radiation belt. These electrons are traditionally treated by pure pitch angle […]

Controls over Ocean Mesopelagic Interior Carbon Storage (COMICS): fieldwork, synthesis and modelling efforts
Read more of: Controls over Ocean Mesopelagic Interior Carbon Storage (COMICS): fieldwork, synthesis and modelling effortsThe ocean’s biological carbon pump plays a central role in regulating atmospheric CO2 levels. In particular, the depth at which sinking organic carbon is broken down and respired in the […]

A sclerochronological archive for Antarctic coastal waters based on the marine bivalve Yoldia eightsi (Jay, 1839) from the South Orkney Islands
Read more of: A sclerochronological archive for Antarctic coastal waters based on the marine bivalve Yoldia eightsi (Jay, 1839) from the South Orkney IslandsThe scarcity of long instrumental series from the Southern Ocean limits our understanding of key climate and environmental feedbacks within the Antarctic system. We present an assessment for the Antarctic […]

Predicting Antarctic climate using climate models
Read more of: Predicting Antarctic climate using climate modelsClimate models are the main tool for making quantitative estimates of how Antarctic climate may change over the 21st century. There is high agreement on some aspects of the predictions […]
