Review of Antarctic greenhouses and plant production facilities: A historical account of food plants on the ice
Read more of: Review of Antarctic greenhouses and plant production facilities: A historical account of food plants on the iceAntarctic crews have been transporting plants and their supporting infrastructure to Antarctic field sites since as early as 1902. More than 46 distinct plant production facilities have, at one time […]

Conservation implications of consistent foraging and trophic ecology in a rare petrel species
Read more of: Conservation implications of consistent foraging and trophic ecology in a rare petrel speciesIndividuals within populations can use different resources, leading to ecological segregation and niche variation. This segregation could have direct impacts on the migratory strategy or breeding success, thus affecting the […]

Diving deeper into individual foraging specializations of a large marine predator, the southern sea lion
Read more of: Diving deeper into individual foraging specializations of a large marine predator, the southern sea lionDespite global declines in the abundance of marine predators, knowledge of foraging ecology, necessary to predict the ecological consequences of large changes in marine predator abundance, remains enigmatic for many […]

Contribution of surface roughness to simulations of historical deforestation
Read more of: Contribution of surface roughness to simulations of historical deforestationSurface roughness which partitions surface net radiation into energy fluxes is a key parameter for estimation of biosphere–atmosphere interactions and climate variability. An earth system model of intermediate complexity (EMIC), […]

A new high-precision and low-power GNSS receiver for long-term installations in remote areas
Read more of: A new high-precision and low-power GNSS receiver for long-term installations in remote areasWe have developed a new high-precision GNSS receiver specifically designed for long-term unattended deployments in remote areas. The receiver reports its status, and can be reprogrammed remotely, through an integrated […]

On the reconstruction of palaeo-ice sheets: Recent advances and future challenges
Read more of: On the reconstruction of palaeo-ice sheets: Recent advances and future challengesReconstructing the growth and decay of palaeo-ice sheets is critical to understanding mechanisms of global climate change and associated sea-level fluctuations in the past, present and future. The significance of […]

Freshwater distributions and water mass structure in the Amundsen Sea Polynya region, Antarctica
Read more of: Freshwater distributions and water mass structure in the Amundsen Sea Polynya region, AntarcticaWe present the first densely-sampled hydrographic survey of the Amundsen Sea Polynya (ASP) region, including a detailed characterization of its freshwater distributions. Multiple components contribute to the freshwater budget, including […]

Controls on microalgal community structures in cryoconite holes upon high Arctic glaciers, Svalbard
Read more of: Controls on microalgal community structures in cryoconite holes upon high Arctic glaciers, SvalbardGlaciers are known to harbor surprisingly complex ecosystems. On their surface, distinct cylindrical holes filled with meltwater and sediments are considered as hot spots for microbial life. The present paper […]
