1. Emerging spatial patterns in Antarctic prokaryotes

   Recent advances in knowledge of patterns of biogeography in terrestrial eukaryotic organisms have led to a fundamental paradigm shift in understanding of the controls and history of life on land […]

2. Antarctic sea ice losses drive gains in benthic carbon drawdown

   Climate forcing of sea-ice losses from the Arctic and West Antarctic are blueing the poles. These losses are accelerating, reducing Earth’s albedo and increasing heat absorption [1]. Subarctic forest (area […]

3. Oxygen isotope mass balance of atmospheric nitrate at Dome C, East Antarctica, during the OPALE campaign

   Variations in the stable oxygen isotope composition of atmospheric nitrate act as novel tools for studying oxidative processes taking place in the troposphere. They provide both qualitative and quantitative constraints […]

5. Review of Antarctic greenhouses and plant production facilities: A historical account of food plants on the ice

   Antarctic 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 […]

6. Conservation implications of consistent foraging and trophic ecology in a rare petrel species

   Individuals 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 […]

7. Diving deeper into individual foraging specializations of a large marine predator, the southern sea lion

   Despite 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 […]

8. Contribution of surface roughness to simulations of historical deforestation

   Surface 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), […]

9. The use of fishing vessels to provide acoustic data on the distribution and abundance of Antarctic krill and other pelagic species

   A fishery for Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) has existed for over 3 decades and the Commission for Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) manages this fishery using precautionary catch […]

10. A new high-precision and low-power GNSS receiver for long-term installations in remote areas

    We 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 […]

11. On the reconstruction of palaeo-ice sheets: Recent advances and future challenges

    Reconstructing 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 […]

12. Freshwater distributions and water mass structure in the Amundsen Sea Polynya region, Antarctica

    We 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 […]
