1. Sensitivity of the Weddell Sea sector ice streams to sub-shelf melting and surface accumulation

   A recent ocean modelling study indicates that possible changes in circulation may bring warm deep-ocean water into direct contact with the grounding lines of the Filchner–Ronne ice streams, suggesting the […]

2. Variability in transport pathways on and around the South Georgia shelf, Southern Ocean: Implications for recruitment and retention

   The waters around South Georgia are among the most productive in the Southern Ocean, with zooplankton populations close to the island, in particular Antarctic krill, supporting vast colonies of higher […]

3. Examination of a physically based, high-resolution, distributed Arctic temperature-index melt model, on Midtre Lovénbreen, Svalbard

   Improvements in our ability to model runoff from glaciers remain an important scientific goal. This paper describes a new temperature-radiation-index glacier melt model specifically enhanced for use in High-Arctic environments, […]

4. Acclimation and thermal tolerance in Antarctic marine ectotherms

   Antarctic marine species have evolved in one of the coldest and most temperature-stable marine environments on Earth. They have long been classified as being stenothermal, or having a poor capacity […]

5. Role of squid in the Southern Ocean pelagic ecosystem and the possible consequences of climate change

   Southern Ocean squid are important predators and prey and are a potential fishery resource. Their future under climate change is analysed from predictions of change by 2100 and assessments of […]

7. Habitat-mediated population limitation in a colonial central-place forager: the sky is not the limit for the black-browed albatross

   Animal populations are frequently limited by the availability of food or of habitat. In central-place foragers, the cost of accessing these resources is distance-dependent rather than uniform in space. However, […]

8. Retreat of Pine Island Glacier controlled by marine ice-sheet instability

   Over the past 40 years Pine Island Glacier in West Antarctica has thinned at an accelerating rate, so that at present it is the largest single contributor to sea-level rise […]

9. Experimental influence of pH on the early life-stages of sea urchins I: different rates of introduction give rise to different responses

   Many early life-stage response studies to ocean acidification utilize gametes/offspring obtained from ambient-sourced parents, which are then directly introduced to experimentally altered seawater pH. This approach may produce a stress […]

10. Global model of low frequency chorus (fLHR < f < 0:1fce) from multiple satellite observations

    Whistler mode chorus is an important magnetospheric emission, playing a dual role in the acceleration and loss of relativistic electrons in the Earth’s outer radiation belt. Chorus is typically generated […]

11. The Early Miocene Cape Melville Formation fossil assemblage and the evolution of modern Antarctic marine communities

    The fossil community from the Early Miocene Cape Melville Formation (King George Island, Antarctica) does not show the archaic retrograde nature of modern Antarctic marine communities, despite evidence, such as […]

12. Three dimensional electron radiation belt simulations using the BAS Radiation Belt Model with new diffusion models for chorus, plasmaspheric hiss and lightning-generated whistlers

    The flux of relativistic electrons in the Earth’s radiation belts is highly variable and can change by orders of magnitude on timescales of a few hours. Understanding the drivers for […]
