Threats to soil communities: human impacts
Read more of: Threats to soil communities: human impactsAntarctic terrestrial habitats are vulnerable to impacts resulting from global and local human activities. Global activities have resulted in climate change affecting parts of Antarctica, stratospheric ozone depletion over the […]

Primary production and links to carbon cycling in Antarctic soils
Read more of: Primary production and links to carbon cycling in Antarctic soilsAntarctica is not a single ecological model. Substantial differences in the temperature, precipitation (which combine to affect the available water) and radiation determine the distribution and the habit of primary […]

The subglacial geology of Wilkes Land, East Antarctica
Read more of: The subglacial geology of Wilkes Land, East AntarcticaWilkes Land is a key region for studying the configuration of Gondwana and for appreciating the role of tectonic boundary conditions on East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) behavior. Despite this […]

The trophodynamics of Southern Ocean Electrona (Myctophidae) in the Scotia Sea
Read more of: The trophodynamics of Southern Ocean Electrona (Myctophidae) in the Scotia SeaThe Scotia Sea is one of the most productive regions of the Southern Ocean, but its surface waters are experiencing a rapid increase in temperature, which may be changing the […]

Diving capabilities of diving petrels
Read more of: Diving capabilities of diving petrelsIn striking contrast to the general increase in diving ability with body mass in seabirds, amongst the Procellariiformes, the deepest dives appear to be by the smallest species. Here, we […]

Downslope föhn winds over the Antarctic Peninsula and their effect on the Larsen Ice Shelves
Read more of: Downslope föhn winds over the Antarctic Peninsula and their effect on the Larsen Ice ShelvesMesoscale model simulations are presented of a westerly föhn event over the Antarctic Peninsula mountain ridge and onto the Larsen C ice shelf, just south of the recently collapsed Larsen […]

Surface-water iron supplies in the Southern Ocean sustained by deep winter mixing
Read more of: Surface-water iron supplies in the Southern Ocean sustained by deep winter mixingLow levels of iron limit primary productivity across much of the Southern Ocean. At the basin scale, most dissolved iron is supplied to surface waters from subsurface reservoirs, because land […]
