Retreat of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet from the western Amundsen Sea shelf at a pre- or early LGM stage
Read more of: Retreat of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet from the western Amundsen Sea shelf at a pre- or early LGM stageRecent palaeoglaciological studies on the West Antarctic shelf have mainly focused on the wide embayments of the Ross and Amundsen seas in order to reconstruct the extent and subsequent retreat […]

Wave breaking in dense plumes
Read more of: Wave breaking in dense plumesSinking dense plumes are important in many oceanographic settings, notably the polar formation of deep and bottom waters. The dense water sources feeding such plumes are commonly affected by tidal […]

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 […]
