Quantifying the predictability of the timing of jökulhlaups from Merzbacher Lake, Kyrgyzstan
Read more of: Quantifying the predictability of the timing of jökulhlaups from Merzbacher Lake, KyrgyzstanGlacier-dammed lakes can yield subglacial outburst floods (jo¨kulhlaups) repeatedly. Predicting flood timing is crucial for hazard mitigation, but incomplete understanding of flood-initiation physics makes this challenging. Here we examine the […]

Aircraft-Deployable Ice Observation System (ADIOS) for instrumenting inaccessible glaciers
Read more of: Aircraft-Deployable Ice Observation System (ADIOS) for instrumenting inaccessible glaciersThere remain large regions of scientific interest in the Antarctic that are not instrumented. These include highly dynamic ice streams and glaciers that are difficult or impossible to reach safely […]

Halley Research Station, Antarctica: calving risks and monitoring strategies
Read more of: Halley Research Station, Antarctica: calving risks and monitoring strategiesThe British Antarctic Survey’s Halley Research Station is located on the Brunt Ice Shelf, Antarctica, where it is potentially vulnerable to calving events. Existing historical records show that the Brunt […]

Transatlantic migration by post-breeding puffins: a strategy to exploit a temporarily abundant food resource?
Read more of: Transatlantic migration by post-breeding puffins: a strategy to exploit a temporarily abundant food resource?The distribution of Atlantic puffins (Fratercula arctica) from Skellig Michael, south-west Ireland, was investigated using geolocation loggers between the 2010 and 2011 breeding seasons. All tracked birds travelled rapidly west […]

Influence of wintering area on persistent organic pollutants in a breeding migratory seabird
Read more of: Influence of wintering area on persistent organic pollutants in a breeding migratory seabirdAs apex marine predators, seabirds are often sampled to monitor bioaccumulative persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the marine environment. Despite the restrictions on use and production of many POPs, concern […]

Mesozooplankton in the Southern Ocean: spatial and temporal patterns from Discovery Investigations
Read more of: Mesozooplankton in the Southern Ocean: spatial and temporal patterns from Discovery InvestigationsMesozooplankton samples taken during the Discovery Investigations in the Southern Ocean in the 1930’s were analysed from a series of 5 transects along 80oW. The samples provide a unique level […]

Paleogeographic controls on the onset of the Antarctic circumpolar current
Read more of: Paleogeographic controls on the onset of the Antarctic circumpolar currentDevelopment of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) during the Cenozoic is controversial in terms of timing and its role in major climate transitions. Some propose that the development of the […]
