1. New initiatives in observing the antarctic mesosphere

   Studies of the Antarctic mesosphere, and its contrasts with the Arctic, are expected to hold the key to improved understanding of the mesopause region and energy and momentum transfer processes […]

2. Predicted present-day evolution patterns of ice thickness and bedrock elevation over Greenland and Antarctica

   This paper discusses predicted evolution patterns of present-day changes of ice thickness, surface elevation, and bedrock elevation over the Greenland and Antarctic continents. These were obtained from calculations with dynamic […]

3. On the Reanalysis of Southern Hemisphere Charts for the FROST Project

   An overview is presented of the analysis procedures and problems encountered in the FROST reanalysis of weather charts poleward of latitude 50°S carried out in Hobart by the Australian Bureau […]

4. A 308-year record of climate variability in West Antarctica

   We present a new stable isotope record from Ellsworth Land which provides a valuable 308-year record (1702-2009) of climate variability from coastal West Antarctica. Climate variability at this site is […]

5. Antarctic Circumpolar Deep Water; a Quaternary paleoflow record from the northern Scotia Sea, South Atlantic Ocean

   In the northern Scotia Sea, the main pathway of Circumpolar Deep Water (CPDW) flows north to pass through a deep gap in the North Scotia Ridge before turning east into […]

6. Variability of circumpolar deep water transport onto the Amundsen Sea continental shelf through a shelf break trough

   The presence of warm Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) intrusions on the Amundsen continental shelf has been linked to recent thinning of the outlet glaciers draining the West Antarctic ice sheet […]

8. Evidence from ice shelves for channelized meltwater flow beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet

   Meltwater generated beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet exerts a strong influence on the speed of ice flow, in particular for major ice streams1, 2. The subglacial meltwater also influences ocean […]

9. Modeling Thermodynamic Ice–Ocean Interactions at the Base of an Ice Shelf

   Models of ocean circulation beneath ice shelves are driven primarily by the heat and freshwater fluxes that are associated with phase changes at the ice–ocean boundary. Their behavior is therefore […]

10. Hydrology, water availability and tundra ecosystem function in a changing climate: the need for a closer integration of ideas?

    Hydrologists and ecologists studying tundra ecosystems have worked largely independently, with little cross-fertilization between disciplines. Their disciplines are, however, inextricably linked by a need to understand the dynamics and significance […]

11. Pore-water signal of marine ice-sheets

    The pore-water signal left behind by a glacier overriding a porous medium is considered. Important processes are infiltration, tracer diffusion, radio-active decay, penetration of freezing fronts and erosion and deposition. […]

12. On the numerical computation of temperature in an ice sheet

    Quadrature solutions for temperature fields in the central regions of ice sheets where flow is by internal deformation are presented and compared with numerical computations and the European Ice Sheet […]
