The roles of sex, mass and individual specialisation in partitioning foraging-depth niches of a pursuit-diving predator
Read more of: The roles of sex, mass and individual specialisation in partitioning foraging-depth niches of a pursuit-diving predatorIntra-specific foraging niche partitioning can arise due to gender differences or individual specialisation in behaviour or prey selection. These may in turn be related to sexual size dimorphism or individual […]

A novel and low cost sea ice mass balance buoy
Read more of: A novel and low cost sea ice mass balance buoyThe understanding of sea ice mass balance processes requires continuous monitoring of the seasonal evolution of the ice thickness. While autonomous ice mass balance buoys (IMB buoys) deployed over the […]

Pine Island Glacier ice shelf melt distributed at kilometre scales
Read more of: Pine Island Glacier ice shelf melt distributed at kilometre scalesBy thinning and accelerating, West Antarctic ice streams are contributing about 10% of the observed global sea level rise. Much of this ice loss is from Pine Island Glacier, which […]

Boundary conditions of an active West Antarctic subglacial lake: implications for storage of water beneath the ice sheet
Read more of: Boundary conditions of an active West Antarctic subglacial lake: implications for storage of water beneath the ice sheetRepeat-pass ICESat altimetry has revealed 124 discrete surface height changes across the Antarctic Ice Sheet, interpreted to be caused by subglacial lake discharges (surface lowering) and inputs (surface uplift). Few […]

Mesozoic-Cenozoic evolution of the North Patagonian Batholith in Aysen, southern Chile
Read more of: Mesozoic-Cenozoic evolution of the North Patagonian Batholith in Aysen, southern ChileA detailed Rb-Sr geochronological and geochemical study has been carried out on granitoids of the North Patagonian batholith in Aysén. The results for 25 plutonic bodies reveal a complex age […]

Antarctic macrobenthic communities: a compilation of circumpolar information
Read more of: Antarctic macrobenthic communities: a compilation of circumpolar informationComprehensive information on Antarctic macrobenthic community structure has been publicly available since the 1960s. It stems from trawl, dredge, grab, and corer samples as well as from direct and camera […]

Modeling the relaxation of red sprite plasma
Read more of: Modeling the relaxation of red sprite plasmaRed sprites consist of multiple ionised columns extending above a thunderstorm from ∼30 km to ∼90 km. Electron densities in these columns are very much larger than the ambient background, […]
