1. The mysteries of reactive nitrogen species above polar snow

   Emission of NOx and HONO from the snowpack can have a significant impact on the oxidising capacity of the boundary layer in the polar regions. This thesis presents work that […]

2. Morphometric variation in subantarctic populations of Liodessus chilensis (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae)

   In aquatic insects, body size and shape are key traits that may indicate phenotypic plasticity or adaptations to their hydrological landscape. Liodessus chilensis is a small and poorly-known aquatic beetle […]

3. Subsurface floats in the Filchner Trough provide the first direct under-ice tracks of the circulation on shelf

   Bottom water formation in the Weddell Sea and mass loss from the Filchner–Ronne Ice Shelf are tightly linked by the supply of Warm Deep Water to the continental shelf. Heavy […]

4. A review of global long-term changes in the mesosphere, thermosphere and ionosphere: a starting point for inclusion in (semi-)empirical models

   The climate of the upper atmosphere, including the mesosphere, thermosphere and ionosphere, is changing. As data records are much more limited than in the lower atmosphere and solar variability becomes […]

5. Chapter 11 – Southern Annular Mode

   The Southern Annular Mode (SAM) is an important pattern of Southern Hemisphere circulation variability: it accounts for between 15 and 30 or more percent of the total variability of the […]

6. Strong winds reduce foraging success in albatrosses

   Knowledge of how animals respond to weather and changes in their physical environment is increasingly important, given the higher frequency of extreme weather recorded in recent years and its forecasted […]

7. Deriving iceberg ablation rates using an on-iceberg autonomous phase-sensitive radar (ApRES)

   The increase in iceberg discharge into the polar oceans highlights the importance of understanding how quickly icebergs are deteriorating and where the resulting freshwater injection is occurring. Recent advances in […]

8. Monitoring plastic pollution using bioindicators: a global review and recommendations for marine environments

   Monitoring the movement of plastic into marine food webs is central to understanding and mitigating the plastic pollution crisis. Bioindicators have been a component of the environmental monitoring toolkit for […]

9. The Antarctic Specially Protected Species conservation management tool: Development, use and future outlook

   Protection of specific species, generally through the implementation of an associated action plan, is a conservation tool used commonly in areas under national jurisdiction. The Antarctic Treaty area is under […]

10. Native woody species depend on the soil microbiome to establish on burned soils, while non‐native do not

    1. Wildfires are important natural disturbances with profound ecological impacts. However, our understanding of how to restore plant–soil microbiome interactions following wildfires remains limited, revealing a key knowledge gap in […]

11. The BirdLife Seabird Tracking Database: 20 years of collaboration for marine conservation

    The BirdLife Seabird Tracking Database (STDB) was established in 2004 to collate tracking data to address the incidental mortality of seabirds in fisheries and to contribute to identification of sites […]

12. Revealing the Demographic History of the European Nightjar (Caprimulgus europaeus)

    A species’ demographic history gives important context to contemporary population genetics and a possible insight into past responses to climate change; with an individual’s genome providing a window into the […]
