1. The global distribution of pteropods and their contribution to carbonate and carbon biomass in the modern ocean

   Pteropods are a group of holoplanktonic gastropods for which global biomass distribution patterns remain poorly described. The aim of this study was to collect and synthesise existing pteropod (Gymnosomata, Thecosomata […]

2. Description and quantification of pteropod shell dissolution: a sensitive bioindicator of ocean acidification

   Anthropogenic ocean acidification is likely to have negative effects on marine calcifying organisms, such as shelled pteropods, by promoting dissolution of aragonite shells. Study of shell dissolution requires an accurate […]

3. Tracking seabirds to identify ecologically important and high risk marine areas in the western North Atlantic

   Protection of the marine environment lags far behind that of terrestrial domains. To help ameliorate this circumstance, top predators are being tracked to identify important ocean habitats, biodiversity hotspots and […]

6. Implementing a Southern Ocean Observing System

   The Southern Ocean is fundamental to the operation of the Earth system. It is the central connection among the major ocean basins and between the upper and lower layers of […]

7. The impact of changes in sea ice advance on the large winter warming on the western Antarctic Peninsula

   Over 1979–2007 near-surface air temperatures on the maritime western side of the Antarctic Peninsula have increased throughout the year, with the greatest monthly temperature rise of 1.7 °C dec−1 occurring […]

8. Use of radium isotopes to estimate mixing rates and trace sediment inputs to surface waters in northern Marguerite Bay, Antarctic Peninsula

   In the western Antarctic Peninsula region, micronutrient injection facilitates strong plankton blooms that support productive food webs, unlike large areas of the low-productivity Southern Ocean.We use naturally occurring radioisotopes of […]

10. Hydrogen peroxide and ecdysone in the cryoprotective dehydration strategy of Megaphorura Arctica(Onychiuridae: Collembola)

    The Arctic springtail, Megaphorura arctica, survives sub-zero temperatures in a dehydrated state via trehalose-dependent cryoprotective dehydration. Regulation of trehalose biosynthesis is complex; based in part on studies in yeast and […]

11. Eemian interglacial reconstructed from a Greenland folded ice core

    Efforts to extract a Greenland ice core with a complete record of the Eemian interglacial (130,000 to 115,000 years ago) have until now been unsuccessful. The response of the Greenland […]

12. Comparison of methods for determining key marine areas from tracking data

    There is an urgent need to identify key marine areas for conservation, particularly in the high seas. A range of techniques have been applied to tracking data from higher predators, […]
