Statistical physics of random searches
Read more of: Statistical physics of random searchesWe apply the theory of random walks to quantitatively describe the general problem of how to search efficiently for randomly located objects that can only be detected in the limited […]

Lévy flights search patterns of biological organisms
Read more of: Lévy flights search patterns of biological organismsWe discuss recent findings suggesting that an inverse square probability density distribution P(ℓ)∼ℓ−2 of step lengths ℓ leads to an optimal random search strategy for organisms that can search efficiently […]

A review of Pine Island Glacier, West Antarctica: hypotheses of instability vs. observations of change
Read more of: A review of Pine Island Glacier, West Antarctica: hypotheses of instability vs. observations of changeThe Pine Island Glacier ice-drainage basin has been cited as the part of the West Antarctic ice sheet most prone to substantial retreat on human time-scales. Here we review the […]

An extreme wind event at Casey Station, Antarctica
Read more of: An extreme wind event at Casey Station, AntarcticaModel output, satellite data, and in situ observations are used to investigate the conditions that gave rise to an extreme wind event at the Australian Casey Station (66.27°S, 110.53°E) on […]

The simulation of Antarctic sea ice in the Hadley Centre Climate Model (HadCM3)
Read more of: The simulation of Antarctic sea ice in the Hadley Centre Climate Model (HadCM3)An assessment is presented of the extent and variability of Antarctic sea ice in the non-flux-corrected version of the Hadley Centre’s coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation model (HadCM3). The results are […]
