1. End-to-end in Southern Ocean ecosystems

   Southern Ocean ecosystems matter for us all because they are important in Earth System processes and contribute to food security; they are also undergoing some of the most rapid changes […]

2. The Amundsen Sea and the Antarctic Ice Sheet

   A few decades ago, Antarctic ice sheets were expected to grow as the atmosphere warmed and increasing poleward moisture transport added snowfall to regions that would remain below freezing year-round. […]

3. Representation of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current in the CMIP5 climate models and future changes under warming scenarios

   The representation of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) in the fifth Coupled Models Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) is generally improved over CMIP3. The range of modeled transports in the historical (1976–2006) […]

4. Assessment of Southern Ocean mixed-layer depth in CMIP5 models: historical bias and forcing response

   The development of the deep Southern Ocean winter mixed layer in the climate models participating in the fifth Coupled Models Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) is assessed. The deep winter convection regions […]

5. Continental-scale temperature variability during the past two millennia

   Past global climate changes had strong regional expression. To elucidate their spatio-temporal pattern, we reconstructed past temperatures for seven continental-scale regions during the past one to two millennia. The most […]

6. Ocean circulation beneath Larsen C Ice Shelf, Antarctica from in situ observations

   Hot-water drilled access holes were used to obtain oceanographic data from beneath two sites on Larsen C Ice Shelf, one in the north and one in the south. At both […]

8. Area protection in Antarctica: how can conservation and scientific research goals be managed compatibly?

   The footprint of human activities within Antarctica is increasing, making it essential to consider whether current conservation/protection of environmental and scientific values is adequate. The Antarctic protected area network has […]

9. Inversion for the density-depth profile of polar firn using a stepped-frequency radar

   Translating satellite measurements of ice sheet volume change into sea level contribution requires knowledge of the profile of density as a function of depth within the ice sheet, and how […]

10. Exploring Pandora’s Box: potential and pitfalls of low coverage genome surveys for evolutionary biology

    High throughput sequencing technologies are revolutionizing genetic research. With this ‘‘rise of the machines’’, genomic sequences can be obtained even for unknown genomes within a short time and for reasonable […]

11. Growth of the Antarctic octocoral Primnoella scotiae and predation by the anemone Dactylanthus antarcticus

    Growth rates in Antarctic marine ectotherms have been demonstrated to be slowed by two to five times compared to shallow-water temperate species, with no previous reports for octocorals. Here growth […]

12. Human influence on extratropical Southern Hemisphere precipitation

    Observations of extratropical Southern Hemisphere austral summer precipitation over recent decades show mid-latitude drying and high-latitude moistening. Here we show that the observed precipitation trends in two datasets are inconsistent […]
