1. Mindanao current/undercurrent in an eddy-resolving GCM

   Analysis of results from an eddy-resolving general circulation model showed two subsurface velocity cores in the mean within the depth range between 400 and 1000 m below the Mindanao Current […]

2. South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (SAMOC) – Fourth Workshop

   The fourth workshop of the South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (SAMOC 4) took place in Simons Town, South Africa, on 27-29 September 2011. The main objectives of the workshop were […]

3. A ‘continuity-index’ for assessing ice-sheet dynamics from radar-sounded internal layers

   Radio-echo sounding (RES) of polar ice sheets reveals extensive internal layering. The degree of continuity of internal layering holds critical information about the ice-flow field, but previous analyses of this […]

4. An ice-core proxy for northerly air mass incursions into West Antarctica

   A 200-year proxy for northerly air mass incursions (NAMI) into central and western West Antarctica is developed from the examination of 19 shallow (21–150 m deep) Antarctic ice-core non-sea-salt (nss) […]

5. Occurrence of the on-native annual Bluegrass on the Antarctic mainland and its negative effects on native plants

   Few non-native species have colonized Antarctica, although increased human activity and accelerated climate change may increase their number, distributional range, and effects on native species on the continent. We searched […]

6. Recent Antarctic Peninsula warming relative to Holocene climate and ice shelf history

   Rapid warming over the past 50 years on the Antarctic Peninsula is associated with the collapse of a number of ice shelves and accelerating glacier mass loss1, 2, 3, 4, 5, […]

7. Basal and field metabolic rates of Streaked Shearwater during the chick-rearing period

   The energetics of adult Streaked Shearwaters Calonectris leucomelas during the chick-rearing period were examined on Awa Island, Japan, in 2008 and 2009. Basal metabolic rates (BMR) were quantified using an […]

8. Palynomorph and ostracod biostratigraphy of the Ballagan Formation, Midland Valley of Scotland and elucidation of intra-Dinantian unconformities

   An interdisciplinary biostratigraphical study of Tournaisian–early Viséan sedimentary rocks from six sections in central Scotland has established the ranges of important palynomorph and ostracod taxa that can be used to […]

9. Snow moulds in polar environments

   Snow moulds are fungi and fungal-like microbes that occur frequently as pathogens of moss and vascular plant species in the Arctic and Antarctic, chiefly in maritime areas with permanent snow […]

11. Soil fungal community composition does not alter along a latitudinal gradient through the maritime and sub-Antarctic

    We investigated the relationships between fungal community composition, latitude and a range of physicochemical parameters in 58 soils sampled from a 2370 km latitudinal gradient between South Georgia (54°S, 38°W) […]

12. The influence of eddy parameterizations on the transport of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current in coupled climate models

    The transport of the AntarcticCircumpolarCurrent (ACC) varies strongly across the coupled GCMs (general circulation models) used for the IPCC AR4. This note shows that a large fraction of this across-model […]
