2. Tidal vertical mixing beneath Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf

   High Salinity Shelf Water (HSSW) flowing into the cavity beneath Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf (FRIS) occupies the lower portion of the water column. Tidal mixing is likely to be a primary […]

3. Future hot water drilling on Rutford Ice Stream 2004/05

   Ice streams are major drainage routes, through which much of the ice in Antarctica flows from the continent. They flow at speeds of up to two orders of magnitude greater […]

4. Antarctica: closer than you think

   British Antarctic Survey director Chris Rapley (above) first conceived the idea of an International Polar Year back in early 2003. It has now grown into the world’s largest coordinated science […]

5. Multicolony tracking reveals the winter distribution of a pelagic seabird on an ocean basin scale

   Aim: An understanding of the non-breeding distribution and ecology of migratory species is necessary for successful conservation. Many seabirds spend the non-breeding season far from land, and information on their […]

6. First Molecular Evidence for Underestimated Biodiversity of Rhachotropis (Crustacea, Amphipoda), with Description of a New Species

   The crustacean genus Rhachotropis has a worldwide distribution and amongst the largest bathymetric range known from any amphipod genus. DNA barcoding of new material from around New Zealand and the […]

8. The Carrington event not observed in most ice core nitrate records

   The Carrington Event of 1859 is considered to be among the largest space weather events of the last 150 years. We show that only one out of 14 well-resolved ice […]

9. Contrasting the responses of three different ground-based instruments to energetic electron precipitation

   In order to make best use of the opportunities provided by space missions such as the Radiation Belt Storm Probes, we determine the response of complementary subionospheric radiowave propagation measurements […]

11. Oceanographic conditions beneath Ronne Ice Shelf: a comparison between model and field data

    Within the cavity beneath Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf (FRIS), High Salinity Shelf Water (HSSW) is transformed into Ice Shelf Water (ISW) by a combination of melting and freezing at the ice […]

12. Measuring the basal melt rate of Antarctic ice shelves using GPS and phase-sensitive radar observations

    Basal melting of Antarctica’s floating ice shelves accounts for between 15 and 35% of the total mass loss from the ice sheet and helps to precondition the shelf waters for […]
