Oceanographic conditions beneath Ronne Ice Shelf: a comparison between model and field data
Read more of: Oceanographic conditions beneath Ronne Ice Shelf: a comparison between model and field dataWithin 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 […]

Measuring the basal melt rate of Antarctic ice shelves using GPS and phase-sensitive radar observations
Read more of: Measuring the basal melt rate of Antarctic ice shelves using GPS and phase-sensitive radar observationsBasal 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 […]

Pelagic provinces of the world: A biogeographic classification of the world’s surface pelagic waters
Read more of: Pelagic provinces of the world: A biogeographic classification of the world’s surface pelagic watersOff-shelf waters cover 66% of the planet. Growing concerns about the state of natural resources in these waters, and of future threats have led to a growing movement to improve […]

Physiological traits of organisms in a changing environment
Read more of: Physiological traits of organisms in a changing environmentAntarctic ecosystems represent one extreme of the continuum of environmental conditions across the planet. To our eyes, the environment appears harsh but, even though terrestrial biological diversity is restricted, a […]

Distribution, lithofacies and environmental context of Neogene glacial sequences on James Ross and Vega islands, Antarctic Peninsula
Read more of: Distribution, lithofacies and environmental context of Neogene glacial sequences on James Ross and Vega islands, Antarctic PeninsulaConsiderable controversy exists concerning the stability of the Antarctic Ice Sheet during the Neogene Period. The northern Antarctic Peninsula is in a critical position in this debate as it represents […]

Steep reverse bed slope at the grounding line of the Weddell Sea sector in West Antarctica
Read more of: Steep reverse bed slope at the grounding line of the Weddell Sea sector in West AntarcticaThe bed of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is, in places, more than 1.5 km below sea level1, 2. It has been suggested that a positive ice-loss feedback may occur when […]

Patterns of marine bacterioplankton biodiversity in the surface waters of the Scotia Arc, Southern Ocean
Read more of: Patterns of marine bacterioplankton biodiversity in the surface waters of the Scotia Arc, Southern OceanSpatial patchiness in marine surface bacterioplankton populations was investigated in the Southern Ocean, where the Antarctic Circumpolar Current meets the islands of the Scotia Arc and is subjected to terrestrial […]
