Multicolony tracking reveals the winter distribution of a pelagic seabird on an ocean basin scale
Read more of: Multicolony tracking reveals the winter distribution of a pelagic seabird on an ocean basin scaleAim: 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 […]

The Carrington event not observed in most ice core nitrate records
Read more of: The Carrington event not observed in most ice core nitrate recordsThe 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 […]

Contrasting the responses of three different ground-based instruments to energetic electron precipitation
Read more of: Contrasting the responses of three different ground-based instruments to energetic electron precipitationIn 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 […]

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 […]
