1. Antarctic biology, the International Polar Year, and beyond

   As we draw towards the end of the massive effort that has been the International Polar Year (IPY), it is opportune to consider what impact it has had on Antarctic […]

2. Palaeoglaciology of the Alexander Island ice cap, western Antarctic Peninsula, reconstructed from marine geophysical and core data

   The glacial history of the continental shelf northwest of Alexander Island is not well known, due mainly to a lack of targeted marine data on Antarctica’s palaeo-ice sheets in their […]

3. An Emperor Penguin population estimate: The first global, synoptic survey of a species from space

   Our aim was to estimate the population of emperor penguins (Aptenodytes fosteri) using a single synoptic survey. We examined the whole continental coastline of Antarctica using a combination of medium […]

4. Amundsen Sea bathymetry: The benefits of using gravity data for bathymetric prediction

   Bathymetric charts are essential for modeling oceanic processes, yet, in remote areas, direct measurements of seafloor depth are often scarce. It is possible to augment sparse depth soundings with dense […]

5. Predictability of extreme events in a nonlinear stochastic-dynamical model

   The objective of this work is to evaluate the potential of reduced order models to reproduce the extreme event and predictability characteristics of higher dimensional dynamical systems. A nonlinear toy […]

6. ESA’s new range of radar altimeters for the extraction of geophysical parameters from land, sea ice and ocean surfaces

   Despite the loss of CryoSat, ESA’s first Earth opportunity mission, during its launch sequence in Oct 2005 ESA have been fortunate enough to have acquired, processed to Level 1b and […]

7. Observations of Thermohaline Convection adjacent to Brunt Ice Shelf

   Observations were made of ocean microstructure and horizontal currents adjacent to Brunt Ice Shelf in the southeastern Weddell Sea. Periods of in situ supercooled water extending as deep as 65 […]

8. Continent-wide risk assessment for the establishment of nonindigenous species in Antarctica

   Invasive alien species are among the primary causes of biodiversity change globally, with the risks thereof broadly understood for most regions of the world. They are similarly thought to be […]

9. Snow blindness and other eye problems during the heroic age of Antarctic exploration

   During the heroic age of Antarctic exploration, snow blindness was a common problem, but not all the descriptions of it lit the modern view of the disease, and some of […]

10. The Antarctic ozone during 2010

    The Antarctic ozone hole of 2010 is reviewed from a variety of perspectives, making use of various data and analyses. Based on total column ozone metrics, the 2010 ozone hole […]

11. Migratory carryover effects and endocrinological correlates of reproductive decisions and reproductive success in female albatrosses

    Physiological mechanisms mediating carryover effects, wherein events or activities occurring in one season, habitat, or life-history stage affect important processes in subsequent life-history stages, are largely unknown. The mechanism most […]

12. Species tree of a recent radiation: The subfamily Delphininae (Cetacea, Mammalia)

    Lineages undergoing rapid radiations provide exceptional opportunities for studying speciation and adaptation, but also represent a challenge for molecular systematics because retention of ancestral polymorphisms and the occurrence of hybridization […]
