Impact of climate change on Southern Ocean sink for CO2 and marine ecosystems
Read more of: Impact of climate change on Southern Ocean sink for CO2 and marine ecosystemsMarine ecosystems (here referring to plankton assemblages) play an important role in climate because they maintain the atmospheric concentration of CO2 at 200 ppm lower than it would be in […]

The biodiversity and ecology of Antarctic lakes: models for evolution
Read more of: The biodiversity and ecology of Antarctic lakes: models for evolutionAntarctic lakes are characterised by simplified, truncated food webs. The lakes range from freshwater to hypersaline with a continuum of physical and chemical conditions that offer a natural laboratory in […]

West Antarctic Ice Sheet change since the last glacial period
Read more of: West Antarctic Ice Sheet change since the last glacial periodThe potential for rapid deglaciation, or collapse, of the 2–million–square–kilometer West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) in response to climate change is one of the most serious environmental threats facing mankind. […]

New ice thickness maps of Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf, Antarctica, with specific focus on grounding lines and marine ice
Read more of: New ice thickness maps of Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf, Antarctica, with specific focus on grounding lines and marine iceFor the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf we have compiled measurements of meteoric ice thickness from many institutions, and several different techniques (e.g. radar and seismic sounding) to produce an improved digital […]

Fisheries in the Southern Ocean: an ecosystem approach
Read more of: Fisheries in the Southern Ocean: an ecosystem approachThe Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) is bound by its Article II, 3 to follow an ecosystem approach to management. This approach has been extended […]

Did ice streams shape the largest channels on Mars?
Read more of: Did ice streams shape the largest channels on Mars?The largest channels on Mars are the Northwestern Slope Valleys (NSVs) of Tharsis, which have previously been interpreted as the probable erosional trace of catastrophic flooding. It is argued here […]
