Macro- and megabenthic assemblages in the bathyal and abyssal Weddell Sea (Southern Ocean)
Read more of: Macro- and megabenthic assemblages in the bathyal and abyssal Weddell Sea (Southern Ocean)The assemblages inhabiting the continental shelf around Antarctica are known to be very patchy, in large part due to deep iceberg impacts. The present study shows that richness and abundance […]

Saturation of the Southern Ocean CO2 sink due to recent climate change
Read more of: Saturation of the Southern Ocean CO2 sink due to recent climate changeBased on observed atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration and an inverse method, we estimate that the Southern Ocean sink of CO2 has weakened between 1981 and 2004 by 0.08 petagrams […]

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. […]
