Melting of floating ice and sea level rise
[1] Contrary to popular belief, the melting of floating ice (in the form of ice shelves, icebergs and sea ice) may have a non-zero impact on sea level. This is […]

Applying new tools to cephalopod trophic dynamics and ecology: perspectives from the Southern Ocean Cephalopod Workshop, February 2-3, 2006
Read more of: Applying new tools to cephalopod trophic dynamics and ecology: perspectives from the Southern Ocean Cephalopod Workshop, February 2-3, 2006A two day workshop on Southern Ocean cephalopods was held in Hobart, Tasmania, Australia prior to the triennial 2006 Cephalopod International Advisory Council (CIAC) symposium. The workshop provided a second […]

Statistical significance of the association between whistler-mode chorus enhancements and enhanced convection periods during high-speed streams
Read more of: Statistical significance of the association between whistler-mode chorus enhancements and enhanced convection periods during high-speed streamsDuring high-speed solar wind streams, substorms occur repetitively and relativistic electron fluxes enhance significantly. It has recently been proposed that enhanced dawnside chorus waves lead to the energization of the […]

The influence of regional circulation patterns on wet and dry mineral dust and sea salt deposition over Greenland
Read more of: The influence of regional circulation patterns on wet and dry mineral dust and sea salt deposition over GreenlandAnnually resolved ice core records from different regions over the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) are used to investigate the spatial and temporal vari- ability of calcium (Ca2+, mainly from mineral […]

Response of the inner and outer magnetosphere to solar wind density fluctuations during the recovery phase of a moderate magnetic storm
Read more of: Response of the inner and outer magnetosphere to solar wind density fluctuations during the recovery phase of a moderate magnetic stormWe examine the geomagnetic field and space plasma disturbances developing simultaneously in the solar wind, in the inner and outer magnetosphere, and on the ground from 0730 to 2030 UT […]

Simulation of the climatic effects of natural forcings during the pre-industrial era
Read more of: Simulation of the climatic effects of natural forcings during the pre-industrial eraThe MPM-2, an Earth system model of intermediate complexity, is employed to study the climate system response to natural forcings during the pre-industrial era (1000-1800 AD), with a special focus […]

Functional microarray analysis of nitrogen and carbon cycling genes across an Antarctic latitudinal transect
Read more of: Functional microarray analysis of nitrogen and carbon cycling genes across an Antarctic latitudinal transectSoil-borne microbial communities were examined via a functional gene microarray approach across a southern polar latitudinal gradient to gain insight into the environmental factors steering soil Nand C-cycling in terrestrial […]

Size and structure of bacterial, fungal and nematode communities along an Antarctic environmental gradient
Read more of: Size and structure of bacterial, fungal and nematode communities along an Antarctic environmental gradientThe unusually harsh environmental conditions of terrestrial Antarctic habitats result in ecosystems with simplified trophic structures, where microbial processes are especially dominant as drivers of soil-borne nutrient cycling. We examined […]

Interannual variation in cephalopod consumption by albatrosses at South Georgia: implications for future commercial exploitation of cephalopods
Read more of: Interannual variation in cephalopod consumption by albatrosses at South Georgia: implications for future commercial exploitation of cephalopodsAssessing the consumption of prey by predators in the marine environment is key to fisheries assessment and management. Although environmental and ecological variations can affect the consumption of certain prey […]

Atmospheric trends and radiative forcings of CF4 and C2F6 inferred from firn air
Read more of: Atmospheric trends and radiative forcings of CF4 and C2F6 inferred from firn airThe atmospheric histories of two potent greenhouse gases, tetrafluoromethane (CF4) and hexafluoroethane (C2F6), have been reconstructed for the 20th century based on firn air measurements from both hemispheres. The reconstructed […]
