The need to implement the Convention on Biological Diversity at the high latitude site, South Georgia
Read more of: The need to implement the Convention on Biological Diversity at the high latitude site, South GeorgiaThe multilateral failure to apply the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) by the target year 2010 was headline news as are the accelerating climatic changes which dictate its urgency. Some […]

Sensitivity of Pliocene ice sheets to orbital forcing
Read more of: Sensitivity of Pliocene ice sheets to orbital forcingThe stability of the Earth’s major ice sheets is a critical uncertainty in predictions of future climate and sea level change. One method of investigating the behaviour of the Greenland […]

Cryoprotective dehydration: clues from an insect
Read more of: Cryoprotective dehydration: clues from an insectArthropods have evolved a number of different adaptations to survive extreme environmental temperatures including, in some regions, over-wintering temperatures well below 0°C. One of the less common adaptations to surviving […]

Location for direct access to subglacial Lake Ellsworth: An assessment of geophysical data and modeling
Read more of: Location for direct access to subglacial Lake Ellsworth: An assessment of geophysical data and modelingSubglacial Lake Ellsworth has been proposed as a candidate for direct measurement and sampling, to identify microbial life and extract sedimentary climate records. We present a detailed characterization of the […]

Comparison of zooplankton vertical migration in an ice-free and a seasonally ice-covered Arctic fjord: An insight into the influence of sea ice cover on zooplankton behaviour
Read more of: Comparison of zooplankton vertical migration in an ice-free and a seasonally ice-covered Arctic fjord: An insight into the influence of sea ice cover on zooplankton behaviourWe present observations of zooplankton diel vertical migration (DVM) over a period of 2 yr in an ice-free and a seasonally ice-covered Arctic fjord. The contrasting environments permitted assessment of […]

Structuring effects of climate-related environmental factors on Antarctic microbial mat communities
Read more of: Structuring effects of climate-related environmental factors on Antarctic microbial mat communitiesBoth ground-based and satellite data show that parts of Antarctica have entered a period of rapid climate change, which already affects the functioning and productivity of limnetic ecosystems. To predict […]
