1. The impact of bright artificial white and ‘blue-enriched’ light on sleep and circadian phase during the polar winter

   Delayed sleep phase (and sometimes free-run) is common in the Antarctic winter (no natural sunlight) and optimizing the artificial light conditions is desirable. This project evaluated sleep when using 17 […]

2. First recorded loss of an emperor penguin colony in the recent period of Antarctic regional warming: implications for other colonies

   In 1948, a small colony of emperor penguins Aptenodytes forsteri was discovered breeding on Emperor Island (67 degrees 51′ 52 ” S, 68 degrees 42′ 20 ” W), in the […]

3. On the persistence and predictability properties of North Atlantic climate variability

   The persistence and climate noise properties of North Atlantic climate variability are of importance for trend identification and assessing predictability on all time scales from several days to many decades. […]

4. Structural changes to a mycothallus along a latitudinal transect through the maritime and sub-Antarctic

   Previous studies have shown the leafy liverwort Cephaloziella varians to associate consistently with fungi, typically the ericoid mycorrhizal symbiont Rhizoscyphus ericae, across a wide latitudinal gradient in the maritime and […]

5. The importance of wind blown snow redistribution to snow accumulation on and mass balance of Bellingshausen Sea ice

   Snow distribution is a dominating factor in sea-ice mass balance in the Bellingshausen Sea, Antarctica, through its roles in insulating the ice and contributing to snow-ice production. The wind has […]

6. An international effort to quantify regional carbon fluxes

   The international carbon cycle research community is currently coordinating the largest, most comprehensive assessment it has ever undertaken: the Regional Carbon Cycle Assessment and Processes (RECCAP; http://www.globalcarbonproject.org/reccap). The objective is […]

7. An analysis of precipitation data from the Antarctic base Faraday/Vernadsky

   A recent study on cloud observations reports an increase in total cloud cover at Faraday/Vernadsky since 1960 in the annual and wintertime data. The aim of this present study is […]

9. Harmonic analysis of climatological temperature over Antarctica: present day and greenhouse warming perspectives

   On the basis of ERA40 and NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis (NNR) and simulations from CCCma, CCSM, CSIRO, HadCM3, MIROC-MEDRES and GFDL, which support the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 4th Assessment […]

10. Quantifying Antarctic marine biodiversity: The SCAR-MarBIN data portal

    The documentation and analysis of broad-scale biological diversity requires modern databases. Here we describe the SCAR-Marine Biodiversity Information Network (SCAR-MarBIN) and demonstrate its value with a preliminary analysis of geographic […]

11. The Southern Ocean: Source and sink?

    Many members of the benthic fauna of the Antarctic continental shelf share close phylogenetic relationships to the deep-sea fauna adjacent to Antarctica and in other ocean basins. It has been […]

12. Biodiversity change after climate-induced ice-shelf collapse in the Antarctic

    The marine ecosystem on the eastern shelf of the Antarctic Peninsula was surveyed 5 and 12 years after the climate-induced collapse of the Larsen A and B ice shelves. An […]
