The first firn core from Peter 1st Island – capturing climate variability across the Bellingshausen Sea
Read more of: The first firn core from Peter 1st Island – capturing climate variability across the Bellingshausen SeaPeter I Island is situated in the Bellingshausen Sea, a region that has experienced considerable climate change in recent decades. Warming sea surface temperatures and reduced sea ice cover have […]

Slowdown of Antarctic Bottom Water export driven by climatic wind and sea ice changes
Read more of: Slowdown of Antarctic Bottom Water export driven by climatic wind and sea ice changesAntarctic Bottom Water (AABW) is pivotal for oceanic heat and carbon sequestrations on multidecadal-to-millennial timescales. The Weddell Sea contributes nearly a half of global AABW through Weddell Sea Deep Water […]

Evaporative controls on Antarctic precipitation: an ECHAM6 model study using innovative water tracer diagnostics
Read more of: Evaporative controls on Antarctic precipitation: an ECHAM6 model study using innovative water tracer diagnosticsImproving our understanding of the controls on Antarctic precipitation is critical for gaining insights into past and future polar and global environmental changes. Here we develop innovative water tracing diagnostics […]

Coupled ice–ocean interactions during future retreat of West Antarctic ice streams in the Amundsen Sea sector
Read more of: Coupled ice–ocean interactions during future retreat of West Antarctic ice streams in the Amundsen Sea sectorThe Amundsen Sea sector has some of the fastest-thinning ice shelves in Antarctica, caused by high, ocean-driven basal melt rates, which can lead to increased ice streamflow, causing increased sea […]

Genomics of cold adaptations in the Antarctic notothenioid fish radiation
Read more of: Genomics of cold adaptations in the Antarctic notothenioid fish radiationNumerous novel adaptations characterise the radiation of notothenioids, the dominant fish group in the freezing seas of the Southern Ocean. To improve understanding of the evolution of this iconic fish […]

Characterising ice slab in firn using seismic full waveform inversion, a sensitivity study
Read more of: Characterising ice slab in firn using seismic full waveform inversion, a sensitivity studyThe density structure of firn has implications for hydrological and climate modelling, and ice-shelf stability. The structure of firn can be evaluated from depth models of seismic velocity, widely obtained […]

Extreme Relativistic Electron Fluxes in GPS Orbit: Analysis of NS41 BDD‐IIR Data
Read more of: Extreme Relativistic Electron Fluxes in GPS Orbit: Analysis of NS41 BDD‐IIR DataRelativistic electrons in the Earth’s outer radiation belt are a significant space weather hazard. Satellites in GPS-type orbits pass through the heart of the outer radiation belt where they may […]

Rafting behaviour of albatrosses and petrels at South Georgia
Read more of: Rafting behaviour of albatrosses and petrels at South GeorgiaSeabirds often spend time on the water in the vicinity of their breeding colonies at the start or end of foraging trips, which may be for bathing, social interaction, information […]

New Insights on the Precursors to the Onset of Equatorial Plasma Irregularity Generation
Read more of: New Insights on the Precursors to the Onset of Equatorial Plasma Irregularity GenerationThis work presents some new findings in terms of the vertical propagation speeds of gravity waves in the daytime as possible precursors to the ESF. These findings have resulted from […]

A dynamic framework for assessing and managing risks to ecosystems from fisheries: demonstration for conserving the krill-based food web in Antarctica
Read more of: A dynamic framework for assessing and managing risks to ecosystems from fisheries: demonstration for conserving the krill-based food web in AntarcticaThe ecosystem approach to fisheries has been discussed since the 1980s. It aims to reduce risks from fisheries to whole, or components of, ecosystems, not just to target species. Precautionary […]
