1. First record of the cyanobacterial genus Wilmottia (Coleofasciculaceae, Oscillatoriales) from the South Orkney Islands (Antarctica)

   Two cyanobacterial morphotypes isolated from Signy Island, South Orkney Islands, maritime Antarctica were characterised using a polyphasic approach combining morphological, cytological and molecular analyses. These analyses showed that the strains […]

2. Anisotropy parameterization development and evaluation for glacier surface albedo retrieval from satellite observations.

   Glacier albedo determines the net shortwave radiation absorbed at the glacier surface and plays a crucial role in glacier energy and mass balance. Remote sensing techniques are efficient means to […]

3. Utilising IPCC assessments to support the ecosystem approach to fisheries management within a warming Southern Ocean

   Southern Ocean marine ecosystems are highly vulnerable to climate-driven change, the impacts of which must be factored into conservation and management. The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living […]

4. The use of response surface methodology as a statistical tool for the optimisation of waste and pure canola oil biodegradation by Antarctic soil bacteria

   Hydrocarbons can cause pollution to Antarctic terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, both through accidental release and the discharge of waste cooking oil in grey water. Such pollutants can persist for long […]

5. Observed interannual changes beneath Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf linked to large-scale atmospheric circulation

   Floating ice shelves are the Achilles’ heel of the Antarctic Ice Sheet. They limit Antarctica’s contribution to global sea level rise, yet they can be rapidly melted from beneath by […]

6. Two new species of the mite genus Stereotydeus Berlese, 1901 (Prostigmata: Penthalodidae) from Victoria Land, and a key for identification of Antarctic and sub-Antarctic species.

   Two new mite species belonging to the genus Stereotydeus Berlese, 1901 were discovered from locations along the coast of Victoria Land, continental Antarctica. Previous records of this genus in the […]

7. Ice drilling on Skytrain Ice Rise and Sherman Island, Antarctica

   To understand the long-term climate and glaciological evolution of the ice sheet in the region bordering the Weddell Sea, the British Antarctic Survey has undertaken a series of successful ice […]

8. Activities of small‐scale gravity waves in the upper mesosphere observed from meteor radar at King Sejong Station, Antarctica (62.22°S, 58.78°W) and their potential sources

   Gravity wave (GW) activities in the upper mesosphere (80–100 km) and their potential sources are investigated using meteor radar observations at King Sejong Station, Antarctica (KSS; 62.22°S, 58.78°W) during recent […]

9. A bivalve biomineralization toolbox

   Mollusc shells are a result of the deposition of crystalline and amorphous calcite catalysed by enzymes and shell matrix proteins. Developing a detailed understanding of bivalve mollusc biomineralization pathways is […]

11. Robust model-based indicators of regional differences in food-web structure in the Southern Ocean

    Efforts to model marine food-webs are generally undertaken by small teams working separately on specific regions (

12. Local- and large-scale drivers of variability in the coastal freshwater budget of the Western Antarctic Peninsula

    The west Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) is a region of marked climatic variability, exhibiting strong changes in sea ice extent, retreat of most of its glaciers, and shifts in the amount […]
