Modelling the physical multiphase interactions of HNO3 between snow and air on the Antarctic Plateau (Dome C) and coast (Halley)
Read more of: Modelling the physical multiphase interactions of HNO3 between snow and air on the Antarctic Plateau (Dome C) and coast (Halley)Emissions of nitrogen oxide (NOx = NO + NO2) from the photolysis of nitrate (NO3−) in snow affect the oxidising capacity of the lower troposphere especially in remote regions of high latitudes with little […]

Stepping stones to isolation: impacts of a changing climate on the connectivity of fragmented fish populations
Read more of: Stepping stones to isolation: impacts of a changing climate on the connectivity of fragmented fish populationsIn the marine environment, understanding the biophysical mechanisms that drive variability in larval dispersal and population connectivity is essential for estimating the potential impacts of climate change on the resilience […]

Coastal polynyas: Winter oases for subadult southern elephant seals in East Antarctica
Read more of: Coastal polynyas: Winter oases for subadult southern elephant seals in East AntarcticaAntarctic coastal polynyas are regions of persistent open water and are thought to be key bio-physical features within the sea-ice zone. However, their use by the upper trophic levels of […]

Prospects for reconstructing paleoenvironmental conditions from organic compounds in polar snow and ice
Read more of: Prospects for reconstructing paleoenvironmental conditions from organic compounds in polar snow and icePolar ice cores provide information about past climate and environmental changes over periods ranging from a few years up to 800,000 years. The majority of chemical studies have focused on […]

Glacial meltwater identification in the Amundsen Sea
Read more of: Glacial meltwater identification in the Amundsen SeaPine Island Ice Shelf, in the Amundsen Sea, is losing mass because of warm ocean waters melting the ice from below. Tracing meltwater pathways from ice shelves is important for […]

Impacts of rising sea temperatures on krill increase risks for predators in the Scotia Sea
Read more of: Impacts of rising sea temperatures on krill increase risks for predators in the Scotia SeaClimate change is a threat to marine ecosystems and the services they provide, and reducing fishing pressure is one option for mitigating the overall consequences for marine biota. We used […]
