1. The Ronne Ice Shelf survived the last interglacial

   The fate of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) is the largest cause of uncertainty in long-term sea-level projections. In the last interglacial (LIG) around 125,000 years ago, data suggest […]

2. Remote mapping of bedrock for future cosmogenic nuclide exposure dating studies in unvisited areas of Antarctica

   Cosmogenic nuclide exposure dating is an important technique for reconstructing glacial histories. Many of the most commonly applied cosmogenic nuclides are extracted from the mineral quartz, meaning sampling of felsic […]

3. Length-mass relationships for aquatic insects of Navarino Island, extreme southern Chile

   Biomass is a key parameter in ecology, as it provides insight into ecosystem functioning. Length-mass estimations are widely used for this purpose due to the relatively simple and straightforward procedures […]

4. Terrestrial and freshwater invertebrate science in Svalbard in a changing world: from regional to pan-Arctic scales (STAFIEN – Svalbard Terrestrial and Freshwater Invertebrate Ecology Network)

   Invertebrates are ubiquitous. Diverse in form and function, they play crucial roles in ecosystems: for example as food for other organisms, as pollinators, and as decomposers. Invertebrate species vastly outnumber […]

5. Calculations of extreme sea level rise scenarios are strongly dependent on ice sheet model resolution

   The West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) is losing ice and its annual contribution to sea level is increasing. The future behaviour of WAIS will impact societies worldwide, yet deep uncertainty […]

6. The biodiversity of ice-free Antarctica database [Data paper]

   Antarctica is one of Earth’s most untouched, inhospitable, and poorly known regions. Although knowledge of its biodiversity has increased over recent decades, a diverse, wide-ranging, and spatially explicit compilation of […]

7. Multiple eco-regions contribute to the seasonal cycle of Antarctic aerosol size distributions

   In order to reduce the uncertainty of aerosol radiative forcing in global climate models, we need to better understand natural aerosol sources which are important to constrain the current and […]

8. Streamflow prediction using artificial neural networks and soil moisture proxies

   Machine learning models have been used extensively in hydrology, but issues persist with regard to their transparency, and there is currently no identifiable best practice for forcing variables in streamflow […]

9. The challenge of land in a neural network ocean model

   Machine learning (ML) techniques have emerged as a powerful tool for predicting weather and climate systems. However, much of the progress to date focuses on predicting the short-term evolution of […]

10. Machine learning for stochastic parametrization

    Atmospheric models used for weather and climate prediction are traditionally formulated in a deterministic manner. In other words, given a particular state of the resolved scale variables, the most likely […]

11. A dataset of Antarctic ecosystems in ice-free lands: classification, descriptions, and maps

    Antarctica, Earth’s least understood and most remote continent, is threatened by human disturbances and climate-related changes, underscoring the imperative for biodiversity inventories to inform conservation. Antarctic ecosystems support unique species […]
