Autonomous underwater vehicle exploration of the ocean cavity beneath an Antarctic ice shelf
Read more of: Autonomous underwater vehicle exploration of the ocean cavity beneath an Antarctic ice shelfIn recent years, mass loss from the Antarctic Ice Sheet has contributed nearly 0.5 mm yr–1 to global mean sea level rise, about one-sixth of the current rate (Church et […]

The Southern Ocean Observing System
Read more of: The Southern Ocean Observing SystemThe Southern Ocean includes the only latitude band where the ocean circles the earth unobstructed by continental boundaries. This accident of geography has profound consequences for global ocean circulation, biogeochemical […]

Mindanao current/undercurrent in an eddy-resolving GCM
Read more of: Mindanao current/undercurrent in an eddy-resolving GCMAnalysis of results from an eddy-resolving general circulation model showed two subsurface velocity cores in the mean within the depth range between 400 and 1000 m below the Mindanao Current […]

A ‘continuity-index’ for assessing ice-sheet dynamics from radar-sounded internal layers
Read more of: A ‘continuity-index’ for assessing ice-sheet dynamics from radar-sounded internal layersRadio-echo sounding (RES) of polar ice sheets reveals extensive internal layering. The degree of continuity of internal layering holds critical information about the ice-flow field, but previous analyses of this […]

An ice-core proxy for northerly air mass incursions into West Antarctica
Read more of: An ice-core proxy for northerly air mass incursions into West AntarcticaA 200-year proxy for northerly air mass incursions (NAMI) into central and western West Antarctica is developed from the examination of 19 shallow (21–150 m deep) Antarctic ice-core non-sea-salt (nss) […]

Occurrence of the on-native annual Bluegrass on the Antarctic mainland and its negative effects on native plants
Read more of: Occurrence of the on-native annual Bluegrass on the Antarctic mainland and its negative effects on native plantsFew non-native species have colonized Antarctica, although increased human activity and accelerated climate change may increase their number, distributional range, and effects on native species on the continent. We searched […]

Recent Antarctic Peninsula warming relative to Holocene climate and ice shelf history
Read more of: Recent Antarctic Peninsula warming relative to Holocene climate and ice shelf historyRapid warming over the past 50 years on the Antarctic Peninsula is associated with the collapse of a number of ice shelves and accelerating glacier mass loss1, 2, 3, 4, 5, […]

Basal and field metabolic rates of Streaked Shearwater during the chick-rearing period
Read more of: Basal and field metabolic rates of Streaked Shearwater during the chick-rearing periodThe energetics of adult Streaked Shearwaters Calonectris leucomelas during the chick-rearing period were examined on Awa Island, Japan, in 2008 and 2009. Basal metabolic rates (BMR) were quantified using an […]

Palynomorph and ostracod biostratigraphy of the Ballagan Formation, Midland Valley of Scotland and elucidation of intra-Dinantian unconformities
Read more of: Palynomorph and ostracod biostratigraphy of the Ballagan Formation, Midland Valley of Scotland and elucidation of intra-Dinantian unconformitiesAn interdisciplinary biostratigraphical study of Tournaisian–early Viséan sedimentary rocks from six sections in central Scotland has established the ranges of important palynomorph and ostracod taxa that can be used to […]

Snow moulds in polar environments
Read more of: Snow moulds in polar environmentsSnow moulds are fungi and fungal-like microbes that occur frequently as pathogens of moss and vascular plant species in the Arctic and Antarctic, chiefly in maritime areas with permanent snow […]
