Using high-precision ice core measurements of CO2, ?13C-CO2, CH4, and N2O, this study provides carbon isotope constraints on a sizeable, centennial-scale CO2 jump at the onset of Marine Isotope Stage 9 (MIS 9). The very end of the Heinrich stadial (HS) characterizing Termination IV (T-IV, ca.
During deglaciations, Earth takes up vast amounts of energy, about half of which heats the global ocean. Thus, ocean heat content (OHC) is a key metric to assess Earth's energy budget.
Growth conditions in Antarctica are extreme, and the few plants that can … grow there are exposed to a highly seasonal, rapidly variable and often … extreme climate. In recent decades, these plants have also been exposed to … increased levels of UV-B radiation (UV-BR)…
Concentrations of UV-B absorbing pigments and anthocyanins were measured in three moss species, over a summer growing season in Antarctica. Significant seasonal differences were found in the potential UV-B screening pigments. The most exposed species, Ceratodon purpureus…
Antarctica is both the coldest and most arid continent on Earth, and experiences continuous … light in midsummer and continuous darkness in midwinter. These factors reduce the growth … rate of the continental Antarctic flora (mosses, lichens and algae) to a minimum.
Antarctica has been exposed to increases in ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation as a result of … ozone depletion for several decades. In addition, climate change will alter temperature and … water availability to plant communities over the next century. Recent studies…
The impact of ambient ultraviolet (UV)-B radiation on the endemic bryophyte, Grimmia … antarctici, was studied over 14 months in East Antarctica. Over recent decades, Antarctic … plants have been exposed to the largest relative increase in UV-B exposure as a result of … ozone depletion.
Antarctic bryophyte communities presently tolerate physiological extremes in water availability, surviving both desiccation and submergence events.
Seasonal changes in the photosynthetic and photoprotective pigment content of three species of Antarctic moss; Grimmia antarctici…

Over recent decades, Antarctic plants have been exposed to the … largest relative increase in UV-B exposure as a result of ozone … depletion. Open-sided plexiglass screens were used to reduce UV … levels by 77% over turves of the endemic Antarctic bryophyte, Grimmia antarctici…
Antarctic vegetation is exposed to elevated levels of UV-B … radiation (UVBR) as a result of ozone depletion. Three species of … co-occurring Antarctic bryophytes, Bryum pseudotriquetrum…
Seasonal changes in the photosynthetic and photoprotective pigment content of three species of Antarctic moss; Grimmia antarctici, Bryum pseudotriquetrum and Ceratodon purpureus were explored in relation to a range of environmental variables over the growing season in the Windmill Islands…
Natural variability in surface reflectance was studied in 3 species of moss (Grimmia antarctici, Bryum pseudotriquetrum and Ceratodon purpureus) in continental Antarctica. The moss community is well developed in Wilkes Land, eastern Antarctica…

Bryophytes (mosses and liverworts) are sensitive indicators of environmental change and with climate change expected to occur first at high latitudes, Antarctic bryophytes are ideal study systems for the detection of climate change effects.

Three ice dams in southeastern Vestfold Hills, East Antarctica, dam a system of five lakes periodically, impounding more than ~1.5 x 106 m3 of water. Dam #a impounds 1.1 x 106 m3 of water, while dams #b and #c prevent the free drainage of the lake below Dam #a, and impound the remaining 0.
