McCormack F.Roberts J.Kulessa B.Aitken A.Dow C.F.Bird L.Galton-Fenzi B.K.Hochmuth K.Jones R.S.Mackintosh A.N.McArthur K.

Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The largest regional drivers of current surface elevation increases in the Antarctic Ice Sheet are associated with ice flow reconfiguration in previously active ice streams, highlighting the important role of ice dynamics in mass balance calculations. Here…

Emerging evidence of abrupt changes in the Antarctic environment Nature, 2025 (Ref: 17362)

Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Human-caused climate change worsens with every increment of additional warming, although some impacts can develop abruptly. The potential for abrupt changes is far less understood in the Antarctic compared with the Arctic, but evidence is emerging for rapid…

Gravity-derived Antarctic bathymetry using the Tomofast-x open-source code: a case study of Vincennes Bay The Cryosphere, 2025 (Ref: 17370)

Authors:

Bird L.A.Ogarko V.Ailleres l. Grose L.Giraud J.McCormack F.S.Gwyther D.E.Roberts J.Jones R.S.Macintosh A.N.

Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Vincennes Bay is a region of East Antarctica vulnerable to sub-ice shelf basal melting from warm ocean water intrusions. The sub-ice shelf bathymetry in this region is largely unknown, despite its importance for ocean dynamics within ice shelf cavities and associated sub-ice shelf basal melting.

Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The last glacial termination was characterised by millennial-scale episodes of warming and cooling that appear offset between the hemispheres. It has been proposed that this bi-polar seesaw is the result of climate system feedbacks. A key debate, which remains unresolved…

Can we use springtails to improve our understanding of Antarctic Ice Sheet history? — A case study from Dronning Maud Land Quaternary Science Reviews, 2025 (Ref: 17248)

Authors:

Cooper E.L.Stevens m. Jones R.S.Mackintosh A.

Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The presence of unique biological archives (e.g., springtails, Arthropoda: Collembola) in Antarctic ice-free regions provides powerful evidence for testing assumptions about when and how the current ice sheet reached its present-day configuration. Springtails, where present, may suggest long-term…

Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The first year of life is critical for large mammals to acquire foraging and predator avoidance skills. Southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina) pups wean at approximately three weeks of age and depart on their first foraging trips in midsummer…
