Understanding basal processes across ice-sheet grounding lines is crucial in accurately modeling ice-sheet dynamics and estimating global sea-level rise. The grounding line, which demarcates the specific boundary between a grounded ice sheet and a floating ice shelf…
Changes in sea ice conditions and atmospheric circulation over the Southern Ocean play an important role in modulating Antarctic climate. However, observations of both sea ice and wind conditions are limited in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, both temporally and spatially…
Compared to temperate and tropical relatives, some high-latitude marine species are large-bodied, a phenomenon known as polar gigantism. A leading hypothesis on the physiological basis of gigantism … posits that, in polar water…
We compiled and reviewed 248 cases of reported vessel collisions with small cetaceans worldwide and with large … cetaceans in the Southern Hemisphere. Difficulties were encountered with the comparison of highly variable data in … terms of quality (evidence), sources…
Abstract Since it is the largest glacier system in Antarctica, the Lambert Glacier basin plays an important role in the mass balance of the overall Antarctic ice sheet.
An assessment of the glaciological and meteorological characteristics of Dome A, the … summit of the East Antarctic ice sheet, is made based on field investigations during the austral summer of … 2004/05.
Lowest temperature and snow accumulation rate are preconditions for retrieving the oldest ice core … from the polar ice sheets. The 10-m depth firn temperature at Dome A, the summit of the Antarctic Ice … Sheet, recorded by an automatic weather station (AWS) was −58.3 in 2005 and −58.2 in 2006…
