Genetic population structure in the Antarctic benthos: insights from the widespread amphipod, Orchomenella franklini. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Currently there is very limited understanding of genetic population structure in the Antarctic benthos. We conducted one of the first studies of microsatellite variation in an Antarctic benthic invertebrate, using the ubiquitous amphipod Orchomenella ...

Radiometric Constraints on the Timing, Tempo, and Effects of Large Igneous Province Emplacement
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 27-82., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Ice core evidence for a second volcanic eruption around 1809 in the Northern Hemisphere [PDF]
, 2006 A volcanic signal observed in ice cores from both polar regions six years prior to Tambora is attributed to an unknown tropical eruption in 1809. Recovery of dacitic tephra from the 1809 horizon in a Yukon ice core (Eclipse) that is chemically distinct ...

Ice Nucleating Particles in the Antarctic region
, 2022 <p>Ice nucleating particles (INPs) are rare but important atmospheric particles as they induce the formation of primary ice in mixed phase clouds and also in some cirrus clouds. A plethora of substances which can be found in atmospheric particles can induce ice nucleation. The most important ice active particle types in the atmosphere are
