Understanding place attachment to remote environments: An Antarctic case study
Geographical Research, EarlyView.Abstract The Anthropocene presents unique challenges for humanity’s relationship with remote environments. Transboundary environmental problems, such as climate change or plastics pollution, affect places that are beyond most people’s direct experience.

The long-term sea-level commitment from Antarctica [PDF]
The CryosphereThe evolution of the Antarctic Ice Sheet is of vital importance given the coastal and societal implications of ice loss, with a potential to raise sea level by up to 58 m if it melts entirely.

Southern Ocean deep convection as a driver of Antarctic warming events [PDF]
, 2016 Simulations with a free-running coupled climate model show that heat release associated with Southern Ocean deep convection variability can drive centennial-scale Antarctic temperature variations of up to 2.0 °C.

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Conservation of marine ecosystems can be improved through a better understanding of ecosystem functioning, particularly the cryptic underwater behaviours and interactions of marine predators. Image‐based bio‐logging devices (including images, videos and active acoustic) are increasingly used to monitor wildlife movements, foraging behaviours ...

A Bayesian Model for 20th Century Antarctic Sea Ice Extent Reconstruction
Earth and Space ScienceAntarctic sea ice, a key component in the complex Antarctic climate system, is an important driver and indicator of the global climate. In the relatively short satellite‐observed period from 1979 to 2022 the sea ice extent has continuously increased ...

Cool episodes in the Late Cretaceous - exploring the effects of physical forcing on Antarctic snow accumulation [PDF]
, 2010 Until recently it was assumed that the major modern ice sheets on Antarctica became established around the Eocene-Oligocene boundary about 34 Ma ago. But new evidence (e.g.

Simulating the 128-ka Antarctic climate response to Northern Hemisphere ice sheet melting using the isotope-enabled HadCM3 [PDF]
, 2018 Warmer than present Antarctic and Southern Ocean temperatures during the last interglacial, approximately 128,000 years ago, have been attributed to changes in north‐south ocean heat transport, causing opposing hemispheric temperature anomalies.

Accounting &Finance, EarlyView.Abstract Regulators increasingly require organisations to disclose their climate‐related financial risks. Most future physical climate risks present unique challenges, however, as their likely occurrence and consequence cannot be quantified with veracity at business‐relevant scales.

Archaeometry, EarlyView.Abstract The use of stone hammers to produce sharp stone flakes—knapping—is thought to represent a significant stage in hominin technological evolution because it facilitated the exploitation of novel resources, including meat obtained from medium‐to‐large‐sized vertebrates. The invention of knapping may have occurred via an additive (i.e., cumulative)

Modeling the oxygen isotope composition of the Antarctic ice sheet and its significance to Pliocene sea leve [PDF]
, 2016 Recent estimates of global mean sea level based on the oxygen isotope composition of mid-Pliocene benthic foraminifera vary from 9 to 21 m above present, which has differing implications for the past stability of the Antarctic ice sheet during an ...
