Unilateral Action on Climate Change and the Moral Obligation to Take Leadership
Journal of Social Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We claim that a moral obligation to take climate leadership by means of unilateral mitigation depends on the existence of a plausible follow‐the‐leader mechanism whereby unilateral mitigation by some increases the probability of sufficient mitigation by others to avert catastrophic climate impacts.

Spring–summer albedo variations of Antarctic sea ice from 1982 to 2009
Environmental Research Letters, 2015 This study examined the spring–summer (November, December, January and February) albedo averages and trends using a dataset consisting of 28 years of homogenized satellite data for the entire Antarctic sea ice region and for five longitudinal sectors ...

RIS-Vis: A Novel Visualization Platform for Seismic, Geodetic, and Weather Data Relevant to Antarctic Cryosphere Science [PDF]
arXivAntarctic ice shelves play a vital role in preserving the physical conditions of the Antarctic cryosphere and the Southern Ocean, and beyond. By serving as a buttressing force, ice shelves prevent sea-level rise by restraining the flow of continental ice and glaciers to the sea.

Projected Antarctic sea ice change contributes to increased occurrence of strong El Niño
npj Climate and Atmospheric ScienceCurrent climate models suggested that Antarctic sea ice cover would decrease substantially under cumulative CO2 emission, but little is known whether large decrease in Antarctic sea ice can influence the occurrence of strong El Niño.

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.Our study investigates the role of Tucker and Whitehall Glaciers as barriers to the dispersal of the springtail Kaylathalia klovstadi and examines its genetic population structure using mitochondrial DNA markers. Genetic analyses of 62 individuals from six populations reveal new insights into the species’ diversity and distribution, challenging ...

Comparative analysis of the molecular starvation response of Southern Ocean copepods
Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Large lipid‐storing copepods dominate mesozooplankton biomass in the polar oceans and form a critical link between primary production and higher trophic levels. The ecological success of these species depends on their ability to survive periods of food deprivation in a highly seasonal environment, but the molecular changes that mediate ...
