Decline in plankton diversity and carbon flux with reduced sea ice extent along the Western Antarctic Peninsula

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Since the middle of the past century, the Western Antarctic Peninsula has warmed rapidly with a significant loss of sea ice but the impacts on plankton biodiversity and carbon cycling remain an open question.

Quaternary sediment patterns in the Weddell Sea: relations and environmental conditions [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
Sediment patterns such as texture, composition, and facies from three selected areas of the Antarctic continental margin of the Weddell Sea are discussed in relation to environmental variations of the Quaternary hydrosphere and kryosphere.

Antarctic Sea Ice Biota [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Zoologist, 1991
The sea ice surrounding Antarctica provides an extensive habitat for organisms ranging in size from bacteria to marine birds and mammals. Historically, most of the ecological work on the ice biota has focused in the nearshore land-fast ice. Only in the last decade have there been comparable studies in the deep-water pack ice regions. These studies have

Explicit representation and parametrised impacts of under ice shelf seas in the z∗ coordinate ocean model NEMO 3.6 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Ice-shelf-ocean interactions are a major source of freshwater on the Antarctic continental shelf and have a strong impact on ocean properties, ocean circulation and sea ice.

Unprecedented springtime retreat of Antarctic sea ice in 2016 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
During austral spring 2016 Antarctic sea ice extent (SIE) decreased at a record rate of 75 x 10(3) km(2) d(-1), which was 46% faster than the mean rate and 18% faster than in any previous spring season during the satellite era.

PLISMIP-ANT, an ice-sheet model intercomparison project [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In the context of future climate change, understanding the nature and behaviour of ice sheets during warm intervals in Earth history is of fundamental importance.

An Unprecedented Sea Ice Retreat in the Weddell Sea Driving an Overall Decrease of the Antarctic Sea‐Ice Extent Over the 20th Century

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
Sea‐ice extent is predicted to decrease in a warming climate. However, despite global warming over the past century, total Antarctic sea ice remained relatively stable from 1979 until 2015, before strongly melting.

Ice core reconstruction of sea ice change in the Amundsen-Ross Seas since 1702 A.D. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Antarctic sea ice has been increasing in recent decades, but with strong regional differences in the expression of sea ice change. Declining sea ice in the Bellingshausen Sea since 1979 (the satellite era) has been linked to the observed warming on the ...

Modelling ice dynamic contributions to sea level rise from the Antarctic Peninsula [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The future ice dynamical contribution to sea-level rise (SLR) from 210 ice shelf nourishing drainage basins of the Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet (APIS) is simulated, using the British Antarctic Survey Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet Model.

Sources of low-frequency variability in observed Antarctic sea ice [PDF]

open access: yesThe Cryosphere
Antarctic sea ice has exhibited significant variability over the satellite record, including a period of prolonged and gradual expansion, as well as a period of sudden decline.
