A Novel Adenovirus in Chinstrap Penguins (Pygoscelis antarctica) in Antarctica [PDF]
Adenoviruses (family Adenoviridae) infect various organ systems and cause diseases in a wide range of host species. In this study, we examined multiple tissues from Chinstrap penguins (Pygoscelis antarctica), collected in Antarctica during 2009 and 2010, for the presence of novel adenoviruses by PCR.

Satellite altimetry detection of ice-shelf-influenced fast ice [PDF]
The outflow of supercooled Ice Shelf Water from the conjoined Ross and McMurdo ice shelf cavity augments fast ice thickness and forms a thick sub-ice platelet layer in McMurdo Sound.

FROM SPACE TO EARTH: PHYSICAL AND BIOLOGICAL IMPACTS OF GLACIER DYNAMICS IN THE MARINE SYSTEM BY MEANS OF REMOTE SENSING AT ALMIRANTAZGO BAY, ANTARCTICA [PDF]
To determine the biological and physical mechanisms between Lange glacier and its pro-glacier marine system located in Almirantazgo bay, King George Island, Antarctica, specific variables were determined through remote sensing approaches shown in this ...

RECENT DYNAMICAL FEATURES OF TYNDALL AND GREY GLACIERS, FROM SOUTHERN PATAGONIAN ICEFIELD, BY USING SATELLITE REMOTE SENSING TECHNIQUES [PDF]
Most glaciers in Patagonia have been rapidly shrinking during the past decades in response to ongoing global warming. To extend techniques to monitor their dynamics is crucial to understand individual glacier response to climate change and its ...

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.

ASSESSMENT OF SEA ICE FREEBOARD AND THICKNESS IN MCMURDO SOUND, ANTARCTICA, DERIVED BY GROUND VALIDATED SATELLITE ALTIMETER DATA [PDF]
This investigation employs the use of ICESat to derive freeboard measurements in McMurdo Sound in the western Ross Sea, Antarctica, for the time period 2003-2009. Methods closely follow those previously presented in the literature but are complemented by

Differential interferometric synthetic aperture radar for tide modelling in Antarctic ice-shelf grounding zones [PDF]
Differential interferometric synthetic aperture radar (DInSAR) is an essential tool for detecting ice-sheet motion near Antarctica's oceanic margin. These space-borne measurements have been used extensively in the past to map the location and retreat of ...
