Mechanisms for Meridional Propagation of Global Mesoscale Ocean Eddies Within a PV‐Based Dynamic Framework

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Mesoscale eddies are crucial for global heat and tracer transport, yet the mechanisms underlying their meridional movement remain unclear. Here, we combine satellite observations, idealized numerical experiments, and theoretical modeling to investigate these mechanisms. We demonstrate that the meridional eddy movement is strongly linked to the

Global Glacial Rock Weathering Signature Depends on Competing Contributions From Ice Sheets and Alpine Glaciers

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Rock weathering influences Earth's atmosphere and climate. The dissolution of silicate minerals draws down atmospheric CO2 while sulfide oxidation coupled with carbonate dissolution releases CO2. Alpine glacier rock weathering causes high sulfide oxidation and carbonate dissolution.

Global Hotspots of Stalling Extratropical Cyclones

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Extratropical cyclones (ETCs) are primary drivers of extreme weather in the mid‐to‐high latitudes. We introduce a new classification of particularly impactful events—“stalling” ETCs—defined by slow movement combined with intense precipitation. Using cyclone tracking data, we find that stalling ETCs cluster systematically along the east coasts ...

Lithosphere‐Asthenosphere Interactions Across the Indo‐Burma Subduction Zone From Sp Receiver Functions

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The Cenozoic convergence between the Indian and Asian plates has driven large‐scale mantle convection that interacts with both plates. Understanding this convergence benefits from clear imaging of the lithosphere‐asthenosphere boundary (LAB).

Death in Antarctica

Medical Journal of Australia, 2001
Antarctic tourism is flourishing, but Antarctic cruises are often more physically demanding than typical "tropical" cruises. An 82-year-old Antarctic tourist died of probable septic shock secondary to lower respiratory tract infection six days after sustaining a suspected vertebral fracture in a minor fall from an inflatable boat.

`No Exit' in Antarctica

Group Analysis, 1999
This article recounts the experiences of an all-male group of 59 winterers (explorers) who spent almost a year in Antarctica. As well as a group experience, it was also a deep personal experience. For the author; this stay in another world seeming far beyond that of humans was and remains a quasi-spiritual experience, of immersing oneself in the ...

Australites and Antarctica

Science, 1962
A meteorite crater in the Wilkes Land region of Antarctica has been postulated as an explanation of the origin of australites. Geophysical data suggest that such a feature may have been located.

THE EXPLORATION OF ANTARCTICA*

Nature, 1947
THE sudden widespread interest in the Antarctic, aroused by the announcement that no less than twelve nations are organising expeditions to that region, has resulted in a spate of articles which has been chiefly remarkable for inaccurate rumours and speculations.

Antarctica

2019
Part of the What Everyone Needs to Know® series, David Day's book on Antarctica examines the most forbidding and formidably inaccessible continent on Earth. Antarctica was first discovered by European explorers in 1820, and for over a century following this, countries competed for the frozen land's vast marine resources--namely, the skins and oil of ...
