Twenty-four buried ice masses remotely mapped in Transantarctic Mountains, Antarctica
Glacial ice contains information on paleoclimate, but typically is less than 1 Myrs old because glaciers continuously flow and melt. A recently discovered buried ice mass in Antarctica is dated to 3-5 Myrs and highlights the potential for long ...

Population features of Boeckella poppei in Lake Wujka, King George Island
The maritime Antarctic is one of the most interesting regions on planet where climate change can be observed to impact all components of its poor flora. Boeckella poppei is common in the maritime and continental Antarctic species of the copepod.

Airborne bacterial populations above desert soils of the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica [PDF]
Bacteria are assumed to disperse widely via aerosolized transport due to their small size and resilience. The question of microbial endemicity in isolated populations is directly related to the level of airborne exogenous inputs, yet this has proven hard

Drivers of late Holocene ice core chemistry in Dronning Maud Land: the context for the ISOL-ICE project [PDF]
Within the framework of the Isotopic Constraints on Past Ozone Layer in Polar Ice (ISOL-ICE) project, we present initial ice core results from the new ISOL-ICE ice core covering the last millennium from high-elevation Dronning Maud Land (DML) and discuss

Crustal structure and rift flank uplift of the Adare Trough, Antarctica [PDF]
The Adare Trough, located 100 km northeast of Cape Adare, Antarctica, represents the extinct third arm of a Tertiary spreading ridge between East and West Antarctica. It is characterized by pronounced asymmetric rift flanks elevated up to over 2 km above

Photosynthetic performance of Xanthoria mawsonii C. W. Dodge in coastal habitats, Ross Sea region, continental Antarctica [PDF]
Xanthoria mawsonii C. W. Dodge was found to perform well physiologically in a variety of habitats at high latitudes in continental Antarctica. The net photosynthetic rate of 7•5 μ mol CO2 kg−1 s−1 is exceptionally high for Antarctic lichens.

The gyrB gene is a useful phylogenetic marker for exploring the diversity of flavobacterium strains isolated from terrestrial and aquatic habitats in Antarctica [PDF]
Within the phylum Bacteroidetes, the gyrB gene, encoding for the B subunit of the DNA gyrase, has been used as phylogenetic marker for several genera closely related to Flavobacterium.
