Reflections On the Anomalous ANITA Events: The Antarctic Subsurface as a Possible Explanation

open access: yes, 2019
The ANITA balloon experiment was designed to detect radio signals initiated by neutrinos and cosmic ray air showers. These signals are typically discriminated by the polarization and phase inversions of the radio signal.

Performance Implications of Divergent Shell Size Preferences and Exoskeleton Mass of Two Closely Related Hermit Crabs

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Two co‐occurring species of hermit crabs use very different shell sizes, one species using shells that are too small to accommodate all the carapace or claws. The two crab species were found to have diverged in their adaptations to their environment: one species adopting a suite of traits, including the use of large shells, that enhance protection from

Observed meltwater-induced flexure and fracture at a doline on George VI Ice Shelf, Antarctica

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) observations and ground-based timelapse photography obtained over the record-high 2019/2020 melt season are combined to characterise the flexure and fracture behaviour of a previously formed doline on George VI ...

Seabed corrugations beneath an Antarctic ice shelf revealed by autonomous underwater vehicle survey: Origin and implications for the history of Pine Island Glacier [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Ice shelves are critical features in the debate about West Antarctic ice sheet change and sea level rise, both because they limit ice discharge and because they are sensitive to change in the surrounding ocean.

Palaeoglacier reconstruction and dynamics of Cordillera Vilcanota in the tropical high Peruvian Andes

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 2, February 2026.
We provide a geomorphological analysis of Cordillera Vilcanota and use morphostratigraphic principles to reconstruct palaeo icefield extent and palaeoglacier readvances, likely during the Antarctic Cold Reversal and Younger Dryas. We find evidence of temperate and polythermal ice margins, with limited glaciofluvial landform generation.

Flow History Effects on River Bifurcation Dynamics in a Himalayan River

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Dynamic gravel bed rivers experience frequent changes in channel position and flow distribution between branches, which can alter the location and extent of flooding. Changes in flow routing can significantly impact livelihoods, habitats and infrastructure in adjacent floodplains. Here, we test whether variations in seasonal discharge patterns

Radar-Coding and Geocoding Lookup Tables for the Fusion of GIS Data and SAR images in Mountain Areas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
International audienceSynthetic aperture radar (SAR) image orthorectification induces an important alteration of information due to the side-looking geometry of SAR acquisition.

Basal Melting Variability of the Ross Ice Shelf From Mixing Ratios of Simulated Water Masses (1993–2018) and Potential Climatic Drivers

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Several water masses circulate under the Ross Ice Shelf (RIS), the largest ice shelf in Antarctica, each causing basal melting with a specific spatio‐temporal pattern. To investigate these patterns and their variability, we applied a mixing ratio analysis to simulated water masses from a new numerical ocean model of the Ross Sea.

Surge dynamics in the Nathorstbreen glacier system, Svalbard [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Nathorstbreen glacier system (NGS) recently experienced the largest surge in Svalbard since 1936, and this was examined using spatial and temporal observations from DEM differencing, time series of surface velocities from satellite synthetic aperture ...
