Deep multi-scale learning for automatic tracking of internal layers of ice in radar data
In this study, our goal is to track internal ice layers on the Snow Radar data collected by NASA Operation IceBridge. We examine the application of deep learning methods on radar data gathered from polar regions.

Airborne radio echo sounding on the Shirase Glacier and its drainage basin, East Antarctica
Airborne radio echo sounding carried out on the Shirase Glacier and its drainage basin in January 1980 is described. The new sounder (NIPR-A) was operated at 179 MHz on board a Pilatus Porter PC-6.

A compact lightweight multipurpose ground-penetrating radar for glaciological applications
We describe a compact lightweight impulse radar for radio-echo sounding of subsurface structures designed specifically for glaciological applications. The radar operates at frequencies between 10 and 75 MHz.

A revised inventory of Antarctic subglacial lakes [PDF]
The locations and details of 145 Antarctic subglacial lakes are presented. The inventory is based on a former catalogue of lake-type features, which has been subsequently reanalysed, and on the results from three additional datasets.

Revealing the structure of land plant photosystem II: the journey from negative‐stain EM to cryo‐EM
Advances in cryo‐EM have revealed the detailed structure of Photosystem II, a key protein complex driving photosynthesis. This review traces the journey from early low‐resolution images to high‐resolution models, highlighting how these discoveries deepen our understanding of light harvesting and energy conversion in plants.

Radio Echo-Sounding of Riiser-Larsenisen (Abstract only) [PDF]
The Norwegian Antarctic Research Expedition 1978–79 used the Scott Polar Research Institute Mk IV radio echo-sounding system fitted in a Bell 206B helicopter to survey 620 km of Riiser-Larsenisen and 100 km across the outer part of Stancomb-Wills Ice Stream.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.
