Decadal wind-driven east–west asymmetry of chlorophyll-a in the Ross Sea region
Environmental Research LettersThe Ross Sea, the most productive region of phytoplankton around the Antarctic margin, supports the marine food web in the Southern Ocean. However, the long-term variability of chlorophyll-a production is not fully understood.

Marine record of late quaternary glacial-interglacial fluctuations in the Ross Sea and evidence for rapid, episodic sea level change due to marine ice sheet collapse [PDF]
Some of the questions to be addressed by SeaRISE include: (1) what was the configuration of the West Antarctic ice sheet during the last glacial maximum; (2) What is its configuration during a glacial minimum; and (3) has it, or any marine ice sheet ...

Spatial patterns in the evolution of Cenozoic dynamic topography and its influence on the Antarctic continent [PDF]
, 2013 Our knowledge of dynamic topography in Antarctica remains in an infancy stage compared to other continents. We assess the space-time variability in dynamic topography in Antarctica by analysing grids of global dynamic topography in the Cenozoic (and late
