West Antarctica and future sea-level rise: a workshop to identify priorities for research and collaboration in West Antarctica; Royal Society, London 3rd and 4th March 2016 [PDF]
, 2016 Since the 1990s, satellites have shown accelerating ice-loss driven by ocean change in the neighbouring glacier basins that drain more than one-third of West Antarctica into the Amundsen Sea.

Change and variability in East antarctic sea ice seasonality, 1979/80-2009/10. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Recent analyses have shown that significant changes have occurred in patterns of sea ice seasonality in West Antarctica since 1979, with wide-ranging climatic, biological and biogeochemical consequences. Here, we provide the first detailed report on long-

Lead Sources to the Amundsen Sea, West Antarctica
Environmental Science & Technology, 2016 The global prevalence of industrial lead (Pb) contamination was exemplified decades ago by the predominance of anthropogenic Pb in samples of Antarctic surface ice and in Southern Ocean surface waters. Decreases in environmental Pb contamination corresponding with the near-global phase-out of leaded automobile gasoline beginning in the 1970s have since

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.We illustrate how a Bayesian multi‐state mark‐resight (MSMR) modeling approach can be used to estimate survival and cause‐specific mortality probabilities of GPS‐collared European fallow deer in southeastern Australia. Our case study illustrates the flexibility of Bayesian MSMR models for incorporating imperfect detection probability (arising from ...

Past water flow beneath Pine Island and Thwaites glaciers, West Antarctica
The Cryosphere, 2019 . Outburst floods from subglacial lakes beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet modulate ice-flow velocities over periods of months to years. Although subglacial lake drainage events have been observed from satellite-altimetric data, little is known about their ...

Globally widespread weeds show preadaptation to non‐analogue climates: a common garden approach
Oikos, EarlyView.Climatic niche shifts have been documented for plant species introduced into new regions, however the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Niche shifts into novel climates are particularly difficult to predict as previous occurrence data cannot reveal whether these novel climates are within species' fundamental niche limits.

Earth and Space Science, 2019 Recent high‐resolution dropsonde observations from the 2010 Concordiasi field campaign in austral spring season show that surface‐based inversions (SBIs) over Antarctica are frequently eroded, with well‐mixed boundary layers occurring 33% and 18% of the ...

Journal of Maps, 2020 This study presents the first high-resolution orthophoto maps and digital surface models (DSMs) of the largest Argentine Islands, West Antarctica. Aerial surveys with small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) were performed in Austral summer, 2018, taking 10 ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Glaciers are receding at unprecedented rates worldwide, exposing large areas of barren sediment that are quickly colonized by microbes. Nutrient availability is a critical driver of early ecosystem succession, but in the High Arctic its role has remained uncertain.
