Abstract The west Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) is a region of marked climatic variability,
exhibiting strong changes in sea ice extent, retreat of most of its glaciers, and shifts in the …

In this paper, we examine the nature of the Pliocene Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet by
comparing the terrestrial and marine geological records of the Antarctic Peninsula and …

Studies of cryptogam responses to climate change in the polar regions are scarce because
these slow-growing organisms require long-term monitoring studies. Here, we analyse the …

Using the positive degree days approach and ERA-Interim reanalysis downscaled data, the
researchers ran a melt model spatially gridded at 200 m with annual temporal resolution …

The accumulation, isotopic and chemical signals of an ice core from James Ross Island,
Antarctica, are investigated for the interval from 1967 to 2008. Over this interval, comparison …

Ice cores provide a wealth of information about past climate and atmospheric circulation
however a good understanding of the precipitation patterns, potential source regions and …

The remote Antarctic continent, distant from human industrial activity, should be one of the
last places on Earth to capture Anthropogenic change. Hence, stratigraphic evidence of …

Antarctic Peninsula (AP) ice core records indicate significant accumulation increase since
1855, and any resultant ice mass increase has the potential to contribute substantially to …

Seabird life history is typified by low fecundity, high adult survival rates, and relatively long
lives. Such traits act as buffers, enabling persistence of populations under variable …

Understanding the distribution of airborne uranium is important because it can result in both
chemical and radiological toxicity. Ice cores offer the most robust reconstruction of past …
