Surface elevation changes on Lachman Crags ice caps (north-eastern Antarctic Peninsula) since 1979 indicated by DEMs and ICESat data

Ice shelf changes on the Antarctic Peninsula

Mass loss of Greenland’s glaciers and ice caps 2003–2008 revealed from ICESat laser altimetry data

Community dynamics of nematodes after Larsen ice‐shelf collapse in the eastern Antarctic Peninsula

Free-living marine nematode communities of the Larsen B embayment at the eastern Antarctic Peninsula were investigated to provide insights on their response and colonization rate after large-scale ice-shelf collapse. This study compares published data on the post-collapse situation from 2007 with new material from 2011, focusing on two locations in the embayment that showed highly divergent com...

340 years of atmospheric circulation characteristics reconstructed from an eastern Antarctic Peninsula ice core

[1] Precipitation delivery mechanisms for Dolleman Island (DI), located off the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, are investigated using reanalysis and back trajectory data. The Southern Annular Mode (SAM) and ENSO are both shown to influence precipitation delivery and event size. Precipitation delivery variability is compared against the interannual variation of chemical data from two DI ...

Sea ice trends in the Antarctic and their relationship to surface air temperature during 1979–2009

Surface air temperature (SAT) from four reanalysis/analysis datasets are analyzed and compared with the observed SAT from 11 stations in the Antarctic. It is found that the SAT variation from Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) is the best to represent the observed SAT. Then we use the sea ice concentration (SIC) data from satellite measurements, the SAT data from the GISS dataset and st...
