An acclaimed photographic guide to these marvelous and enigmatic birds--now in a new, updated editionPenguins are perhaps the most beloved birds. On land, their behavior appears so humorous and expressive that we can be excused for attributing to them moods and foibles similar t…

The ongoing decline in Arctic sea ice extent has prompted concerns about the fate of sea ice in the future, and the stability of sea ice-dependent ecosystems. By studying the natural variability of sea ice cover during past warm intervals, we can better understand how sea ice mi…

The book on sea ice ecology is the ecology of sea ice algae and other microorganism as bacteria, meiofauna, and viruses residing inside or at the bottom of the sea ice, called the sympagic biota. Organisms as seals, fish, birds, and Polar bears relies on sea ice but are not part…

Application of the sympagic diatom-produced, C25 highly branched isoprenoid (HBI) termed IP25 to paleo-sea ice reconstruction has confirmed its utility as a qualitative seasonal sea ice proxy. Combination of IP25 and a pelagic biomarker into the Phytoplankton-IP25 index (PIP25) …

0 Type: Book

The Arctic is ruled by ice. For Inuit, it is a highway, a hunting ground, and the platform on which life is lived. While the international community argues about sovereignty, security, and resource development at the top of the world, the Inuit remind us that they are the origin…

Uncertainty in climate predictions arises from three distinct sources: the internal variability of the climate system, which refers to natural fluctuations in climate that occur even in the absence of external forcing, model or structural uncertainty, as different models make di…

Early autumn visual surveys carried out in the Ross Sea in February-March 2013 reveal Emperor penguins congregate and feed in migratory "hubs" located in stable pack ice of the eastern Ross Sea, close to the Antarctic Slope Front. From there, based on their annual cycle, they tr…
