He traveled throughout England and told people that the earth was really made up of continents floating on water being supported by a ring of fire. He also thought that the North Pole was the center of the flat planet and that at the end of Antarctica was a massive ice cliff...
The soils of East Antarctica have no rhizosphere with the bulk of organo-mineral interactions confined to the thin microbial and cryptogamic crusts that occur in open or cryptic niches and are collectively known as biological soil crust (BSC). Here we demonstrate that cryptic hypolithic varieties ...
Climate researchers also shared disturbing visuals of two other glaciers, the Thwaites and Pine Island glaciers. The two sit side by side on Antarctica’s western peninsula and house enough ice to account for about 4 feet of rise. Hopefully, we will heed this warning and make some substantial ...
Two high-resolution (~1 km grid spacing) numerical model simulations of the Amundsen Sea, West Antarctica, are used to study the role of the ocean in the mass loss and grounding line retreat of Pine Island Glacier. The first simulation uses BEDMAP bathymetry under the Pine Island ice shelf...
If ice sheets get too large (i.e. similar to glacial maximum conditions) then the region of bistability no longer exists for the observed range of G-IG CO2 variability and the AMOC enters a region of monostability. Likewise, for increasing values of CO2, the window of bistability with ...
Ice sheetsPlanetary shapeSpherical harmonicsComposite modelSince the release of the ETOPO1 global Earth topography model through the US NOAA in 2009, new or significantly improved topographic data sets have become available over Antarctica, Greenland and parts of the oceans. Here, we present a suite...
