This paper reviews the composition, biogeography and zonation of benthic algae in Arctic
and Antarctic polar regions. There is a marked contrast in the literature between the amount …

Precise relative sea level (RSL) data are important for inferring regional ice sheet histories,
as well as helping to validate numerical models of ice sheet evolution and glacial isostatic …

The presence of a di-unsaturated highly branched isoprenoid (HBI) lipid biomarker (diene II)
in Southern Ocean sediments has previously been proposed as a proxy measure of palaeo …

Fragilariopsis species composition and abundance from the Argentine Sea and Antarctic
waters were analyzed using light and electron microscopy. Twelve species (F. curta, F …

Abstract The West Antarctic Peninsula is one of the fastest warming regions on Earth. Faster
glacier retreat and related calving events lead to more frequent iceberg scouring, fresh water …

The recent collapse of several Antarctic Peninsula ice shelves has been linked to rapid
regional atmospheric warming during the twentieth century. New high-resolution lake …

Marine epiphytic diatoms in the Antarctic Peninsula have not been studied in detail
previously, and information on their distribution and occurrence is scarce. We studied the …

Glacier retreat is a major long-standing global issue; however, the ecological impacts of
such retreats on marine organisms remain unanswered. Here, we examined changes to the …

The Antarctic Peninsula is one of the most rapidly warming regions on Earth, as evidenced
by a recent increase in the intensity and duration of summer melting, the recession of …

Abstract The Late Quaternary climate history of the Larsemann Hills has been reconstructed
using siliceous microfossils (diatoms, chrysophytes and silicoflagellates) in sediment cores …
