Flowing ice can create some interesting features in Antarctica - features like ice rises. As Reinhard Drews from the Université Libre de Bruxelles explains, you can learn a lot from these features by studying them.
Glaciologist Jan Lenaerts talks about the mysterious 2 km-wide scar on the King Baudouin Ice Shelf. He and other glaciologists believe it is likely an ice doline.
Graeme Eagles from AWI talks about media coverage of the circular feature on the King Baudouin Ice Shelf his colleagues discovered and an alternate hypothesis for its origin.
While researchers from Germany’s Alfred Wegener Institute were conducting an aerial survey to learn more about the geological history of Antarctica, they discovered an interesting feature in the King Baudouin Ice Shelf in East Antarctica
Dr Heiko Goelzer, an ice sheet modeller from the Geography Department at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) in Brussels, Belgium, explains efforts he is involved in to improve projections of ice loss from the planet’s ice sheets
Taking a constructivist approach to discourse analysis, Professor Carina Keskitalo from Umeå University argues that the concept of "the Arctic” is primarily a Canadian invention.
Professor Andrew Shepherd from the University of Leeds explains how advances in Earth observation have led to an ever-improving understanding of ice loss from Antarctica.
As part of the ArcRisk project, Professor Arja Rautio from the University of Oulu in Finland has studied links between climate change and exposure to toxic contaminants in the food Arctic residents consume.
Why is ocean acidification more of a problem in the Arctic than elsewhere? How will the changing chemistry of the Arctic Ocean affect the organisms living there and the ecosystems they live in? Agneta Fransson from the Norwegian Polar Institute explains.
Professor Michael Tipton from the University of Portsmouth, UK, examines the impact of extreme cold environments on humans.
The call for research proposals is now open for the 2014 InBev-Baillet Latour Antarctic Fellowship, a €150,000 grant for early career polar scientists interested in doing research at or near the Princess Elisabeth Antarctica research station.
Professor Martin Siegert from the University of Bristol discusses research to better understand how sensitive the East Antarctic Ice Sheet is to change.
