DOI: 10.1016/j.quascirev.2016.12.007
Abstract: Abstract Retreat of the Antarctic ice sheets since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) contributed to sea-level rise, but the location, amount, and timing of ice mass loss has been controversial. This paper presents new 10… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.191228
Abstract: Killer whales (Orcinus orca) are top marine predators occurring globally. In Antarctic waters, five ecotypes have been described, with Type C being the smallest form of killer whale known. Acoustic recordings of nine encounters of… read more here.
