Identification of Circovirus Genome in a Chinstrap Penguin (<i>Pygoscelis antarcticus</i>) and Adélie Penguin (<i>Pygoscelis adeliae</i>) on the Antarctic Peninsula by Hila Levy, Steven R. Fiddaman, Anni Djurhuus, Caitlin E. Black, Simona Kraberger, Adrian L. Smith, Tom Hart, Arvind Varsani

“…These two PenCV genomes (length of 1986 nucleotides) share > 99% genome-wide nucleotide identity with each other and share ~87% genome-wide nucleotide identity with the PenCV sequences described from Adélie Penguins at Cape Crozier ~4400 km away in East Antarctica. We did not find any evidence of recombination among PenCV sequences. …”

Spatial and temporal patterns of Southern Ocean ventilation by Styles, AF, MacGilchrist, GA, Bell, MJ, Marshall, DP

“…The densest waters ventilate on the Antarctic shelf, primarily near the Antarctic Peninsula (40%) and the west Ross sea (20%); the remaining 40% is distributed across East Antarctica. Shelf-ventilated waters experience significant densification outside of the mixed layer.…”

Long-Term Variability of Surface Albedo and Its Correlation with Climatic Variables over Antarctica by Minji Seo, Hyun-Cheol Kim, Morang Huh, Jong-Min Yeom, Chang Suk Lee, Kyeong-Sang Lee, Sungwon Choi, Kyung-Soo Han

“…In addition, albedo and surface temperature had a negative correlation, but this relationship was weaker in west Antarctica than in east Antarctica. The correlation between albedo and AAO revealed different relationships in the two regions; west Antarctica had a negative correlation and east Antarctica showed a positive correlation. …”

Stable water isotopes and the physical environment by Roland Souchez, Réginald Lorrain, Jean-Louis Tison

“…On the other hand, the paper explains how the water isotopes are used in the study of the Antarctic Ice Sheet as climatic archives as well as how they allow to understand the formation of more than 200 m of lake ice present above the liquid water of subglacial Lake Vostok in East Antarctica. This case study approach demonstrates that stable water isotopes can be an ideal tool to account for many processes active in the physical environment.…”
