Understanding how low energy electrons control the variability of the Earth's electron radiation belts
(2019-07-20)The electron radiation belts are regions of geomagnetically trapped electrons, surrounding the Earth, presenting hazards to operational satellites. On the timeframe of hours, both the energy and particle flux of the radiation ... -
Remote sensing of penguin populations: Development and application of a satellite-based method
(2018-07-21)Five penguin species breed in Antarctica: emperors, Adélies, chinstraps, gentoos and macaronis. These are important Antarctic mid-trophic level predators and under predicted climate change are believed threatened. Accurate ... -
The impact of tropical sea surface temperature perturbations on atmospheric circulation over north Canada and Greenland
(2018-07-21)Identifying the drivers of Arctic climate variability is essential for understanding the recent rapid changes in local climate and determining the mechanisms that cause them. Remote tropical sea surface temperatures (SST) ... -
The Evolutionary History of the Antarctic Flora
(2017-06-21)How long has the extant flora been present in the Antarctic? Glaciological reconstructions propose that most areas in Antarctica were covered by thick ice sheets throughout the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM; ~22-18 kya) as ...
