Cryoconite: the dark biological secret of the cryosphere
Cryoconite is granular sediment found on glacier surfaces comprising both mineral and
biological material. Despite long having been recognised as an important glaciological and …

Polar lake microbiomes have distinct evolutionary histories
Toward the poles, life on land is increasingly dominated by microorganisms, yet the
evolutionary origin of polar microbiomes remains poorly understood. Here, we use …

Interglacial environments of coastal east Antarctica: comparison of MIS 1 (Holocene) and MIS 5e (Last Interglacial) lake-sediment records
We reconstruct terrestrial and freshwater environments of the last two Quaternary
interglacials in coastal east Antarctica by examining multi-proxy evidence in a lake sediment …

Late Quaternary climate-driven environmental change in the Larsemann Hills, East Antarctica, multi-proxy evidence from a lake sediment core
Little is known about the response of terrestrial East Antarctica to climate changes during the
last glacial–interglacial cycle. Here we present a continuous sediment record from a lake …
