The Arctic region of Svalbard hosts a distinct vascular plant flora adapted to harsh climatic conditions, but comprehensive cytogenetic data remain scarce. This study compiles and analyzes chromosome numbers, ploidy levels, and genome sizes (C-values) for 188 plant taxa of Svalbard, providing essential baseline data for evolutionary and ecological research. Results: Chromosome counts in Svalbard flora range from 2n = 10 to 270, with modal base numbers of x = 7 and x = 8. Polyploidy is widespread, with diploids representing 94 taxa followed by tetraploids, hexaploids, and higher even ploids. Genome sizes (1C-values) exhibit considerable variation both within and between families. Notably, chromosome number and genome size are decoupled in Cyperaceae and Poaceae, attributed to the difference of chromosome size. The prevalence of polyploid taxa is linked to increased genetic diversity and potential epigenetic mechanisms promoting survival in the Arctic’s cold, nutrient-poor, and short growing season environments. Conclusions: This comprehensive cytogenetic dataset provides a critical foundation for ongoing and future studies on plant adaptation, evolution, and genome dynamics in Arctic ecosystems. The findings underscore the ecological importance of polyploidy and genome structural variation in shaping the resilience of polar flora under climatic stress and global change. These data will enhance molecular, ecological, and conservation research efforts in Svalbard and other high-latitude regions.

We investigate the internal structure and physical properties of Subglacial Lake D2 (SLD2), which is located beneath David Glacier in East Antarctica, using seismic data acquired during the 2021/22 austral summer. The dataset underwent a comprehensive processing workflow, including noise attenuation, velocity analysis, and prestack time migration. The migrated seismic sections revealed distinct reverse-polarity reflections at the glacier-lake interface; however, reflections from the lake-bed sediment interface were ambiguous, leading to interpretational uncertainty about the presence of a sediment layer. To resolve this interpretational uncertainty, two alternative structural models were established: Model 1 (no sediment) and Model 2 (with a sediment layer). Synthetic seismograms generated by wave-propagation modeling were compared with field data to validate the subglacial lake structure. The results confirmed the water column thickness to be approximately 82 m (Model 1) or approximately 10 m (Model 2), and possible structural scenarios for the subglacial lake were presented. Additionally, discontinuous reflections detected in seismic sections transverse to the ice flow were interpreted as scour-like feature surfaces formed by ice movement. This study identified the basal structure beneath the subglacial lake, which had been challenging to identify with conventional radar surveys, through seismic surveying. In addition, ambiguous signals in the field seismic data were mitigated via quantitative comparison with synthetic data, thereby facilitating interpretation of the underlying structure. Collectively, these findings enhance our understanding of subglacial lake environments and inform the selection of future drilling sites for in situ sampling.

Documenting the location, timing and rate of past glacial retreat can help reveal processes driving rapid mass loss, informing projections of ice sheet responses to a warming climate. Here, we present a record of mid-Holocene ice retreat from the southwestern Ross Sea using facies succession and paired ramped pyrolysis oxidation C-14/Pb-210 chronology. This record shows rapid ice shelf retreat from 6.9-5.4 cal kyr BP, coeval with thinning of adjacent outlet glaciers. Our findings reconcile earlier discrepancies in terrestrial and marine reconstructions, and indicate that synchronous grounding line retreat from west of Ross Island to the Siple Coast at similar to 7-6.2 cal kyr BP was likely driven by warm-water incursions, a process active in parts of Antarctica today.
