Chapter One – The Falkland Islands marine ecosystem: A review of the seasonal dynamics and trophic interactions across the food web

25 May, 2023 by Simon Morley

The Falkland Islands marine environment host a mix of temperate and subantarctic species. This review synthesizes baseline information regarding ontogenetic migration patterns and trophic interactions in relation to oceanographic dynamics…

Non-native species in Antarctic terrestrial environments: how climate change and increasing human activity are compounding the threat of invasion

4 January, 2023 by Kevin Hughes, Peter Convey

Antarctic terrestrial biodiversity is simple compared with other regions of the Earth, with many higher taxonomic groups not represented owing to the continent’s isolation, the severe climatic conditions and the…

Ultramafic mantle xenoliths in the Late Cenozoic Volcanic rocks of the Antarctic Peninsula and Jones Mountains, West Antarctica

1 January, 2022 by Philip Leat

Abundant mantle-derived ultramafic xenoliths occur in Cenozoic (7.7-1.5 Ma) mafic alkaline volcanic rocks along the former active margin of West Antarctica, that extends from the northern Antarctic Peninsula to Jones…

Chapter 17: The future? Big questions about feedbacks between Anthropogenic change in the cryosphere and atmospheric chemistry

1 December, 2021 by Markus Frey

Anthropogenically driven changes in the cryosphere (mainly climate warming, but also land-use changes and increasing industrial and transportation activities) are changing how the cryosphere interacts with the atmosphere, which is,…

Past Antarctic ice sheet dynamics (PAIS) and implications for future sea-level change

1 October, 2021 by Dominic Hodgson, Fausto Ferraccioli, Claus-Dieter Hillenbrand, Lara Perez Miguel, Richard Hindmarsh, Robert Larter, Richard Hindmarsh

The legacy of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research’s (SCAR) PAIS strategic research programme includes not only breakthrough scientific discoveries, but it is also the story of a long-standing deep…

Exploring the Recovery Lakes region and interior Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica, with airborne gravity, magnetic and radar measurements

1 January, 2018 by Fausto Ferraccioli, Tom Jordan

Long-range airborne geophysical measurements were carried out in the ICEGRAV campaigns, covering hitherto unexplored parts of interior East Antarctica and part of the Antarctic Peninsula. The airborne surveys provided a…
