Changes in sea ice concentration (SIC) and derived sea ice extent have been monitored using microwave radiometers since the late 1970s, providing information about the polar response to climate change, […]
Climate change is driving vegetation expansion in polar regions. Roland et al.1 report a 14-fold greening trend across the Antarctic Peninsula region since the 1980s, based on satellite data. However, […]
Climate‐driven alterations in sea‐ice dynamics and shifting fishing activity are reshaping ecosystems across the Arctic and Antarctic, yet conservation‐relevant information for chondrichthyans (sharks, rays, and chimaeras) remains limited. We present […]
Understanding the demography of animal populations is fundamental to conservation biology. Key parameters such as sex ratio and reproductive success are important contributors for assessing current population health, forecasting population […]
Strongly pagophilic, the Adélie penguin Pygoscelis adeliae has long been designated a sea ice obligate species, which included the requirement to find pack ice on which to molt. However, observations […]
During Pleistocene ice ages, abrupt climate changes co-occurred with switches in Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) strength. The global impact and characteristic north-south temperature pattern of these events is typically […]
The footprint and cumulative impact of national governmental programme and tourist activities is increasing at marine and terrestrial sites across Antarctica. Associated impacts on species and ecosystems include habitat degradation, […]
The AMPLIFY-EDS project, funded under UKRI’s Digital Research Infrastructure (DRI) programme, aimed to advance the Environmental Data Service (EDS) towards a federated, user-centred model by developing standardised, trusted workflows for […]
Wildfires are becoming increasingly frequent and intense under ongoing climate change, with the potential to emit and transport particles, from black carbon to nutrient-bearing aerosols, into remote and fragile ecosystems […]
Snow on Antarctic sea ice modulates albedo, thermodynamic growth, and snow–ice formation, yet remains a leading uncertainty in altimetry-derived sea-ice thickness. Here we use the post-2022 CRYO2ICE configuration to derive […]
Understanding the causal effects of genetic mutations is essential for explaining fitness variation, forecasting evolutionary trajectories and assessing extinction risk, yet remains a fundamental challenge, particularly in natural populations. While […]
Limited surface energy and mass flux data hinder the understanding of glacier retreat mechanisms on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP). Glaciers in the west Nyainqentanglha Range (WNR) supply meltwater to the […]
