Disturbances of Earth’s magnetic field lead to the generation of geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) in infrastructure like power grids, which can cause damage and even power grid blackouts in some […]
The increasing release of Antarctic meltwater represents one of the most profound, yet uncertain, consequences of global climate change. The absence of interactive ice sheets in state-of-the-art climate models prevents […]
Primary aerosols play a critical role in polar climate systems, influencing cloud formation, precipitation, radiative balance, and surface energy budgets. This paper provides a comprehensive synthesis of primary aerosol sources, […]
The Southern Ocean has long been considered a pristine marine environment, protected from pollutants such as microplastics by its remote location and limited human presence (Waller et al., 2017). However, […]
Ecological feedbacks are fundamental features of the Earth system, affecting physical processes and chemical cycles. Our understanding of the interactions underlying these feedbacks at different spatial and temporal scales and […]
An ecosystem-based approach to fishery management requires, inter alia, knowledge of fishery impacts on both target and non-target species, as well as the wider ecosystem. To support management of the […]
The increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere causes net heating in the troposphere and net cooling at higher atmospheric levels, which results in long-term changes of many other […]
The Arctic around Svalbard has experienced among the most intense, sustained warming anywhere on Earth for multiple decades, which is projected to continue. Increasing air and sea temperatures are not […]
Highlights • The Antarctic Peninsula, part of British Antarctic Territory, is warming rapidly, up to two times the global mean rate of0.27°C per decade. • Substantial and irreparable environmental damage […]
Breeding in sympatry may increase competition among closely related species, especially when these species are colonial central-place foragers. Niche partitioning, for example through segregation in space, time, habitat or diet, […]
Understanding the connectivity between spawning and nursery grounds of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba is essential for elucidating population dynamics and informing ecosystem-based management of krill. This study employed a regional […]
The Antarctic Peninsula is warming rapidly, with more frequent extreme temperature and precipitation events, reduced sea ice, glacier retreat, ice shelf collapse, and ecological shifts. Here, we review its behaviour […]
