Expanding the protected area network in Antarctica is urgent and readily achievable
Read more of: Expanding the protected area network in Antarctica is urgent and readily achievableThe terrestrial protected areas of Antarctica are generally small, unrepresentative of the continent’s biodiversity, and at risk from a range of pressures. While some consider the whole Antarctic region as […]

Quantifying the daily economic impact of extreme space weather due to failure in electricity transmission infrastructure
Read more of: Quantifying the daily economic impact of extreme space weather due to failure in electricity transmission infrastructureExtreme space weather due to coronal mass ejections has the potential to cause considerable disruption to the global economy by damaging the transformers required to operate electricity transmission infrastructure. However, […]

Influence of device accuracy and choice of algorithm for species distribution modelling of seabirds: A case study using black-browed albatrosses
Read more of: Influence of device accuracy and choice of algorithm for species distribution modelling of seabirds: A case study using black-browed albatrossesSpecies distribution models (SDM) based on tracking data from different devices are used increasingly to explain and predict seabird distributions. However, different tracking methods provide different data resolutions, ranging from […]

An Intensive Observation of Calving at Helheim Glacier, East Greenland
Read more of: An Intensive Observation of Calving at Helheim Glacier, East GreenlandCalving of glacial ice into the ocean from the Greenland Ice Sheet is an important component of global sea level rise. The calving process itself is relatively poorly observed, understood, […]

Decadal Ocean Forcing and Antarctic Ice Sheet Response: Lessons from the Amundsen Sea
Read more of: Decadal Ocean Forcing and Antarctic Ice Sheet Response: Lessons from the Amundsen SeaMass loss from the Antarctic Ice Sheet is driven by changes at the marine margins. In the Amundsen Sea, thinning of the ice shelves has allowed the outlet glaciers to […]

Modeling Ice Shelf/Ocean Interaction in Antarctica: A Review
Read more of: Modeling Ice Shelf/Ocean Interaction in Antarctica: A ReviewThe most rapid loss of ice from the Antarctic Ice Sheet is observed where ice streams flow into the ocean and begin to float, forming the great Antarctic ice shelves […]

High resolution spatial mapping of human footprint across Antarctica and its implications for the strategic conservation of avifauna
Read more of: High resolution spatial mapping of human footprint across Antarctica and its implications for the strategic conservation of avifaunaHuman footprint models allow visualization of human spatial pressure across the globe. Up until now, Antarctica has been omitted from global footprint models, due possibly to the lack of a […]
