1. Drivers of Antarctic sea ice advance

   Antarctic sea ice is mostly seasonal. While changes in sea ice seasonality have been observed in recent decades, the lack of process understanding remains a key challenge to interpret these […]

2. Marine Ecosystem Assessment for the Southern Ocean: Summary for Policymakers

   i. The Antarctic Treaty System (beginning in 1959 with the Antarctic Treaty) and its emphasis on conservation and protection, exemplified in the Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living […]

3. Communicating the best available science to inform Antarctic policy and management: a practical introduction for researchers

   Communication at the science-policy interface can be bewildering not only for early-career researchers, but also for many within the research community. In the context of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, […]

4. Ninety years of change, from commercial extinction to recovery, range expansion and decline for Antarctic fur seals at South Georgia

   With environmental change, understanding how species recover from overharvesting and maintain viable populations is central to ecosystem restoration. Here, we reconstruct 90 years of recovery trajectory of the Antarctic fur seal […]

5. Loss of research and operational equipment in Antarctica: Balancing scientific advances with environmental impact

   Antarctica has been subject to widespread, long-term and on-going human activity since the establishment of permanent research stations became common in the 1950s. Equipment may become intentionally or inadvertently lost […]

6. Deepening of Southern Ocean gateway leads to abrupt onset of a deep-reaching meridional overturning circulation

   During the Eocene and the Eocene-Oligocene transition, the lower cell of the meridional overturning circulation (MOC), associated with bottom water formation, underwent changes associated with the geological evolution of Southern […]

7. Interpopulation differences and temporal synchrony in rates of adult survival between two seabird colonies that differ in population size and distance to foraging grounds

   Understanding the processes that drive interpopulation differences in demography and population dynamics is central to metapopulation ecology. In colonial species, populations are limited by local resource availability. However, individuals from […]

8. Ice Shelf Water Structure Beneath the Larsen C Ice Shelf in Antarctica

   Understanding ice shelf water (ISW) structure is crucial for studying the basal melting of ice shelves. In this study, we performed large-eddy simulation experiments to assess ISW structure and basal […]

9. A chromosome map of Belgica antarctica Jacobs (Diptera: Chironomidae) from Antarctica, including chromosome variability

   Belgica antarctica Jacobs (Diptera: Chironomidae) is the only endemic insect found in the Antarctic Peninsula region and has stimulated considerable research interest. Due to recent rapid changes in regional climate […]

10. Late Quaternary climatic inferences from southern Patagonia (~53°S): A holistic palaeoecological approach to tracking the behaviour of the southern westerly winds

    The glacial and vegetation patterns of Patagonia are strongly correlated to the behaviour of the Southern westerly winds (SWWs) with palaeoenvironmental evidence for the behaviour of the SWWs interpreted as […]

11. Melt-Affected Ice Cores for Polar Research in a Warming World

    Melting polar and alpine ice sheets in response to global warming pose ecological and societal risks but will also hamper our ability to reconstruct past climate and atmospheric composition across […]

12. Plasticity and seasonality of the vertical migratory behaviour of Antarctic krill using acoustic data from fishing vessels

    Understanding the vertical migration behaviour of Antarctic krill is important for understanding spatial distribution, ecophysiology, trophic interactions and carbon fluxes of this Southern Ocean key species. In this study, we […]
