Hydrodynamic response of an Antarctic glacial bay to cross-bay winds and its potential impact on primary production [PDF]
Scientific ReportsAntarctic glacial bays are important, productive regions of the Southern Ocean. Certain glacial bays, including our research area, Admiralty Bay, are less favorable for phytoplankton growth due to wind-enhanced high energy levels, but they still host ...

The influence of penguin activity on soil diatom assemblages on King George Island, Antarctica with the description of a new Luticola species [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Background Ice-free areas in the Antarctic region are strongly limited. The presence of marine mammals and birds in those areas influence soil properties and vegetation composition. Studies on the terrestrial diatom flora in soils influenced by sea birds
