Antarctic Ocean Legacy: Towards Protection of the Weddell Sea Region [PDF]
Ice-bound, wild and remote, the Weddell Sea is a large, deep embayment nestled between the Antarctic Peninsula and Cape Norvegia. Lying south of the Atlantic Ocean, it is one of the most intact ecosystems in the world.At its widest, it is 2,000 km across,

The association of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba with the under-ice habitat.
The association of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba with the under-ice habitat was investigated in the Lazarev Sea (Southern Ocean) during austral summer, autumn and winter.

Abstract Sea Ice Concentration (SIC) plays an important role in the Antarctic polynyas, especially where biological interactions through changes in chlorophyll‐a concentration (CHL) phenology are concerned. To specifically understand how much SIC change affects CHL in the Ross Sea polynya (RSP), the regime shift index (RSI) was applied to the SIC ...

Distribution of the Antarctic Sea-birds in the Outer Margin of the Summer Pack Ice Area
The distribution of the Antarctic sea-birds was investigated in 1976-1977 and 1977-1978 summer seasons. The observations were performed along the outer margin of the pack ice area between longitude 50° E and 165° E.

Record phenological responses to climate change in three sympatric penguin species
This paper is impressive because we managed to monitor extensively a really difficult place to reach and operate in. We deployed 77 cameras across Antarctica and the Sub Antarctic islands to monitor three different species of penguins. We found that they are the fastest advancing vertebrates with respect to their timing of breeding.

Mitigating direct and indirect interactions between marine predators and fisheries is a motivating factor for ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM), especially where predators and fisheries compete for a shared resource. One difficulty in advancing

Ecological Feedbacks in the Earth System
Abstract 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 the extent to which feedbacks affect Earth system functioning remains limited.
