Conservation features of the terrestrial Antarctic Peninsula [PDF]
AmbioAbstractConserving landscapes used by multiple stakeholder groups requires understanding of what each stakeholder values. Here we employed a semi-structured, participatory approach to identify features of value in the terrestrial Antarctic Peninsula related to biodiversity, science and tourism.

Antarctic Peninsula warm winters influenced by Tasman Sea temperatures [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 The Antarctic Peninsula sees some of the strongest warming of the whole continent over the last decades, the drivers of which are not well known. Here, the authors show that winter sea surface temperature increases in the Tasman sea lead to changes in ...

Adélie penguins north and east of the ‘Adélie gap’ continue to thrive in the face of dramatic declines elsewhere in the Antarctic Peninsula region [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 While population declines among Adélie penguins and population increases among gentoo penguins on the Western Antarctic Peninsula are well established, the logistical challenges of operating in the sea ice-heavy northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula ...

Climate change is associated with higher phytoplankton biomass and longer blooms in the West Antarctic Peninsula [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe Antarctic Peninsula (West Antarctica) marine ecosystem has undergone substantial changes due to climate-induced shifts in atmospheric and oceanic temperatures since the 1950s. Using 25 years of satellite data (1998-2022), this study presents evidence

Mercury biomagnification in an Antarctic food web of the Antarctic Peninsula
Environmental Pollution, 2022 Under the climate change context, warming Southern Ocean waters may allow mercury (Hg) to become more bioavailable to the Antarctic marine food web (i.e., ice-stored Hg release and higher methylation rates by microorganisms), whose biomagnification processes are poorly documented.

West Antarctic Rift System in the Antarctic Peninsula [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2009 Decades after the recognition of the West Antarctic Rift System, and in spite of its global importance, the location and nature of the plate boundary it formed at are unknown east of the Byrd Subglacial Basin. Alternative constructions of the circuit of South Pacific plate boundaries suggest the presence of either a transcurrent plate boundary or a ...

Weddell Sea Control of Ocean Temperature Variability on the Western Antarctic Peninsula
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Recent ice loss on the western Antarctic Peninsula has been driven by warming ocean waters on the continental shelf. However, due to the short observational record, our understanding of the dynamics and variability in this region remains poor.

First observations of emperor penguins on Horseshoe Island, Antarctica
Polar Research, 2023 This note reports observations of two moulting emperor penguins (Aptenodytes forsteri) on Horseshoe Island, West Antarctica, during the Seventh Turkish Antarctic Expedition in February 2023. This is the first time this species has been documented on this
