Blue whales Balaenoptera musculus at South Georgia were heavily exploited during 20th century industrial whaling, to the point of local near-extirpation. Although legal whaling for blue whales ceased in the 1960s…
Plastic pollution is distributed patchily around the world’s oceans. Likewise, marine organisms that are vulnerable to plastic ingestion or entanglement have uneven distributions. Understanding where wildlife encounters plastic is crucial for targeting research and mitigation. Oceanic seabirds…
Australia’s record-breaking 2019/20 Black Summer fire weather resulted from a combination of natural and anthropogenic climate factors, but the full range of natural variability in fire weather is unknown.
Background: Free ocean CO2 enrichment experiments (FOCE) were developed to address the need for information on community level response to ocean acidification in natural habitats. The antFOCE project was the first polar FOCE system and was run at Casey Station, East Antarctica…
Avian and mammalian predators play a key role in the Kerguelen Plateau ecosystem, both with respect to structuring the marine community and its response to anthropogenic influences, such as climate change and commercial fisheries.
The Diego Ramírez Archipelago, Chile, is the southernmost albatross breeding ground in the world and holds … globally important numbers of Black-browed (Thalassarche melanophrys) and Grey-headed (T. chrysostoma) Albatrosses. A census in the Diego Ramírez Archipelago has been attempted only once…
resulted in devastating bushfires igniting in south-eastern Australia. As a result, a significant amount of smoke aerosols was injected into the upper troposphere-lower stratosphere (UTLS) region. Its properties, in particular H2O enhancement inside the smoke plume…
Black carbon (BC), the primary light-absorbing aerosol in the atmosphere, is emitted by the incomplete combustion of biomass and fossil fuels affecting the radiative balance of the atmosphere. As a contributor to climate change, BC may rival greenhouse gases such as methane.
1. Although marine protected areas (MPAs) are often established to protect threatened top-order … predators, there is a paucity of data that can be used to evaluate their efficacy in achieving this … purpose. 2.
The Antarctic ice cap is a unique vantage point from which to … observe the global background of black carbon aerosol (BC). Far … removed from sources, BC in the Antarctic atmosphere is largely … due to biomass burning at low- to mid-latitudes modulated by … upper tropospheric…
