South Georgia blue whales five decades after the end of whaling Endangered Species Research, 2020 (Ref: 17229)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

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…

Global assessment of marine plastic exposure risk for oceanic birds. Nature Communications, 2023 (Ref: 16863)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

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 2019/20 Black Summer fire weather exceptionally rare over the last 2000 years. Communications Earth and Environment, 2024 (Ref: 17140)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

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.

antFOCE (Antarctic Free Ocean CO2 Enrichment) – Ocean acidification under sea ice 4th International Symposium on the Ocean in a High-CO2 World, Hobart, Australia, 3-6 May 2016, 2016 (Ref: 15808)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

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…

Foraging habitats of top predators, and Areas of Ecological Significance, on the Kerguelen Plateau. The Kerguelen Plateau: marine ecosystem and fisheries, 2011 (Ref: 14718)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

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.

An estimate of the population sizes of Black-browed (Thalassarche melanophrys) and Grey-headed (T. chrysostoma) Albatrosses breeding in the Diego Ramírez Archipelago, Chile Emu, 2007 (Ref: 13306)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

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…

UTLS hydration from the smoke plume from the 2009 Australian Black Saturday bushfire. 2010 Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union, 13-17 December 2010, San Francisco, 2010 (Ref: 14317)
Category 3: Poster

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…

Spatial variability of black carbon deposition to Antarctica over the 20th Century. West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) Divide Workshop, La Jolla, USA, September 2010, 2010 (Ref: 14261)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

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.

Foraging areas of black-browed and grey-headed albatrosses breeding on Macquarie Island in relation to marine protected areas. Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater ecosystems, 2006 (Ref: 12691)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

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.
