Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) is the densest water mass in the world and drives the lower limb of the global thermohaline circulation. AABW is formed in only four regions around Antarctica and Cape Darnley, East Antarctica, is the most recently discovered formation region. Here…
The last glacial termination was characterised by millennial-scale episodes of warming and cooling that appear offset between the hemispheres. It has been proposed that this bi-polar seesaw is the result of climate system feedbacks. A key debate, which remains unresolved…
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.
In this talk we describe the intra- and inter-annual variability in the timing of breeding phenology over a 16 year period for the Adélie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae) colony at Béchervaise Island, East Antarctica.
The diving behaviour of Adelie penguins Pygoscelis adeliae was studied with time-depth recorders at Dumont DUrville, Antarctica, during the breeding seasons in 1995/1996 and 1996/1997. We studied penguins foraging at all breeding stages, in various sea-ice conditions.
The foraging behaviour of Adélie penguins Pygoscelis adeliae was studied simultaneously at Shirley Island (SI, 110° E) and at Petrel Island (PI, 140° E) in approximate conjunction with the ship-based krill survey conducted on board the RSV Aurora Australis.
