Centimetre-Scale Micro-Topography Structures Biologically Relevant Microclimates in Antarctic Moss Beds Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2025 (Ref: 17423)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Aim … Polar and alpine plants live at the edge of their physiological limits. Thus, relatively small changes in climate can have disproportionate effects on biological and ecological processes. Antarctic mosses display highly variable micro-topography (canopy architecture)…

Species on the move in Antarctic terrestrial communities Species on the Move Conference, Hobart, Australia 9-12 February 2016, 2016 (Ref: 15848)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Antarctica has experienced major changes in temperature, wind speed and stratospheric ozone levels over the last 50 years. Whilst West Antarctica and the peninsula have shown rapid warming and consequent ecosystem change, East Antarctica appeared to be little impacted by climate warming…

Southern Ocean Islands Invaded: Conserving biodiversity in the World’s last wilderness. Plant Invasions in Protected Areas; Patterns, Problems and Challenges, 2013 (Ref: 15145)
Authors:
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The Southern Ocean islands are some of the most isolated landmasses in the world. Few of the islands support permanent human settlements or land based industries and as such they remain as some of the most uninvaded landscapes globally.

Cold events over southern Australia: Synoptic climatology and hemispheric structure Journal of Climate, 2009 (Ref: 14003)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Cold events (CEs) are an important feature of southern Australian weather. Unseasonably cold conditions … can have a significant impact on Australia’s agricultural industry and other aspects of society. In this study the … bottom 0.4% of maximum temperatures in Melbourne and Perth from the 1958…

Ocean acidification impacts on Southern Ocean calcifiers IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science. Paper presented at Climate Change Global Risks, Challenges and Decisions, Copenhagen 10-12th March 2009, 2009 (Ref: 13624)
Category 3: Abstract

Adding carbon dioxide (CO2) to the ocean alters the carbonate chemistry and lowers pH, making surface waters more acidic and decreasing the carbonate ions available to calcifiers for calcite and aragonite production.

Interannual variability of pteropod shell weights in the High-CO2 Southern Ocean Second Symposium on The Ocean in a High-CO2 World, Monaco, 6-9 October, 2008, 2008 (Ref: 13592)
Category 3: Conference paper

Anthropogenic CO2 added to the atmosphere during and since the industrial revolution is entering the global ocean. Addition of extra (anthropogenic) CO2 to the ocean changes the carbonate chemistry and the pH of the surface ocean…

A large Vertical Wind in the thermosphere at the Auroral Oval/Polar Cap Boundary seen simultaneously from Mawson and Davis, Antarctica. Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestial Physics, 1999 (Ref: 8819)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Ground-based Fabry-Perot spectrometer observations from the Australian Antarctic stations of Davis and Mawson show an upward wind ~100 m s-1 in the thermosphere at ~240 km altitude on the night of Day of Year 159 in 1997.

Thermospheric wind field over Mawson and Davis, Antarctica; simultaneous observations by two Fabry-Perot spectrometers of l630 nm emission. Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics., 1999 (Ref: 8818)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The thermopheric oxygen l630 nm emission has been observed using high-resolution Fabry-Perot spectrometers at Mawson (67.6°S, 62.9°E) and Davis (68.6°S, 78.0°E), Antarctica. A new technique, combining the results from the two instruments, is used to derive vector wind fields.
