Plankton, a diverse group of aquatic organisms, make Earth livable, regulate aquatic life, and provide benefits to human societies such as access to clean water, food security, and well-being. They also support economies and inspire biotechnological innovations.
Body-size relationships between predators and prey exhibit remarkable diversity. However, the assumption that predators typically consume proportionally smaller prey often underlies size-dependent predation in ecosystem models. In reality…
The fine-scale distribution of pelagic forage fish is shaped by competing factors as fish optimise foraging while avoiding predation.
In January 2005, members of a Chinese expedition team … were the first humans to visit Dome A on the Antarctic plateau, a site … predicted to be one of the very best astronomical sites on earth. In 2006, the Chinese Center for Antarctic Astronomy (CCAA)…
PLATO is a fully-robotic observatory designed for operation … in Antarctica. It generates its own electricity (about 1kW), heat … (sufficient to keep two 10-foot shipping containers comfortably above … 0◦C when the outside temperature is at −70◦C)…
The THz spectral region includes a number of important … transitions which allow us to trace the evolution of the interstellar … medium. Because of the opacity of the atmosphere in this spectral … range, the best sites for ground-based THz observations are on the … Antarctic Plateau; of these sites…
We have characterised a small, high-efficiency diesel generator selected to power remote experiments on the Antarctic … plateau at altitudes of up to 5000 m.
PLATO (PLATeau Observatory) is the third-generation astronomical site-testing laboratory designed by the University … of New South Wales. This facility is operating autonomously to collect both scientific and site-testing data from … Dome A, the highest point on the Antarctic plateau…
Over a decade of site testing in Antarctica has shown that both South Pole and Dome C are exceptional sites for … astronomy, with certain atmospheric conditions superior to those at existing mid-latitude sites. However, the highest … point on the Antarctic plateau, Dome A…
PLATO, the ‘PLATeau Observatory’, is a robotic Antarctic observatory developed by UNSW for deployment to … Dome A, the highest point on the Antarctic plateau. PLATO is designed to run autonomously for up to a year, providing … power…
ABSTRACT. The PLATeau Observatory (PLATO) is an automated self-powered astrophysical observatory that … was deployed to Dome A, the highest point on the Antarctic plateau, in 2008 January.
Recent data have shown that Dome C, on the Antarctic plateau, is an exceptional site for astronomy, with atmospheric conditions superior to those at any existing mid-latitude site. Dome C, however, may not be the best site on the Antarctic plateau for every kind of astronomy.
