Advances in remote sensing of emperor penguins: first multi-year time series documenting trends in the global population. Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2024 (Ref: 17086)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Like many polar animals, emperor penguin populations are challenging to monitor because of the species' life history and remoteness. Consequently, it has been difficult to establish its global status, a subject important to resolve as polar environments change.

Climate forcings and variability during the last 2 ka. International Partnerships in Ice Core Sciences First Open Science Conference, 1-5 October 2012, Presqu’île de Giens, Côte d’Azur, France, 2012 (Ref: 15035)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Antarctic ice core records offer a key resource for understanding late Holocene climate … in the high latitude Southern Hemisphere, and potentially beyond.

An emperor penguin population estimate: the first global, synoptic survey of a species from space. PLoS ONE, 2012 (Ref: 14824)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Our aim was to estimate the population of emperor penguins (Aptenodytes fosteri) using a single synoptic survey. We examined the whole continental coastline of Antarctica using a combination of medium resolution and Very High Resolution (VHR)…

Covariation of sea ice and methanesulphonic acid in Wilhelm II Land, East Antarctica. Annals of Glaciology, 2006 (Ref: 12844)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Sea ice plays an important role in ocean–atmosphere heat exchange, global albedo and the marine ecosystem. Knowledge of variation in sea-ice extent is essential in order to understand past climates, and to model possible future climate scenarios.

The Agreement on the Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels: rationale, history, progress and the way forward Marine Ornithology, 2006 (Ref: 13335)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The Agreement on the Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels (ACAP) is a newly-constituted international treaty that as yet may be little … known to marine ornithologists around the world. We outline the rationale for the existence of the Agreement, the history of its development…

The Antarctic Committee for Environmental Protection: past, present, and future Polar Record, 2007 (Ref: 13002)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

ABSTRACT. The Committee for Environmental Protection (CEP) was established under the Protocol on … Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty to advise the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting (ATCM) on … matters relating to protection of the Antarctic environment.

Sea salt in Antarctica: A proxy for ccean storms or sea ice production? Abstracts of the SCAR Open Science Conference, Hobart, 12-14 July 2006., 2006 (Ref: 12554)
Category 3: Abstract

Conventionally the source of sea salt in the Antarctica was considered to be the ocean … surface. In simple terms, sea salt is ejected into the atmosphere as sea spray droplets, mixed … in the atmosphere, and transported to Antarctica via storm activity. Recently, however…

The annual numbers of Leopard Seals (Hydrurga leptonyx) sighted at Macquarie Island (over 56 years) are correlated significantly with periodic flux of sea-ice concentration south-east of the island. Abstract of the SCAR Open Science Conference, Hobart, 12-14 July 2006, 2006 (Ref: 12524)
Category 3: Abstract

This paper provides the first evidence to relate Leopard Seal numbers with sea-ice … concentrations in a region of the Eastern Antarctic pack ice and to propose a biological … mechanism (krill availability) to link the two. Leopard seals have been periodic, and sometimes numerous…
