Sustained greening of the Antarctic Peninsula observed from satellites Nature Geoscience, 2024 (Ref: 17268)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The Antarctic Peninsula has experienced considerable anthropogenic warming in recent decades. While cryospheric responses are well defined, the responses of moss-dominated terrestrial ecosystems have not been quantified. Analysis of Landsat archives (1986–2021)…

A comparison of baleen whale density estimates derived from overlapping satellite imagery and a shipborne survey Scientific Reports, 2020 (Ref: 17228)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

As whales recover from commercial exploitation, they are increasing in abundance in habitats that they have been absent from for decades. However, studying the recovery and habitat use patterns of whales, particularly in remote and inaccessible regions…

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.

Emperors in Hiding: When Ice-Breakers and Satellites Complement Each Other in Antarctic Exploration PLoS ONE, 2014 (Ref: 15294)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Evaluating the demographic trends of marine top predators is critical to understanding the processes involved in the ongoing rapid changes in Antarctic ecosystems. However, the remoteness and logistical complexity of operating in … Antarctica, especially during winter…

Emperor Penguins Breeding on Iceshelves PLoS ONE, 2014 (Ref: 15295)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We describe a new breeding behaviour discovered in emperor penguins; utilizing satellite and aerial-survey observations four emperor penguin breeding colonies have been recorded as existing on ice-shelves. Emperors have previously been considered as a sea-ice obligate species…

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)…
