A thicker Antarctic ice stream during the mid-Pliocene warm period. Communications Earth and Environment, 2023 (Ref: 17132)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Ice streams regulate most ice mass loss in Antarctica. Determining ice stream response to warmer conditions during the Pliocene could provide insights into their future behaviour, but this is hindered by a poor representation of subglacial topography in ice-sheet models.

Coordinated Movements Prevent Jamming in an Emperor Penguin Huddle. PLoS ONE, 2011 (Ref: 14719)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

For Emperor penguins (Aptenodytes forsteri), huddling is the key to survival during the Antarctic winter. Penguins in a … huddle are packed so tightly that individual movements become impossible, reminiscent of a jamming transition in … compacted colloids. It is crucial, however…

Through a glass less darkly—New approaches for studying the distribution, abundance and biology of Euphausiids Deep-Sea Research II, 2010 (Ref: 14043)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Euphausiids are vital components of many oceanic foodwebs. Due to their large size, they are key prey … species for many vertebrates, and several species are subject to commercial fisheries. The best studied … euphausiid species is Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba)…

Impact of changes in natural ultraviolet radiation on pigment composition, physiological and morphological characteristics of the Antarctic moss, Grimmia antarctici. Global Change Biology, 2005 (Ref: 11871)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The impact of ambient ultraviolet (UV)-B radiation on the endemic bryophyte, Grimmia … antarctici, was studied over 14 months in East Antarctica. Over recent decades, Antarctic … plants have been exposed to the largest relative increase in UV-B exposure as a result of … ozone depletion.

Ambient UV radiation levels negatively affect the endemic Antarctic moss, Grimmia antarctici. Abstracts from the International Botanical Congress, Vienna, July 2005, 2005 (Ref: 12327)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Over recent decades, Antarctic plants have been exposed to the … largest relative increase in UV-B exposure as a result of ozone … depletion. Open-sided plexiglass screens were used to reduce UV … levels by 77% over turves of the endemic Antarctic bryophyte, Grimmia antarctici…

Current status and future requirements of observations of the global carbon cycle, illustrated with a study of interannual variability in the 20-year Cape Grim CO 2 and d 13 C records. In: Cape Grim Baseline Air Pollution Station Annual Scientific Meeting: abstracts, Aspendale, Victoria, 2000 (Ref: 10004)
Authors:
Category 3: Abstract

Monitoring CO2 isotopes at Cape Grim commenced in 1976 (Goodman, 1980), using CO2 extracted from the air and returned to Aspendale for mass spectrometer analysis. The objective was to distinguish between terrestrial (including biosphere exchanges, deforestation and fossil fuel emissions)…

Enriched end-member of primitive MORB melts: petrology and geochemistry of glasses from Macquarie Island (SW Pacific) Journal of Petrology, 2000 (Ref: 9209)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Macquarie Island is an exposure above sea-level of part of the crest of the Macquarie Ridge. The ridge marks the Australia-Pacific plate boundary south of New Zealand…

Conservation management at Southern Ocean islands: towards the development of best-practice guidelines Polarforschung, 2005 (Ref: 13169)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Islands in the Southern Ocean are susceptible to several land-based threats, including invasion by human-introduced biota, disturbance of wildlife or sites, and various forms of pollution.
