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 dataset of Antarctic ecosystems in ice-free lands: classification, descriptions, and maps. Scientific Data, 2025 (Ref: 17260)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Antarctica, Earth's least understood and most remote continent, is threatened by human disturbances and climate-related changes, underscoring the imperative for biodiversity inventories to inform conservation. Antarctic ecosystems support unique species and genetic diversity…

A Novel Method for Using Small Unoccupied Aerial Vehicles to Survey Wildlife Species and Model Their Density Distribution Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 (Ref: 16720)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

There is growing interest from research and conservation groups in the potential for using small unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs; <2 kg) to conduct wildlife surveys because they are affordable, easy to use, readily available and reliable. However, limitations such as short flight endurance…

Using Unoccupied Aerial Vehicles to estimate availability and group size error for aerial surveys of coastal dolphins Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2022 (Ref: 16761)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Aerial surveys are frequently used to estimate the abundance of marine mammals, but their accuracy is dependent upon obtaining a measure of the avail?ability of animals to visual detection.

Drone images afford more detections of marine wildlife than real-time observers during simultaneous large-scale surveys PeerJ, 2023 (Ref: 17062)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

There are many advantages to transitioning from conducting marine wildlife surveys via human observers onboard light-aircraft, to capturing aerial imagery using drones. However, it is important to maintain the validity of long-term data series whilst transitioning from observer to imagery surveys.

Holocene westerly wind and ecosystem changes on sub-Antarctic Macquarie Island. 12th International Paleolimnology Symposium, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, Scotland 20-24 August 2012, 2012 (Ref: 14852)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

The mid- to high-latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere are dominated by the westerly winds. These are important because changes in their strength determine precipitation and temperature regimes. However, little is known about their past strength, or spatial and temporal variability.

Holocene climate and ecosystem variability on sub-Antarctic Campbell, Macquarie and Marion Islands. International Quaternary Association, University of Bern, Switzerland 21-27 July 2011, 2011 (Ref: 14855)
Category 3: Poster

The sub-Antarctic region between 45-60°S is primarily ocean. However, there are a few small isolated islands, most of which are currently facing the combined pressures of climate change and introduced species.

Holocene climate and ecosystem variability on sub-Antarctic Campbell, Macquarie and Marion Islands. SCAR Biology-EBA Workshop: Antarctic biodiversity: status and trends, University of Liège, Belgium, 31 May 2011, 2011 (Ref: 14854)
Category 3: Poster

The sub-Antarctic region between 45-60 °S is primarily ocean. However, there are a few small isolated islands, most of which are currently facing the combined pressures of climate change and introduced species.

12,000 years of westerly wind and ecosystem changes on sub-Antarctic Macquarie Island. Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research Open Science Meeting, University of Portland, Portland, USA, 15-19 July 2012, 2012 (Ref: 14853)
Category 3: Poster

Sub-Antarctic islands are the only landmasses between Antarctica and South America, Africa and Australia where terrestrial climate and ecosystem records are available, making them crucial locations for linking southern mid and high latitude regions. However…

Antarctic climate change and the environment Antarctic Science, 2009 (Ref: 13964)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The Antarctic climate system varies on timescales from orbital, through millennial to sub-annual, and is closely coupled to other parts of the global climate system.
