Sea ice can be interspersed vertically with both permeable and impermeable layers. These features can be smaller than a few centimetres but are important for understanding biogeochemical cycles in sea ice. Traditionally…
The Sea Ice Physico-Chemistry and Ecosystems 2024 (SLOPE2024) workshop was conducted in the Saroma-ko Lagoon, Hokkaido, Japan from the middle of February to the beginning of March 2024. The aim of SLOPE2024 was to study the physical, chemical…
This paper presents the global analysis of two extended decreases in the galactic cosmic-ray intensity observed by worldwide networks of ground-based detectors in 2012. This analysis is capable of separately deriving the cosmic-ray density (or omnidirectional intensity) and anisotropy…
Observations of temporary Forbush decreases (FDs) in the Galactic cosmic-ray (GCR) flux due to the passage of solar storms are useful for space-weather studies and alerts. Here…
Changes in habitat availability and prey abundance are predicted to adversely influence survival and reproduction of wildlife in the Southern Ocean. Some populations of southern right whale (SRW; Eubalaena australis) are showing dramatic changes in habitat use.
Cosmic rays are charged particles whose flux observed at Earth shows temporal variations related to space weather phenomena and may be an important tool to study them. The cosmic ray intensity recorded with ground-based detectors also shows temporal variations arising from atmospheric variations.
We review the scientific literature, especially from the past decade, on the impacts of human … activities on the Antarctic environment. A range of impacts has been identified at a variety of spatial and … temporal scales.
The foraging behaviour of conspecific female Antarctic fur seals (AFS) was compared … simultaneously at 2 breeding colonies at Iles Kerguelen (S Indian Ocean). A remnant colony at IIes … Nuageuses (IN)…
The Diego Ramírez Archipelago, Chile, is the southernmost albatross breeding ground in the world and holds … globally important numbers of Black-browed (Thalassarche melanophrys) and Grey-headed (T. chrysostoma) Albatrosses. A census in the Diego Ramírez Archipelago has been attempted only once…
Space weather forecasting is a very important tool for the space situational awareness to the space objects, the space environment and related threats and risks for manned and non-manned spacecrafts. The global network of ground based multi-directional detectors (GMDN)…
We use complementary observations from the prototype Global Muon Detector Network (GMDN) and the Advanced Composition Explorer satellite to identify precursors of geomagnetic storm events. The GMDN was completed in March 2006 with the installation of the Kuwait detector…
We analyse the precursor of a Forbush decrease (FD) observed with the Global Muon Detector Network on 2006 December 14. An intense geomagnetic storm was also recorded during this FD with the peak Kp index of 8+.

The Global Muon Detector Network (GMDN) was … completed by installing a multi-directional cosmic-ray muon … hodoscope in Kuwait University in March 2006. The GMDN is … currently consisting of four multi-directional muon detectors … located at Nagoya (Japan), Hobart (Australia), Sao Martinho …
We have developed a method for determining interplanetary coronal mass ejection … (ICME) geometry from galactic cosmic ray data recorded by the ground-based muon … detector network. The cosmic ray density depression inside the ICME, which is associated … with a Forbush decrease…
Filter fractionated picophytoplankton from … Antarctic coastal waters (summer 2001) represented only … 7–33% of total phytoplankton, even though total stocks … were low (average Chl a = 0.32 g l¡1, range = 0.13– 1.03 g l¡1). Though all cells passed a 2 m Wlter…
We compiled and reviewed 248 cases of reported vessel collisions with small cetaceans worldwide and with large … cetaceans in the Southern Hemisphere. Difficulties were encountered with the comparison of highly variable data in … terms of quality (evidence), sources…
A multi-directional telescope for detection of high-energy galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) - muons … was installed in 2001, through an international cooperation between Brazil, Japan and USA, and … operated since then at the Southern Space Observatory - SSO/CRS/INPE - MCT, (29S, 53W)…
