Beyond counting calls: estimating detection probability for Antarctic blue whales reveals biological trends in seasonal calling Frontiers in Marine Science, 2024 (Ref: 17166)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We explore the utility of estimating the density of calls of baleen whales for better understanding acoustic trends over time. We consider as a case study stereotyped 'song' calls of Antarctic blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus intermedia)…

South Georgia blue whales five decades after the end of whaling Endangered Species Research, 2020 (Ref: 17229)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Blue whales Balaenoptera musculus at South Georgia were heavily exploited during 20th century industrial whaling, to the point of local near-extirpation. Although legal whaling for blue whales ceased in the 1960s…

Have whales returned to a historical hotspot of industrial whaling? The pattern of southern right whale Eubalaena australis recovery at South Georgia Endangered Species Research, 2020 (Ref: 17232)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Around 176500 whales were killed in the sub-Antarctic waters off South Georgia (South Atlantic) between 1904 and 1965. In recent decades, whales have once again become summer visitors, with the southern right whale (SRW) the most commonly reported species until 2011. Here…

Heard off Heard: Acoustic detections of sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) and other cetaceans off Heard Island. JASA Express Letters, 2024 (Ref: 17147)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

An underwater acoustic recorder was moored off Heard Island from September 2017 through March 2018 to listen for marine mammals. Analysis of data was initially conducted by visual inspection of long-term spectral averages to reveal sounds from sperm whales, Antarctic and pygmy blue whales…

In Situ Validation of Altimetry and CFOSAT SWIM Measurements in a High Wave Environment CSIRO. Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 2023 (Ref: 17113)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

While satellite altimeters have revolutionized ocean science, validation measurements in high wave environments are rare. Using geodetic Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) data collected from the Southern Ocean Flux Station (SOFS; ?47°S, 142°E) since 2019…

Estimation of Antarctic Land-Fast Sea Ice Algal Biomass and Snow Thickness From Under-Ice Radiance Spectra in Two Contrasting Areas Journal of Geophysical Research – Oceans, 2018 (Ref: 17045)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Fast ice is an important component of Antarctic coastal marine ecosystems, providing a prolific habitat for ice algal communities. This work examines the relationships between normalized difference indices (NDI)…

The Australian Antarctic Science 10-year Krill and Krill Ecosystem Project (KaKE): A Long-Term Marine Ecosystem Monitoring Project Commencing in East Antarctica IWC Scientific Committee Meeting (SC69A), Bled, Slovenia, 24 April - 6 May 2023, 2023 (Ref: 16911)
Category 2: International meeting papers

Antarctic krill are a fundamental component of Southern Ocean ecosystems and perturbations to krill populations have ramifications for the entire ecosystem. Krill are fished across the Southern Ocean and sustainable management of this fishery is a high priority for the Australian Government.
