Emerging evidence of abrupt changes in the Antarctic environment Nature, 2025 (Ref: 17362)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Human-caused climate change worsens with every increment of additional warming, although some impacts can develop abruptly. The potential for abrupt changes is far less understood in the Antarctic compared with the Arctic, but evidence is emerging for rapid…

Earth at 1.5 degrees warming: How vulnerable is Antarctica? Dialogues on Climate Change, 2025 (Ref: 17284)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The Antarctic Ice Sheet is integral to Earth's climate system, influencing global energy and water cycles, and ecosystems. Enough ice is stored in regions most vulnerable to rapid retreat to cause sea levels to rise by ?15?m if they completely melted, making their stability a key concern.

Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Stratosphere-to-troposphere transport (STT) provides an important … natural source of ozone to the upper troposphere, but the characteristics of … STT events in the Southern Hemisphere extratropics and their contribution to … the regional tropospheric ozone budget remain poorly constrained. Here…

Gravity wave momentum fluxes above and around Macquarie Island using ACCESS modelling AMOS/ARCCSS national conference 2016, Melbourne, Australia, 8-11 February 2016, 2016 (Ref: 15794)
Category 3: Poster

Missing gravity wave drag near 60 degrees south has been proposed as the cause of the common cold bias in modelled southern polar stratospheric temperatures [McLandress et al. 2012]. Potential gravity wave momentum sources around those latitudes, such as jets…

Ice core proxy of Antarctic sea-ice extent. International Symposium on Sea Ice in a Changing Environment, Hobart, Australia, 10-14 March 2014, 2014 (Ref: 15226)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Prior to the satellite era, ice core records have been used as a proxy for past sea-ice extent in Antarctica. This information is important for investigating long-term trends in sea-ice coverage.

Annular Modes and Stratosphere-Troposphere Coupling in Chemistry-Climate Models. Stratosphere-troposphere Processes and their Role in Climate (SPARC) 2014 General Assembly, Queenstown, New Zealand, 12-17 January 2014, 2014 (Ref: 15175)
Category 3: Poster

This study aims to assess the ability of climate models to reproduce observed stratosphere-troposphere coupling. Coupling between the stratosphere and troposphere is examined via the Southern and Northern Annular Modes (SAM and NAM). These modes…

Backward movement of ozone minimum position as a possible consequence of ozone recovery over Antarctica. American Geophysical Union 2013 Fall Meeting, San Francisco USA, 9-12 December 2013, 2013 (Ref: 15136)
Category 3: Poster

The ozone hole over Antarctica is formed inside polar stratospheric vortex, which is under influence of large-scale planetary waves. The Quasi-stationary wave (QSW) in the spring Southern Hemisphere (SH)…

Impacts of ocean acidification on early development of Antarctic krill. Third International Symposium on the Ocean in a High CO2 World, Monterey, California, USA, 24-27 September 2012, 2012 (Ref: 15091)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Antarctic krill (hereafter krill) is the key species of the Antarctic marine ecosystem as well as a target of commercial fishery in the Southern Ocean, which compels careful predictions about potential impacts of Ocean Acidification (OA)…

Simultaneous electron precipitation in the northern and southern auroral zones. Journal of Geophysical Research, 1963 (Ref: 406)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

During simultaneous high-altitude balloon flights from College, Alaska, and Macquarie Island, Australia, on March 5, 1962, substantial fluxes of auroral zone X rays were observed in both hemispheres during magnetic bay activity.

Seasonal temperature variability in the upper Southwest Pacific Ocean Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1999 (Ref: 13172)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Climatological monthly upper-ocean temperature anomalies from the annual mean in the subtropical southwest … Pacific Ocean show a characteristic out-of-phase relationship between the mixed layer and the underlying water.

Category 3: Conference paper

The Dome Summit South ice core from Law Dome, East Antarctica is 1200 m long and reveals an unusually high accumulation rate for Late Holocene precipitation (640 kg m2/a), dating to 90,000 years before present (BP) at its base.

Effect of line shooter and mainline tension on the sink rates of pelagic longlines and implications for seabird interactions. Acquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 2010 (Ref: 14155)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

1. The likelihood that seabirds will be hooked and drowned in longline fisheries increases when baited hooks sink slowly. Fishermen target different fishing depths by setting the mainline through a line shooter, which controls the tension (or slackness) in the line.
