Seasonal Distribution of the Fin Whale (Balaenoptera physalus) in Antarctic and Australian Waters Based on Passive Acoustics Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 (Ref: 16470)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The fin whale is listed as globally vulnerable, with ongoing threats to their population, yet little is known about the distribution and movements of the Southern Hemisphere sub-species, Balaenoptera physalus quoyi.

Diel patterns of fin whale 20 Hz acoustic presence in Eastern Antarctic waters Royal Society Open Science, 2023 (Ref: 16779)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

This study presents evidence of diel patterns in fin whale (Balaenoptera physalus) 20 Hz acoustic presence in Eastern Antarctic waters. Passive acoustic recordings were collected at four sites in Eastern Antarctica from 2013 to 2019.

Characterization of insoluble nanoparticles in Antarctic ice cores American Geophysical Union, Fall Meeting 2013, abstract id. C43B-0665, 2013 (Ref: 15959)
Category 3: Abstract

Insoluble nanoparticles in the form of aerosols have significant effects on climate and biogeochemical cycles. Records of these aerosols are essential for understanding paleoclimate forcing and future climate change.

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…
