The Southern Ocean Time Series (SOTS) provides highly temporally resolved observations of the physical, chemical, and biological variability in the upper ocean, as well as the export of particulate organic and inorganic carbon to the ocean interior, in the subantarctic region south of Australia.
Microbial communities in Antarctic marine sponges have distinct taxonomic and functional profiles due to low temperatures, seasonal days and nights, and geographic isolation. These sponge holobionts contribute to nutrient cycling, structural habitat formation, and benthic ecosystem resilience.
The subantarctic zone is an important region in the Southern Ocean with respect to its influence on air-sea CO2 exchange and the global ocean carbon cycle. However, understanding of the magnitude and drivers of the flux are still being refined.
Antarctic and Southern Ocean science is vital to understanding natural variability, the processes that govern global change and the role of humans in the Earth and climate system. The potential for new knowledge to be gained from future Antarctic science is substantial. Therefore…
In January 2005, members of a Chinese expedition team … were the first humans to visit Dome A on the Antarctic plateau, a site … predicted to be one of the very best astronomical sites on earth. In 2006, the Chinese Center for Antarctic Astronomy (CCAA)…
PLATO is a fully-robotic observatory designed for operation … in Antarctica. It generates its own electricity (about 1kW), heat … (sufficient to keep two 10-foot shipping containers comfortably above … 0◦C when the outside temperature is at −70◦C)…
The THz spectral region includes a number of important … transitions which allow us to trace the evolution of the interstellar … medium. Because of the opacity of the atmosphere in this spectral … range, the best sites for ground-based THz observations are on the … Antarctic Plateau; of these sites…
