Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Advances in our modelling capacity of wave–ice interactions are hindered by the limited availability of wave observations in sea ice and, specifically, under a broad range of wave and sea ice conditions.

Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

For nearly 3 decades, geodetic Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) measurements in Antarctica have provided direct observations of bedrock displacement, which is linked to various geodynamic processes, including plate motion, post-seismic deformation, and glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA).

Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Aerial surveys are frequently used to estimate the abundance of marine mammals, but their accuracy is dependent upon obtaining a measure of the avail?ability of animals to visual detection.

Diminishing numbers of male southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina Pinnipedia: Phocidae, Linnaeus, 1758) at the Vestfold Hills, East Antarctica (1957–2022) Antarctic Science, 2024 (Ref: 17161)
Authors:
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

A proportion of the southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina) population that breeds in the Kerguelen Plateau region seasonally migrates between their natal sub-Antarctic islands and moult haul-out locations on the Antarctic coastline.

Antarctic total ozone longitude–latitude dependence on sudden stratospheric warmings EGU General Assembly 2024, Vienna, Austria, 14–19 Apr 2024, 2024 (Ref: 17160)
Category 3: Abstract

We use Multi-Sensor Reanalysis and ground-based total ozone content (TOC) data to study total ozone variations in Antarctica near the dates of sudden stratospheric warmings (SSW). Three events were analyzed, including the warmings in 1988, 2002 (major warming), and 2019.

Modeling climate influences on male survival in the highly polygynous southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina). Ecosphere, 2024 (Ref: 17095)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The Southern Ocean, its ecosystem, and inhabitants are vulnerable to climate-mediated shifts in habitat conditions. These changes can affect marine predators in the long term through changes in the distribution, density, and quality of prey.

Spatiotemporal dependence of Antarctic sea ice variability to dynamic and thermodynamic forcing: a coupled ocean–sea ice model study Climate Dynamics, 2019 (Ref: 17040)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Satellite-derived Antarctic sea ice extent has displayed a slight upward since 1979, but with strong temporal and regional variability—the drivers of which are poorly understood. Here, we conduct numerical experiments with a circum-Antarctic ocean–sea ice…

Drivers of Antarctic Sea Ice Volume Change in CMIP5 Models Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2018 (Ref: 17042)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Antarctic sea ice trends have to date been linked to surface winds, through sea ice motion and atmospheric thermal advection. This paper analyzes sea ice volume in 10 Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) model configurations under pre-industrial and historical climate forcings…

Differences in age-dependent survival between male and female Southern Elephant Seals 10th SCAR Open Science Conference: Antarctica in a Changing World, 1-10 August 2022, Oral presentation, 2022 (Ref: 17027)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Individual life-history traits, such as age and sex, influence vital rates in most large vertebrate species. Developmental differences are especially profound in polygamous mating systems. One of the most polygamous of all mammals, the southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina)…

Deriving melt rates at a complex ice shelf base using in situ radar Application to Totten Ice Shelf Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 (Ref: 16392)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

A phase-sensitive radar (ApRES) was deployed on Totten Ice Shelf to provide the first in situ basal melt estimate at this dynamic East Antarctic ice shelf.

Using seabird and whale distribution models to estimate spatial consumption of krill to inform fishery management Ecosphere, 2022 (Ref: 16500)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Ecosystem dynamics at the northwest Antarctic Peninsula are driven by interactions between physical and biological processes. For example, baleen whale populations are recovering from commercial harvesting against the backdrop of rapid climate change…

Deep learning algorithm outperforms experienced human observer at detection of blue whale D-calls: a double-observer analysis Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2022 (Ref: 16692)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

An automated algorithm for passive acoustic detection of blue whale D-calls was developed based on established deep learning methods for image recognition via the DenseNet architecture. The detector was trained on annotated acoustic recordings from the Antarctic…

Direct evidence for significant deglaciation across the Weddell Sea embayment during MeltWater Pulse-1B Geophysical Research Abstracts, European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 2015, Vienna, Austria, 12-17 April 2015, 2015 (Ref: 15722)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

During the last deglaciation (21,000 to 7,000 years ago) global sea level rise was punctuated by several abruptmeltwater spikes triggered by the retreat of ice sheets and glaciers world-wide. However, questions regarding therelative timing…
