Survival of emperor penguins depends on emissions reductions
Authors: Rowan Howard-Williams and Michelle LaRue
Year Published: 2022
Document Type:
Cold Call Articles
Ownership: Antarctic Science Platform
Summary: Emperor penguins are an iconic Antarctic species, but their dependence on sea ice means they are expected to be impacted substantially by climate change.
Antarctic Sea Ice #2: Biological Importance
Authors: Kyle Clem, Rob Massom, Sharon Stammerjohn and Phillip Reid
Year Published: 2022
Document Type:
Reports
Ownership: Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research
Summary: Antarctic sea ice, in the form of immobile coastal “fast ice” and the more extensive moving pack ice supports one of the most extensive and productive ecosystems on Earth and is crucial to the structure and function of Southern Ocean marine ecosystems that are highly attuned to its presence and seasonal rhythms. This summary on SCAR's Antarctic Environments Portal is based on the best available science.
Case Study: Machine learning-assisted meta-analysis of biological research in Antarctica
Authors: Antarctic Science Platform
Year Published: 2022
Document Type:
Case Studies, Science
Summary: To understand what Antarctic ecosystems may look like in a warming world, it’s critical to first comprehensively understand the current-day biodiversity and biogeography.
Case Study: Bespoke technology is advancing Antarctic research
Authors: Antarctic Science Platform
Year Published: 2022
Document Type:
Case Studies
Summary: The long-term perspective of the Antarctic Science Platform has afforded research partners the certainty to invest in new equipment.
Highlights from ecosystems’ research 2021/22
Authors: Antarctic Science Platform
Year Published: 2022
Document Type:
Update, Science
Summary: A team of researchers are working to better understand what the future may hold for Ross Sea ecosystems, both on land and at sea. These are some highlights from 2021/22.
Choosing the future of Antarctica
Authors: S. R. Rintoul, S.L. Chown, R.M. DeCento, et all
Year Published: 2021
Document Type:
Papers
Summary: We present two narratives on the future of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, from the perspective of an observer looking back from 2070. In the first scenario, greenhouse gas emissions remained unchecked, the climate continued to warm, and the policy response was ineffective; this had large ramifications in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, with worldwide impacts. In the second scenario, ambitious action was taken to limit greenhouse gas emissions and to establish policies that reduced anthropogenic pressure on the environment, slowing the rate of change in Antarctica.
Case Study: The 2021 ReLiCC voyage of the RV Tangaroa: contributions to the strategic intent of the Antarctic Science Platform
Authors: Antarctic Science Platform
Year Published: 2021
Document Type:
Case Studies
Summary: The Ross Sea Life in a Changing Climate (ReLiCC) voyage undertaken by the RV Tangaroa in 2021 was the first to support a significant amount of research from the Antarctic Science Platform (ASP).
Platelet Ice: A Unique and Fragile Antarctic Ecosystem
Authors: Natalie Robinson and Rowan Howard-Williams
Year Published: 2021
Document Type:
Cold Call Articles
Ownership: Antarctic Science Platform
Summary: Just beneath the sea ice of the Ross Sea lies a fragile and largely unexplored world. Thin, delicate ice crystals come together in a layer, which can be several metres thick, attached to the bottom of the sea ice.
