Snow algae

A Greener Antarctica
Date: 2020
Type: Cold Call Article
Authors: Professor Ian Hawes – Antarctic Science Platform Programme Leader
Summary: Green snow is a visible marker of environmental change in polar regions. The colour is due to a group of algae. While conditions for snow algae ecosystems are rare in the Ross Sea sector of Antarctica — it is too cold — snow algae are a good illustration of the complex changes that can happen in fragile ecosystems as climate change accelerates.

A Climate Crisis Opportunity?
Policy implications of COVID-19 on climate change mitigation and adaptation
Date: 2020
Type: Cold Call Article
Authors: Professor Tim Naish, Professor Andrea Dutton (guest contributor & visiting Fullbright Scholar )
Summary: The global coronavirus pandemic provides a source of hope that we can combat a common threat and that rapid social transformation is possible within a very short time-frame. We need this hope, because global cooperation is essential for tackling climate change. Our world is interconnected, and there is an opportunity to improve environmental and social outcomes as we rebuild from the pandemic.
