The instrumentation of southern elephant seals with satellite-linked CTD tags has offered
unique temporal and spatial coverage of the Southern Indian Ocean since 2004. This …

Temperature profile data for the west Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) continental shelf waters,
collected from freely ranging instrumented seals (crabeater, Lobodon carcinophagus and …

Over the last decade, several hundred seals have been equipped with conductivity‐
temperature‐depth sensors in the Southern Ocean for both biological and physical …

There is increasing emphasis put on the correlation of marine predator behaviour and
foraging performance with the bio-physical properties of the ocean environment. However …

Polar regions are particularly sensitive to climate change, with the potential for significant
feedbacks between ocean circulation, sea ice, and the ocean carbon cycle. However, the …

In situ observation of the marine environment has traditionally relied on ship-based
platforms. The obvious consequence is that physical and biogeochemical properties have …

Diving marine predators have been used to collect data on ocean temperature, but salinity
measurements have not previously been incorporated into predator-borne data loggers …

Fourteen time-depth-temperature recorders were recovered from adult southern elephant
seals (Mirounga leonina) returning to Macquarie Island to breed or moult. The resulting …

Foraging adult southern elephant seals, Mirounga leonina, from Penı́nsula Valdés,
