Marine animals equipped with biological and physical electronic sensors have produced
long-term data streams on key marine environmental variables, hydrography, animal …

Systematic long-term studies on ecosystem dynamics are largely lacking from the East
Antarctic Southern Ocean, although it is well recognized that they are indispensable to …

This chapter assesses the state of physical, biological and social knowledge concerning the
Arctic and Antarctic ocean and cryosphere, how they are affected by climate change, and …

Like many species, movement patterns of southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) are
being influenced by long‐term environmental change. These seals migrate up to 4,000 km …

Coastal polynyas are key formation regions for dense shelf water (DSW) that ultimately
contributes to the ventilation of the ocean abyss. However, not all polynyas form DSW. We …

Polynyas are subject to variability in winds and ocean circulation and are important sites of
ecological productivity. In February 2010, the B09B iceberg collided with the Mertz Glacier …

Antarctic coastal polynyas serve as crucially-important sea-ice “factories” and are (in certain
cases) of global significance as sites of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) formation eg, the …

We provide a detailed description of the spatial distribution, seasonality and transformation
of the main water masses within MacKenzie Polynya (MP) in Prydz Bay, East Antarctica …

Antarctic polynyas are persistent open water areas which enable early and large seasonal
phytoplankton blooms. This high primary productivity, boosted by iron supply from coastal …

To date, the majority of studies investigating marine mammal distribution and behavior take
a single-species perspective, which is often driven by the logistic difficulties of collecting …
