Abstract Antarctic and Southern Ocean (ASO) marine ecosystems have been changing for at
least the last 30 years, including in response to increasing ocean temperatures and changes …

The massive number of seabirds (penguins and procellariiformes) and marine mammals
(cetaceans and pinnipeds)–referred to here as top predators–is one of the most iconic …

We present an update of the 'key points' from the Antarctic Climate Change and the
Environment (ACCE) report that was published by the Scientific Committee on Antarctic …

To understand how planet Earth works we study it increasingly as a system–a collection of
interdependent parts or spheres–the lithosphere, the hydrosphere, the cryosphere, the …

The ocean has been shielding the earth from the worst effects of rapid climate change by
absorbing excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This absorption of CO 2 is driving …

Westerly winds in the Southern Ocean have increased in intensity and moved poleward.
Using long-term demographic and foraging records, we show that foraging range in …

Although Antarctic sea ice is undergoing a slight increase in overall extent, major regional
changes are occurring in its spatio-temporal characteristics (most notably in sea ice …

This review focuses on the impacts of climate change on population dynamics. I introduce
the MUP (Measuring, Understanding, and Predicting) approach, which provides a general …

Current evidence of phenological responses to recent climate change is substantially biased
towards northern hemisphere temperate regions. Given regional differences in climate …

The continental shelf of the Ross Sea exhibits substantial variations in physical forcing, ice
cover, and biological processes on a variety of time and space scales. Its circulation is …
