Atmospheric rivers role in extreme temperatures and precipitation and potential effect on microbial biodiversity on the Antarctic Peninsula

The Antarctic Peninsula (AP) region is one of the fastest warming regions in the Southern Hemisphere, exhibiting an emerging polar warming amplification, and also showing a tendency towards higher amplitude and longer periods of extreme warm events.

NitrOnICE - Decipher Climate Change Impacts on the Arctic Ocean Nitrogen Microbiome

Nitrogen (N) is a fundamental element for living organisms and its biogeochemical cycle includes highly diverse microorganisms that make N compounds available for biological production.

Marine Spatial Planning in the Antarctic Region

Antarctica has significant environmental, scientific, historic, and intrinsic values, all of which are worth protecting. With the acceleration of global environmental change and the increase of human activities and related pressures in the region, developing sustainable ocean planning and effective governance is crucial.

Comparative evolutionary ecotoxicological adaptations to anthropogenic disturbance in sea anemones from the Antarctica and the deep sea

Polymetallic nodules in the deep-sea are targets for mining exploitation, introducing potentially toxic metals into the water column. Manganese (Mn) is one of several contaminants, also found in coastal areas near waste disposal sites of Antarctic research stations.

Spatial ecology of juvenile and immature black-browed albatrosses, with relevance for marine spatial planning and for the potential spread of pathogens

Seabirds are major consumers in the southern oceans, but also one of the most threatened biodiversity components in the region. Immature individuals make up ~50% of the population of long-lived seabirds (e.g. in albatrosses), but comparatively little is known about their ecology and behaviour.

Long-term assessment of the role of cephalopods in the diet of wandering albatrosses in the Southern Ocean: implications in Antarctic conservation policies

This study aims to make a substantial contribution to understanding of changes in pelagic marine food webs in the Southern Ocean in the last 50 years to define conservation policies developments.
