Understanding the vulnerability of marine calcifiers to ocean acidification is a critical issue,
especially in the Southern Ocean (SO), which is likely to be the one of the first, and most …

Phytoplankton are the base of the Antarctic food web, sustain the wealth and diversity of life
for which Antarctica is renowned, and play a critical role in biogeochemical cycles that …

Following over 3 decades of gradual but uneven increases in sea ice coverage, the yearly
average Antarctic sea ice extents reached a record high of 12.8× 106 km2 in 2014, followed …

February 2020 was anomalously warm in the Antarctic Peninsula region and registered one

Since the 1950s, research stations on the Antarctic Peninsula have recorded some of the
largest increases in near-surface air temperature in the Southern Hemisphere. This warming …

Antarctic terrestrial biodiversity occurs almost exclusively in ice-free areas that cover less
than 1% of the continent. Climate change will alter the extent and configuration of ice-free …

The past decade has seen substantial advances in understanding Arctic amplification—that
trends and variability in surface air temperature tend to be larger in the Arctic region than for …

Over the last three decades, the South Pole has experienced a record-high statistically
significant warming of 0.61±0.34° C per decade, more than three times the global average …

Abstract The Antarctic Peninsula (AP) is often described as a region with one of the largest
warming trends on Earth since the 1950s, based on the temperature trend of 0.54° C/decade …

While there is a recognised need to adapt to changing climatic conditions, there is an
emerging discourse of limits to such adaptation. Limits are traditionally analysed as a set of …
