Abstract The Antarctic Slope Current (ASC) is a coherent circulation feature that rings the
Antarctic continental shelf and regulates the flow of water toward the Antarctic coastline. The …

The marine ecosystem of the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) extends from the
Bellingshausen Sea to the northern tip of the peninsula and from the mostly glaciated coast …

Perhaps more than in any other ocean, our understanding of the continental shelves of the
Arctic Mediterranean is decidedly disciplinary, regional and fractured, and this shortcoming …

Climate change will alter marine ecosystems; however, the complexity of the food webs,
combined with chronic undersampling, constrains efforts to predict their future and to …

The coastal waters of the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) are associated with large
phytoplankton blooms dominated by large (> 20 µm) diatoms however, nanoplankton (< 20 …

Transport of relatively warm, nutrient-rich Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) onto continental
shelves around Antarctica has important effects on physical and biological processes …

In shelf waters of the western Antarctic Peninsula (wAP), with abundant macro-and
micronutrients, water-column stability has been suggested as the main factor controlling …

Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, has been studied since the early 1920s including
distribution, life cycle and behavioural biology. Quantitative aspects of distribution, biomass …

Ecosystem dynamics at the northwest Antarctic Peninsula are driven by interactions
between physical and biological processes. For example, baleen whale populations are …

Polar regions have experienced significant warming in recent decades. Warming has been
most pronounced across the Arctic Ocean Basin and along the Antarctic Peninsula, with …
