As the Antarctic Ice Pack Recedes, a Fragile Ecosystem Hangs in the Balance
Feature Open access, freely available online H arrowing tales of starvation and endurance epitomize Antarctica's " heroic age, " when men equipped with little more than fortitude struggled against a landscape seemingly designed to thwart their intentions. A menacing sea ice fi gures prominently in these improbable survival stories. Daunting to early-20th-century explorers—trapping (and ultimate...
متن کاملInter-annual sea-ice dynamics and micro-algal biomass in winter pack ice of Marguerite Bay, Antarctica
microbial biomass or production processes within the pack ice of the Antarctic extremely rare. The evaluation of their inter-annual variability in the context of ice dynamics and trends in regional climate has not been possible. During the late winters of 2001 (July–August) and 2002 (August–September) we assessed sea-ice dynamics, sea-ice characteristics, and biomass of sea-ice microbiota along...
متن کاملResponses of Antarctic pack-ice seals to environmental change and increasingkrill fishing
The compound effects of changing habitats, ecosystem interactions, and fishing practices have implications for the management of Antarctic krill and conservation of its predators. For Antarctic pack-ice seals, an important group of krill predators, we estimate the density and krill consumption in theWest Antarctic Peninsula (WAP)–WesternWeddell Sea area, the main fishery region; and we consider...
متن کاملAntarctic sea-ice extents and concentrations: comparison of satellite and ship measurements from International Polar Year cruises
Antarctic Sea Ice Processes and Climate (ASPeCt) ship-based ice observations, conducted during the Sea Ice Mass Balance in the Antarctic (SIMBA) and Sea Ice Physics and Ecosystem eXperiment (SIPEX) International Polar Year (IPY) cruises (September–October 2007), are used to validate remote-sensing measurements of ice extent and concentration. Observations include varied sea-ice types at and ins...
