Snow algae are important primary producers in Antarctic terrestrial ecosystems. As short-term Antarctic summer temperatures approach 20°C, parameterising temperature tolerance for snow algal species is key to determining how climate […] The post Antarctic snow algal responses to temperature – potential implications of climate change appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.

Human activity has driven retreat of one of Antarctica’s most important glaciers British Antarctic Survey scientists have contributed to the first study to directly link the retreat of a major Antarctic glacier to human-caused climate change. The post Human activity has driven retreat of one of Antarctica’s most important glaciers appeared first on British Antarctic…
The West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) has undergone rapid change over the satellite era, characterized by significant thinning, grounding-line retreat, and mass loss. More than a third of the ice […] The post Detection and attribution of the role of anthropogenic climate change in industrial-era retreat of Pine Island Glacier appeared first on British Antarctic…
This review considers the current status, and highlights existing knowledge gaps, on Antarctic terrestrial and freshwater biological responses to climate change. Climate change is considered to be one of the […] The post Antarctic terrestrial and freshwater biological responses to climate change appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.
