Extreme environmental events (EEEs) in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean are occurring with growing frequency and severity, and will become more pronounced under continued global warming. Antarctic research relies on […] The post Antarctic science operations must account for climate change and extreme environmental events appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.
Climate change is reshaping contaminant pathways in Antarctica by mobilizing rare earth elements (REEs) and heavy metals from the cryosphere into marine ecosystems. Thaw-driven changes in salinity, pH, stratification, and […] The post Climate-Driven Mobilization of Rare Earth Elements and Metals in Antarctica: Pathways, Ecological Exposure, and Implications for Trophic Transfer appeared first on British…
Ecological roles, climate-driven responses, and critical knowledge gaps of krill in the global ocean
Human-induced global climate change and other anthropogenic stressors are fundamentally altering our oceans. Understanding the ecological and societal implications of these changes is critical for developing mitigation strategies and conservation […] The post Ecological roles, climate-driven responses, and critical knowledge gaps of krill in the global ocean appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.
On Monday 1 June at 4pm, the Research Group on Private Actor Responsibility (PAR) is holding a final Easter term event at the Lauterpacht Centre for International Law (LCIL) that discusses moral, ethical and legal aspects of individual accountability in the context of climate change. The discussion is based on a project…
Increasing human activity and climate change in Antarctica may increase the rates of non-native species introduction and establishment, resulting in potentially irreversible changes in marine and terrestrial ecological communities. The […] The post Grass is not always greener: enablers and barriers of non-native species governance and management in Antarctica appeared first on British Antarctic Survey.
