Field teams have been living at rustic field camps studying changes in the Antarctic ecosystem for more than 30 years. Now, the field camps are getting an upgrade that will make it easier to conduct critical research.
Researchers attached video cameras to penguins and obtained some of the first footage of penguins synchronously swimming, diving, and feeding for several hours.
We study the population health of Antarctic seabirds in relation to the availability of Antarctic krill, their main food source. Our data are used to inform ecosystem-based management in the Southern Ocean.
We use advanced technologies to study the distribution and abundance of Antarctic krill in relation to environmental conditions. Our data are used to help manage krill populations in the Southern Ocean.
We study the population health of Antarctic fur seals in relation to the availability of Antarctic krill, their main food source. Our data are used to inform ecosystem-based management in the Southern Ocean.
