Antarctica and the Southern Ocean provide numerous ecosystem services that benefit people globally, but many are ‘invisible’ to markets and to some decision makers. A subset of these services — Antarctic tourism, commercial fisheries, and a suite of inter-related regulating services — are conservatively valued at ~US $180 billion annually, highlighting their importance.
Ana Cristina Vasquez discusses how Cu isotopes can trace metal pollution sources from anthropogenic activities, such as urban pollution, traffic emissions, mining and smelting
Gebanruo Chen explains how tethered air balloons can take high-resolution and high-altitude water vapour measurements to give insights into the atmospheric water cycle
Sonification uses non-speech audio to convey complex data patterns in both space and time, overcoming visual and language barriers to science communication. Data sonification is primed to aid interpretations of multi-dimensional Earth and environmental data streams, perhaps even revealing unrecognized patterns and feedbacks in unwieldy datasets.
An article in Geophysical Research Letters outlines that a positive trend in the Southern Annular Mode is unlikely to have caused observed cooling in Southern Ocean sea surface temperatures.
Disaster risk communication traditionally focuses on authorities conveying hazard and risk information to at-risk populations, with little consideration of local community knowledge. To enable risk reduction and resilience, disaster management must forge partnerships with local communities and empower citizen-led initiatives.
