Abstract Antarctic and Southern Ocean science is vital to understanding natural variability, the processes that govern global change role of humans in Earth climate system. The potential for new knowledge be gained from future substantial. Therefore, international community came together ‘scan horizon’ identify highest priority scientific questions researchers should aspire answer next two decades beyond. Wide consultation was a fundamental principle development collective, view most...
The view from the south is, more than ever, dominated by ominous signs of change. Antarctica and Southern Ocean are intrinsic to Earth system, their evolution is intertwined with influences course Anthropocene. In turn, changes in Antarctic affect presage humanity's future. Growing understanding countering popular beliefs that pristine, stable, isolated, reliably frozen. An aspirational roadmap for science has facilitated research since 2014. A renewed commitment gathering further knowledge...
The Antarctic has significant environmental, scientific, historic, and intrinsic values, all of which are worth protecting into the future. Nevertheless, area is subject to an increasing level diversity human activities that may impact these values within marine, terrestrial cryosphere environments. Threats environment, aforementioned include climate change, pollution, habitat destruction, wildlife disturbance non-native species introductions. Over time, a suite legally binding international...
Abstract Over the last couple of decades, polar tourism has significantly grown in number visitors and diversified terms activities offered. The COVID-19 pandemic brought to a halt prompted researchers, operators policy-makers alike reflect on how Arctic Antarctic have developed, they are being managed governed and, importantly, influence socio-ecological systems. Given dominance ship-based over other types Polar Regions, we discuss cornerstones developed 50 years explore relevant...
The growth in polar travel has been matched recent decades by an intensification of scholarly activity related to many aspects tourism. This paper systematically reviews 262 journal articles published on tourism (1980–2016) and identifies key research phases themes. development the network is documented through a social analysis (SNA) reveals highly fragmented community with exception dense principal core group researchers. A agenda outlining future themes priorities proposed. indicates that...
Abstract The Year of Polar Prediction in the Southern Hemisphere (YOPP-SH) had a special observing period (SOP) that ran from 16 November 2018 to 15 February 2019, chosen span austral warm season months greatest operational activity Antarctic. Some 2,200 additional radiosondes were launched during 3-month SOP, roughly doubling routine program, and network drifting buoys Ocean was enhanced. An evaluation global model forecasts SOP using its data has confirmed extratropical forecast skill lags...
ABSTRACT The future is uncertain for Antarctica, with many possibilities – some more plausible, others preferable. Indeed, the region and its governance regime may be reaching (or have reached) a crossroads moment as result of series challenges, including changing Antarctic climate environment, increasing human activity, shifting values among states low-cost, somewhat benign (the Treaty System). Within this context there are number interdependent drivers that likely to influence Antarctica's...
Abstract The Antarctic Roadmap Challenges (ARC) project identified critical requirements to deliver high priority research in the 21st century. ARC addressed challenges of enabling technologies, facilitating access, providing logistics and infrastructure, capitalizing on international co-operation. Technological include: i) innovative automated situ observing systems, sensors interoperable platforms (including power demands), ii) realistic holistic numerical models, iii) enhanced remote...

The Polar Regions are undergoing rapid environmental change while simultaneously witnessing growth and diversification of human activity. These changes call for more responsive, detailed specialized weather, water, ice climate (WWIC) information services so that the risks related to activities can be minimized. Drawn from an extensive literature review this article provides examination selected sectors their uses WWIC in order offer initial understanding diverse forecasting needs. Utilizing...
Abstract The term “Antarctic ambassadorship” is increasingly used to represent an individual’s connection Antarctica and their subsequent advocacy. However, there little clarity regarding the concept. To address this, we combined a literature review with expert elicitation workshop. We argue that (i) concept of Antarctic ambassador has been understood in myriad ways; (ii) ambassadors have to, knowledge passion for Antarctica; (iii) they also commitment defending advancing values (iv)...
Abstract The Year of Polar Prediction (YOPP), an international research initiative organized by the World Meteorological Organization’s (WMO) Weather Research Program from 2013–2022, aimed to markedly enhance environmental prediction capabilities in polar regions and beyond, particularly context a rapidly changing climate. YOPP achieved this through concerted effort observation, modeling, verification, user engagement, educational activities. This article offers comprehensive overview YOPP’s...
Antarctic tourism has grown rapidly in volume and diversified into an ever wider range of activities, transport modes destinations. Antarctica is a global commons, which limits the options for regulating development. This configuration raised concerns debates among academics, policy makers interest groups about challenges regulation management long term. Based on literature review recently published research papers, this article takes stock current state knowledge strategic facing regulators...
The guidelines on heritage management adopted by the 2018 Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting provide most recent iteration for an tourism sector which had, prior to COVID-19 pandemic, been projected increase further with various risks and potential impacts requiring careful management. In this paper role of cultural pandemic is examined through three empirical perspectives. First, how represented designation Historic Sites Monuments Site Guidelines Visitors; then presented operators'...

The Arctic is affected by global environmental change and also diverse interests from many economic sectors industries. Over the last decade, various actors have attempted to explore options for setting up integrated comprehensive trans-boundary systems monitoring observing these impacts. These Observation Systems (AOS) contribute planning, implementation, evaluation of responsible social development in Arctic. aim this article identify two-way relationship between AOS tourism. On one hand,...
Sustainable management of nature-based tourism sites is a pertinent issue in vulnerable Arctic environments. operators often act collectively to protect their common interests ensuring the sustainability sites. Nowadays, information and communication technology (ICT) increasingly used support these collaborative efforts, but remoteness risks associated with operations challenge success such collective action. This study explores use ICT as tool for ensure sustained quality. Drawing on case...
