Antarktis-bibliografi er en database over den norske Antarktis-litteraturen.
Hensikten med bibliografien er å synliggjøre norsk antarktisforskning og annen virksomhet/historie i det ekstreme sør. Bibliografien er ikke komplett, spesielt ikke for nyere forskning, men den blir oppdatert.
Norsk er her definert som minst én norsk forfatter, publikasjonssted Norge eller publikasjon som har utspring i norsk forskningsprosjekt.
Antarktis er her definert som alt sør for 60 grader. I tillegg har vi tatt med Bouvetøya.
Det er ingen avgrensing på språk (men det meste av innholdet er på norsk eller engelsk). Eldre norske antarktispublikasjoner (den eldste er fra 1894) er dominert av kvalfangst og ekspedisjoner. I nyere tid er det den internasjonale polarforskninga som dominerer. Bibliografien er tverrfaglig; den dekker både naturvitenskapene, politikk, historie osv. Skjønnlitteratur er også inkludert, men ikke avisartikler eller upublisert materiale.
Til høyre finner du en «HELP-knapp» for informasjon om søkemulighetene i databasen. Mange referanser har lett synlige lenker til fulltekstversjon av det aktuelle dokumentet. For de fleste tidsskriftartiklene er det også lagt inn sammendrag.
Bibliografien er produsert ved Norsk Polarinstitutts bibliotek.

The unique challenges of polar ecosystems, coupled with the necessity for high-precision data, make Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) an ideal tool for vegetation monitoring and conservation studies in Antarctica. This review draws on existing studies on Antarctic UAV vegetation mapping, focusing on their methodologies, including surveyed locations, flight guidelines, UAV specifications, sensor technologies, data processing techniques, and the use of vegetation indices. Despite the potential of established Machine-Learning (ML) classifiers such as Random Forest, K Nearest Neighbour, and Support Vector Machine, and gradient boosting in the semantic segmentation of UAV-captured images, there is a notable scarcity of research employing Deep Learning (DL) models in these extreme environments. While initial studies suggest that DL models could match or surpass the performance of established classifiers, even on small datasets, the integration of these advanced models into real-time navigation systems on UAVs remains underexplored. This paper evaluates the feasibility of deploying UAVs equipped with adaptive path-planning and real-time semantic segmentation capabilities, which could significantly enhance the efficiency and safety of mapping missions in Antarctica. This review discusses the technological and logistical constraints observed in previous studies and proposes directions for future research to optimise autonomous drone operations in harsh polar conditions.

Supraglacial lakes on Antarctic ice shelves can have far-reaching implications for ice-sheet stability, highlighting the need to understand their dynamics, controls and role in the ice-sheet mass budget. We combine a detailed satellite-based record of seasonal lake evolution in Dronning Maud Land with a high-resolution simulation from the regional climate model Modèle Atmosphérique Régional to identify drivers of lake variability between 2014 and 2021. Correlations between summer lake extents and climate parameters reveal complex relationships that vary both in space and time. Shortwave radiation contributes positively to the energy budget during summer melt seasons, but summers with enhanced longwave radiation are more prone to surface melting and ponding, which is further enhanced by advected heat from summer precipitation. In contrast, previous winter precipitation has a negative effect on summer lake extents, presumably by increasing albedo and pore space, delaying the accumulation of meltwater. Downslope katabatic or föhn winds promote ponding around the grounding zones of some ice shelves. At a larger scale, we find that summers during periods of negative southern annular mode are associated with increased ponding in Dronning Maud Land. The high variability in seasonal lake extents indicates that these ice shelves are highly sensitive to future warming or intensified extreme events.

Satellite ocean color observations are extensively utilized in global carbon sink evaluation. However, the valid coverage of chlorophyll-a concentration (Chla, mg m−3) measurements from these observations is severely limited during autumn and winter in high latitude oceans. The high solar zenith angle (SZA) stands as one of the primary contributors to the reduced quality of Chla products in the high-latitude Southern Ocean during these seasons. This study addresses this challenge by employing a random forest-based regression ensemble (RFRE) method to enhance the quality of Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Chla products affected by high SZA conditions. The RFRE model incorporates the color index (CI), band-ratio index (R), SZA, sensor zenith angle (senz), and Rayleigh-corrected reflectance at 869 nm (Rrc(869)) as predictors. The results indicate that the RFRE model significantly increased the MODIS observed Chla coverage (1.03 to 3.24 times) in high-latitude Southern Ocean regions to the quality of standard Chla products. By applying the recovered Chla to re-evaluate the carbon sink in South Ocean, results showed that the Southern Ocean’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) in winter has been underestimated (5.9–18.6 Tg C year−1) in previous assessments. This study underscores the significance of improving the Chla products for a more accurate estimation of winter carbon sink in the Southern Ocean.
