Abstract Ice-free areas occupy< 0.5% of Antarctica and are unevenly distributed across the
continent. Terrestrial ecosystem dynamics in ice free areas are strongly influenced by …

Results obtained during the International Polar Year (IPY) on the thermal state of permafrost
and the active layer in the Antarctic are presented, forming part of ANTPAS ('Antarctic …

Dramatic warming of the climate over the last several decades has influenced the properties
and distribution of permafrost in the Antarctic Peninsula region. Five approaches were used …

Climate-induced warming of permafrost soils is a global phenomenon, with regional and site-
specific variations which are not fully understood. In this context, a 2-D automated electrical …

Surface energy budgets were calculated using turbulent flux observation data and
meteorological gradient data collected in 2008 from two sites: BJ, located in a seasonally …

Abstract The Western Antarctic Peninsula region shows mean annual air temperatures
ranging from− 4 to− 2° C. Due to its proximity to the climatic threshold of permafrost, and …

Thermoelectric devices hold significant promise for generating electricity from geothermal
heat, enabling the powering of measuring equipment in remote locations without the need …

The absence of vegetation in most ice‐free areas of Antarctica makes the soil surface very
sensitive to atmosphere dynamics, especially in the western sector of the Antarctic …

Permafrost is a widespread phenomenon in the cold regions of the globe and is under‐
represented in global monitoring networks. This study presents a novel low‐cost, low …

Abstract The Western Antarctic Peninsula region is one of the hot spots of climate change
and one of the most ecologically sensitive regions of Antarctica, where permafrost is near its …
