Dynamics of physical and biological systems of the Prince Edward Islands in a changing climate
Sub-Antarctic islands are classified as isolated, hostile, impoverished regions, in which the terrestrial and marine ecosystems are relatively simple and extremely sensitive to perturbations. They provide an ideal ecological laboratory for studying how organisms, ecological processes and ecosystems...

Sub-Antarctic islands are classified as isolated, hostile, impoverished regions, in which the terrestrial and marine ecosystems are relatively simple and extremely sensitive to perturbations. They provide an ideal ecological laboratory for studying how organisms, ecological processes and ecosystems respond to a changing ocean climate in the Southern Ocean. 1hese islands are characterised by large populations of top predators and subsequently any changes in the oceanographic frontal dynamics associated with the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, either in the vicinity of these islands or further afield, may have strong implications on their foraging behaviour. The relatively easy accessibility of the Prince Edward Islands from South Africa and their location between the main frontal systems bordering the Antarctic Circumpolar Current enable high-resolution synoptic field studies to be undertaken. Such studies have provided information on the impact changes in the large-scale ocean dynamics have on the local marine ecosystems. |
