Penguins are a key predator and indicate how the southern ocean ecosystem is adapting to climate change.
The Penguin Science team is using a 45,000-year record of bones and eggshells preserved in the Antarctic ice—along with data from 15 years of banding live Adélies—to decipher how the species is adapting today.
Earth's atmosphere is stable and predictable in Antarctica because it sits right at the pole - giant balloons can be deployed from Antractica to watch stars usually concealed by the atmosphere at sea level and the balloons can circle the continent and land close to their launch point.
Understanding how energy from the Sun affects the Earth's atmosphere and whether solar storms will damage satellites.
