We use autonomous gas measurements to examine the metabolic balance (photosynthesis
minus respiration) of coastal Antarctic waters during the spring/summer growth season. Our observations
capture the development of a massive phytoplankton bloom and reveal striking variability in pCO₂ and
biological oxygen saturation (ΔO₂/Ar) resulting from large shifts in community metabolism...

The West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) is home to large breeding colonies of the ice-dependent Antarctic Adélie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae). Although the entire inner continental shelf is highly productive, with abundant phytoplankton and krill populations, penguin colonies are distributed heterogeneously along the WAP (Ducklow et al., 2013, in this issue). This ecological...
