Abstract

Abstract Antarctic and Southern Ocean environments are facing increasing pressure from multiple threats. The Antarctic Treaty System regularly looks to the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) for the provision of independent and objective advice based on the best available science to support decision-making, policy development and effective environmental management. The recently approved SCAR Scientific Research Programme Ant-ICON - ‘Integrated Science to Inform Antarctic and Southern Ocean Conservation‘ - facilitates and coordinates high-quality transdisciplinary research to inform the conservation and management of Antarctica, the Southern Ocean and the sub-Antarctic in the context of current and future impacts. The work of Ant-ICON focuses on three research themes examining 1) the current state and future projections of Antarctic systems, species and functions, 2) human impacts and sustainability and 3) socio-ecological approaches to Antarctic and Southern Ocean conservation, and one synthesis theme that seeks to facilitate the provision of timely scientific advice to support effective Antarctic conservation. Research outputs will address the most pressing environmental challenges facing Antarctica and offer high-quality science to policy and advisory bodies including the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting, the Committee for Environmental Protection and the Scientific Committee of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources.

Ant ICON-“为南极和南大洋保护提供信息的综合科学”：一个新的SCAR科学研究计划

摘要南极和南大洋环境正面临着来自多种威胁的越来越大的压力。南极条约体系定期向南极研究科学委员会寻求在现有最佳科学基础上提供独立和客观的咨询意见，以支持决策、政策制定和有效的环境管理。最近批准的SCAR科学研究计划Ant ICON——“为南极和南大洋保护提供信息的综合科学”——促进和协调高质量的跨学科研究，为当前和未来影响下的南极、南大洋和亚南极的保护和管理提供信息。Ant ICON的工作重点关注三个研究主题：1）南极系统、物种和功能的现状和未来预测，2）人类影响和可持续性，3）南极和南大洋保护的社会生态方法，以及一个综合主题，旨在促进及时提供科学咨询，以支持有效的南极保护。研究成果将解决南极洲面临的最紧迫的环境挑战，并为包括《南极条约》协商会议、环境保护委员会和南极海洋生物资源保护委员会科学委员会在内的政策和咨询机构提供高质量的科学。

期刊介绍： Antarctic Science provides a truly international forum for the broad spread of studies that increasingly characterise scientific research in the Antarctic. Whilst emphasising interdisciplinary work, the journal publishes papers from environmental management to biodiversity, from volcanoes to icebergs, and from oceanography to the upper atmosphere. No other journal covers such a wide range of Antarctic scientific studies. The journal attracts papers from all countries currently undertaking Antarctic research. It publishes both review and data papers with no limits on length, two-page short notes on technical developments and recent discoveries, and book reviews. These, together with an editorial discussing broader aspects of science, provide a rich and varied mixture of items to interest researchers in all areas of science. There are no page charges, or charges for colour, to authors publishing in the Journal. One issue each year is normally devoted to a specific theme or papers from a major meeting.
