With the warming of the Southern Ocean, due to anthropogenic climate change, the close relationship between highly seasonal rhythms of the polar environment (food availability, day length

Over the next few decades, anthropogenic climate change and the resultant changes in the global water cycle will produce a significant rise in drought frequency in the
