“…It is not just the surrounding sea shelf which has huge biological importance, but also Additionally, some 88 different bird species have been recorded, of which 30 breed on the island (Clarke et al, 2012;Black et al, 2013). South Georgia holds one of the world's most abundant and diverse seabird communities, which is why in February 2012 the South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands Marine Protected Area was created, which covers over 1 million km 2 of the highly productive waters around the island.…”

South Georgia is a small and mountainous island, located in the remote Southern Ocean. The island's subantarctic climate is controlled by its location and steep orography; with 19 peaks over 2000m and situated within a belt of strong westerly winds South Georgia acts as an effective barrier to the winds that impinge upon it.Since the 1920s, average summer temperatures have risen by ~1 o C on South Georgia.Coupled with this has been an increase in the rate of glacial retreat throughout the last century, with glaciers on the northeast leeside of the island retreating at a faster rate than those on the southwest side. These asymmetrical changes are thought to be linked with the strengthening of the westerlies. If the strength of the westerlies is sufficient, downslope winds can develop on the leeside of the island causing significant temperature increases as the descending air warms adiabatically; this is known as the föhn effect. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to investigate whether the observed asymmetric pattern of regional warming and glacier retreat are caused by the föhn warming process.To explore the link between the föhn effect and its impact on the regional climate of

“…Phoebetria palpebrata (Forster, 1785), Light-mantled Albatross, breeds in sub-Antarctic islands, such as South Georgia in the Atlantic Ocean (Thomas et al 1983, Black et al 2013 and Macquaire (Terauds and Gales 2006) and Prince Edward (Berruti 2016) in the Indian Ocean. It has a more restricted distribution, occupying the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic circumpolar region (Harrison 1983).…”

The order Procellariiformes comprises mainly oceanic species that are occasionally recorded from along the Brazilian coast. We presents the first records of Lugensa brevirostris (Lesson, 1831) (Kerguelen Petrel) and Phoebetria palpe brata (Forster, 1785) (Light-mantled Albatross) for the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Both species were recorded from the municipality of Ilha Comprida. Lugensa brevirostris was recorded on 25 May 2016 and P. palpebrata on 3 October 2016. Therefore, we add 2 important records to the Brazilian avifauna and suggest the inclusion of both species on the list of birds in São Paulo.
