Abstract
In the Larsemann Hills, three countries – Russia, China, and India – maintain year-round stations, while Australia operates a summer facility. These countries engage in diverse scientific research in the Larsemann Hills and the surrounding areas. The unprecedented cooperation resulted in the International Conference on Antarctic Research (ICAR) at Bharati station in 2020. Additionally, the BRICS working group on ocean and polar science and technology (OPST) has played a crucial role in fostering scientific engagements. This first volume of the special issue compiles twenty-five research findings based on data collected in the region, including presentations from ICAR-2020. Beyond showcasing international cooperation, the special issue also commemorates a decade of the Bharati station’s presence in the Larsemann Hills.
期刊介绍:
Polar Science is an international, peer-reviewed quarterly journal. It is dedicated to publishing original research articles for sciences relating to the polar regions of the Earth and other planets. Polar Science aims to cover 15 disciplines which are listed below; they cover most aspects of physical sciences, geosciences and life sciences, together with engineering and social sciences. Articles should attract the interest of broad polar science communities, and not be limited to the interests of those who work under specific research subjects. Polar Science also has an Open Archive whereby published articles are made freely available from ScienceDirect after an embargo period of 24 months from the date of publication.
