Signy Island camera image files of sea-ice coverage for 2004; played as a movie.

The South Orkney Fast-Ice series (SOFI) is an annual record of the timing of formation and breakout of fast-ice in a bay in the South Orkney Islands on the Scotia Arc in the northern Weddell Sea, Antarctica.

This dataset contains the imagery for two time-lapse cameras installed at two Adelie penguin colonies, Pygoscelid adeliae, around Signy Island. The camera imagery are used to monitor nest attendance of Adelie penguins at Signy. These cameras passively record colony attendance by taking automatic images each day, at a minimum of twice daily throughout each year. This dataset includes imagery for the years 2011-2022. This dataset is part of a larger network of time-lapse cameras monitoring seabirds on Signy Island. This monitoring contributes to the CCAMLR Ecosystem Monitoring Program (CEMP) and is part of the annual seabird Long Term Monitoring Science carried out by the British Antarctic Survey at Signy Island. This work was funded by Natural Environment Research Council (UK) core funding to the British Antarctic Survey.

This dataset contains the imagery from a time-lapse camera installed at a gentoo penguin colony, Pygoscelid papua, around Signy Island. The camera imagery are used to monitor nest attendance of gentoo penguins at Signy. These cameras passively record colony attendance by taking automatic images each day, at a minimum of twice daily throughout each year. This dataset includes imagery for the years 2016-2022. This dataset is part of a larger network of time-lapse cameras monitoring seabirds on Signy Island. This monitoring contributes to the CCAMLR Ecosystem Monitoring Program (CEMP) and is part of the annual seabird Long Term Monitoring Science carried out by the British Antarctic Survey at Signy Island.

This dataset contains the imagery from a time-lapse camera installed at a South Georgia shag, Leucocarbo georgianus, colony at Signy Island. The camera imagery are used to monitor nest attendance of South Georgia shags at Signy. These cameras passively record colony attendance by taking automatic images each day, at a minimum of twice daily throughout each year. This dataset includes imagery for the years 2022-2022. This dataset is part of a larger network of time-lapse cameras monitoring seabirds on Signy Island. This monitoring contributes to the CCAMLR Ecosystem Monitoring Program (CEMP) and is part of the annual seabird Long Term Monitoring Science carried out by the British Antarctic Survey at Signy Island.

This dataset contains the imagery for one time-lapse camera installed at a Southern giant petrel, Macronectes giganteus, colony at Signy Island. The camera imagery are used to monitor nest attendance of Southern giant petrels at Signy. These cameras passively record colony attendance by taking automatic images each day, at a minimum of twice daily throughout each year. This dataset includes imagery for the years 2016-2022. This dataset is part of a larger network of time-lapse cameras monitoring seabirds on Signy Island.

This dataset contains the imagery for two time-lapse cameras installed at two chinstrap penguin colonies, Pygoscelid antarcticus, around Signy Island. The camera imagery are used to monitor nest attendance of chinstrap penguins at Signy. These cameras passively record colony attendance by taking automatic images each day, throughout each year. This dataset includes imagery for the years 2015-2022. This dataset is part of a larger network of time-lapse cameras monitoring seabirds on Signy Island. This monitoring contributes to the CCAMLR Ecosystem Monitoring Program (CEMP) and is part of the annual seabird Long Term Monitoring Science carried out by the British Antarctic Survey at Signy Island. This work was funded by Natural Environment Research Council (UK) core funding to the British Antarctic Survey.

This dataset comprises data on the water content of various terrestrial invertebrates on Signy Island, from 1984 to 1996. Species include native mites (Gamasellus racovitzai, Halozetes belgicae, Alaskozetes antarcticus, Stereotydeus villosus), springtails (Archisotoma brucei, Parisotoma (now Folsomotoma) octooculata, Cryptopygus antarcticus) and the non-native midge (Eretmoptera murphyi). Live samples were collected monthly at Bernsten Point, Elephant Flats, Gourlay Peninsula and Factory Bluff over both the summer and winter season. This data were collected as part of a long-term monitoring programme on terrestrial habitats in the maritime Antarctic. This dataset was supported with NERC core funding to BAS.

Beached marine debris has been monitored on Signy Island since 1991. Data collection was carried out during summer months across three sites on the island: Foca Cove, Cummings Cove and Starfish Cove. This dataset summarises the amount of beached debris from monthly surveys by mass and type, with additional descriptions available. This monitoring contributes to the CCAMLR (Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources) Marine debris program and is part of the long-term monitoring carried out by the British Antarctic Survey at Signy Island.
