  • This dataset comprises Time-Depth Recorder (TDR) tracks for Adelie penguins, pygoscelid adeliae, at Signy Island, South Orkneys Islands, from December 2011 to January 2016 (austral summer). Adelie penguins were fitted with TDR tags at Signy Island to better understand their movement for seabird conservation and management. The data includes temperature and pressure at specified intervals for deployed tags, with additional metadata on the morphology of the birds, their deployment, and breeding. Work was carried out by personnel at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and was funded by Natural Environment Research Council (UK) core funding to BAS.

  • This dataset comprises Time-Depth Recorder (TDR) tracks for gentoo penguins, Pygoscelid papua, at Signy Island, South Orkneys Islands, from December 2011 to January 2016 (austral summer). Gentoo penguins were fitted with TDR tags at Signy Island to better understand their movement for seabird conservation and management. The data includes temperature and pressure at specified intervals for deployed tags, with additional metadata on the morphology of the birds, their deployment, and breeding. Work was carried out by personnel at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and was funded by Natural Environment Research Council (UK) core funding to BAS.

  • This dataset captures information from GPS and Time-Depth Recorder (TDR) tracking of 221 chinstrap penguins from 4 sites at the South Orkney Islands (Cape Geddes at Laurie Island, Powell Island, Monroe Island and Signy Island). Monitoring was carried out during incubation and brood between the months of December and February from 2011 to 2016. GPS data are available at 4 minute intervals whilst birds are at the sea surface and dive data every second. Tags measured birds' foraging patterns to study the relationship between breeding stage and foraging distribution. This research was supported by the Darwin Plus, WWF and the UKRI/BAS Ecosystems Programme under ALI-Science.

  • This dataset comprises Time-Depth Recorder (TDR) tracks of chinstrap penguins, Pygoscelid antarcticus, at the South Orkney Islands (Signy, Monroe, Powell and Laurie Island) from 2011 to 2019. Chinstrap penguins were fitted with TDR tags between December to January (austral summer) to better understand their movement for seabird conservation and management. The data includes temperature and pressure at specified intervals for deployed tags, with additional metadata on the morphology of the birds, their deployment, and breeding. Work was carried out by personnel at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and was funded by Natural Environment Research Council (UK) core funding to BAS. This is an updated version of a previous dataset. There have been additional tracks included with further quality control carried out.
