November Update: Marine Protection, Observing Systems, and the 2027 Fellowship

Two Antarctic briefings have been revised, and the Fellowship page now includes the published schedule for the next award. Together, these changes follow the work from evidence and institutional decisions to practical research support.

Marine protection requires an adopted decision

Polar Ecosystems adds the reported outcome of the 2026 CCAMLR negotiations. The section identifies its source and separates Krigsvold's policy assessment from the account of the meeting.

A satellite transition needs a usable record

Research and Response documents the end of Suomi NPP data delivery and the designated successor services. The revision examines continuity across platforms and links NOAA's confirmation.

The next Fellowship cycle

The 2027 application schedule is now available on the Fellowship page, with a link to Westarctica's controlling program information. Applications are not yet open.

The Annual Record records these updates without changing the number of awards or formal positions. Separate heraldic corrections are listed in the Corrections record.
