Antarctic Observatory System
The document discusses various tools and resources available for researching Antarctic biodiversity, including the Antarctic Biodiversity Portal and R packages like atlasr and biotaxa. It highlights collaborative efforts among multiple national programs and contributors for analyzing tracking data of Antarctic species. Additionally, it introduces Quantarctica, a GIS for Antarctic research, and emphasizes the importance of data quality and metadata for scientific work.

Editor's Notes
- #12 Biotaxa is a analytical and visualisation tool to explain and predict the discovery of taxonomic diversity. It looks at (1) how well a model can plan the growth of taxonomic diversity in a region, (2) how confident one can be in explaining the growth of the taxonomic diversity, (3) what would be the likely gaps of taxonomic diversity. Users can harness the power of the provided functions to estimate the taxonomic diversity they are interested in a region.
- #17 SOOS is an international initiative with the mission to facilitate the collection and delivery of essential observations on dynamics and change of Southern Ocean systems to all international stakeholders (researchers, governments, industries), through design, advocacy and implementation of cost-effective observing and data delivery systems. The Antarctic Biodiversity portal advises on key datasets to contribute to SOOSmap and on data flows towards SOOSmap (through OBIS).
