Instituto de Biodiversidad de Ecosistemas Antárticos y Subantárticos (BASE)

GBIF publisher since
6 April 2022

Description

The Institute of Biodiversity of Antarctic and Subantarctic (BASE) funded by Chilean Millennium Initiative develops high-level scientific research to understand and predict the effects of climate change on Antarctic and Subantarctic biodiversity (ASA). BASE Institute aims to (1) understand how past climate changes drove the evolution and shaped ASA biogeography, (2) forecast the fate of ASA biodiversity by evaluating shifts in native species distributions and extinction risks, as well the establishment of exotic species, (3) improve the knowledge on ASA biodiversity and implement long-term biodiversity observatories across marine, terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems, and (4) integrate advanced knowledge of ASA biodiversity, contributing with science for decision making in conservation practices and Antarctic governance. BASE Institute includes researchers from nine national institutions and three whose expertise encompasses a vast range of organisms, such as microorganisms, plankton, lichens, algae, plants, mollusks, echinoderms, insects, fishes, birds, and marine mammals. BASE Institute includes gender equality as an unalterable principle and will host, guide, and train students and young researchers who will become the next generation of ASA scientists.
