Abstract
This article carried out the first scientometric and spatial analysis of Brazilian scientific production on Antarctic soils and permafrost, based on all publications available from the Scopus and Web of Science databases. Information on co-authorship, citation, research topics, and sampling sites was used to understand the social and theoretical structure as well as the spatial dynamics of this research field in Brazil over the last 25 years. We highlight that Brazil is presently, the main country to study the soils and permafrost of Maritime Antarctica, in addition to having an international robust and prolific production, with high impact on the literature, and widely distributed throughout the studied region. It was also possible to identify potential future international partners, new research locations and strategic research themes.
