Microbial community dynamics and enzyme activity of an Antarctic fellfield soil during the austral summer
1 January, 1993
Microbial and enzymatic activities were measured during the 49-day austral summer of 1991 in two fellfield soil polygons (WW-5 and WW-18) at Signy I. In 0-2.5 cm cores, microbial counts…Controls on sedimentation at convergent plate-margins
1 January, 1993
Convergent margins are areas of geological complexity. Basins which occur in the same position relative to a volcanic arc may owe their origin to more than one process of formation.…Read more on Controls on sedimentation at convergent plate-margins
Coats Land dolerites and the generation of Antarctic continental flood basalts
1 January, 1992
On the basis of geochemical signatures, Mesozoic magmatism in Antarctica is divided into the Ferrar Magmatic Province and the Dronning Maud Land Province. The tholeiitic magmatism of the Ferrar Magmatic…Read more on Coats Land dolerites and the generation of Antarctic continental flood basalts
Biology of living brachiopods
1 January, 1992 by Lloyd Peck
This chapter describes the biology of living brachiopods. The Brachiopoda are significant components of the early Cambrian marine Faunas and are therefore one of the few phyla to be represented…The potential for Cretaceous coal in Antarctica
1 January, 1992 by Jane Francis
Cretaceous sediments in the Antarctic have yielded diverse fossil floras, and a few occurrences of thin coal have been described. Their presence illustrates that the climate was favorable for plant…Read more on The potential for Cretaceous coal in Antarctica
the granites of northern Patagonia and the Gastre Fault System in relation to the break -up of Gondwana
1 January, 1992
The transcurrent Gastre Fault System in central Patagonia, which is closely associated with subvolcanic granite emplacement, is recognized as a major dextral shear-zone and geological boundary. We propose its equivalence…Geochemical control on the evolutionary history of the Ballantrae Complex, SW Scotland, from comparisons with recent analogues
1 January, 1992
A combination of geochemical and field investigations of the Ballantrae Complex allows some control on the relative timing of events in its tectono-magmatic history. In particular, the presence of boninitic…
