1. Central place foraging by breeding Cook’s petrel Pterodroma cookii: foraging duration reflects range, diet and chick meal mass

   Pelagic seabirds are central place foragers during breeding and variation in foraging trip duration and range reflect differences in diet and chick provisioning, through the exploitation of divergent habitats of […]

2. Seasonal interactions in the black-legged kittiwake, Rissa tridactyla: links between breeding performance and winter distribution

   Relationships between events in one period of the annual cycle and behaviour in subsequent seasons are key determinants of individual life histories and population dynamics. However, studying such associations is […]

4. Understanding ice-sheet mass balance: progress in satellite altimetry and gravimetry

   Satellite remote sensing has come to dominate the measurement of glacier and ice-sheet change. Three independent methods now exist for assessing ice-sheet mass balance and we focus on progress in […]

5. Frost flowers in the laboratory: Growth, characteristics, aerosol, and the underlying sea ice

   In the laboratory, we have investigated the growth and composition of frost flowers. Their ionic composition has shown little difference from those of field measurements. Young frost flowers grown on […]

6. Ocean tides in the Weddell Sea: New observations on the Filchner-Ronne and Larsen C ice shelves and model validation

   Ocean tides under the large Weddell Sea ice shelves are among the least well observed on Earth. Here we present new, spatially extensive observations of the vertical tidal motion of […]

7. Thermal niche separation in two sympatric tropical intertidal Laternula (Bivalvia: Anomalodesmata)

   Factors determining thermal niche separation of two sympatric infaunal bivalves (Laternula truncata and L. boschasina) occurring in a Singapore mangrove were examined by comparing experienced microhabitat temperature with the thermal […]

8. Mesosphere-to-stratosphere descent of odd nitrogen in February-March 2009 after sudden stratospheric warming

   We use the 3-D FinROSE chemistry transport model (CTM) and Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment Fourier Transform Spectrometer (ACE-FTS) observations to study connections between atmospheric dynamics and middle atmospheric NOx (NOx = […]

9. Energetic electron precipitation during high-speed solar wind stream driven storms

   Electron precipitation from the Earth’s inner magnetosphere transmits solar variability to the Earth’s upper atmosphere and may affect surface level climate. Here we conduct a superposed epoch analysis of energetic […]

10. Mineral stability in peralkaline silicic rocks: information from trachytes of the Menengai volcano, Kenya

    Electron microprobe analyses are presented for phenocrysts and matrix glass in peralkaline, silica-oversaturated trachytes from the Menengai volcano, Kenya Rift Valley. The dominant phenocryst assemblage is alkali feldspar–hedenbergite–fayalite–titanomagnetite–apatite. Aenigmatite, amphibole […]

11. Reproductive ecology of the circumpolar Antarctic nemertean Parborlasia corrugatus: No evidence for inter-annual variation

    Waters around the Antarctic Peninsula are experiencing one of the fastest rates of warming seen anywhere on Earth in the sea in recent times. Species inhabiting nearshore seabed sites in […]

12. The air content of Larsen Ice Shelf

    The air content of glacial firn determines the effect and attribution of observed changes in ice surface elevation, but is currently measurable only using labor-intensive ground-based techniques. Here a novel […]
