1. Low temperature bioremediation of oil-contaminated soil using biostimulation and bioaugmentation with a Pseudomonas sp. from maritime Antarctica

   Aims: To identify native Antarctic bacteria capable of oil degradation at low temperatures. Methods and Results: Oil contaminated and pristine soils from Signy Island (South Orkney Islands, Antarctica) were examined […]

2. Investigating the use of milk fatty acids to detect dietary changes: a comparison with faecal analysis in Antarctic fur seals

   We compared the use of fatty acid signature analysis with results from traditional faecal methods using milk samples and enemas concurrently collected from 8 female Antarctic fur seals Arctocephalus gazella […]

3. Genetic population structure in the black-spot sea bream (Pagellus bogaraveo Brünnich, 1768) from the NE Atlantic

   The depletion of shallow-water fish stocks through overexploitation has led to increasing fishing pressure on deep-sea species. Poor knowledge of the biology of commercially valuable deep-water fish has led to […]

4. On the origin of Antarctic marine benthic community structure

   Environmental conditions fostering marine communities around Antarctica differ fundamentally from those in the rest of the world’s oceans, particularly in terms of pronounced climatic fluctuations and extreme cold. Here, we […]

6. The role of Antarctica in the development of plate tectonic theories: from Scott to the present

   One hundred years of geological research in and around Antarctica since Scott’s Discovery expedition of 1901-1904 have seen the continent move from a great unknown at the margins of human […]

7. Annual variation in diets, feeding locations and foraging behaviour of gannets in the North Sea: flexibility, consistency and constraint

   Many seabirds nesting in areas bordering the North Sea have recently experienced large annual variation in breeding success, including reproductive failures in some cases. In contrast, the breeding success of […]

8. Large solar flares and their ionospheric D region enhancements

   On 4 November 2003, the largest solar flare ever recorded saturated the GOES satellite X-ray detectors, making an assessment of its size difficult. However, VLF radio phase advances effectively recorded […]

9. Timescale for MeV electron microburst loss during geomagnetic storms

   Energetic electrons in the outer radiation belt can resonate with intense bursts of whistler-mode chorus emission leading to microburst precipitation into the atmosphere. The timescale for removal of outer zone […]

10. Comparison of two time-variant forced eddy-permitting global ocean circulation models with hydrography of the Scotia Sea

    A comparison between hydrographic observations and output from two realistically forced z-level global ocean circulation models (OCCAM and POCM_4C) in the Scotia Sea, South Atlantic, is described. The study region […]

11. Influx of meltwater to subglacial Lake Concordia, East Antarctica

    We present evidence for melting at the base of the ice that overlies Lake Concordia, an 800 km2 subglacial lake near Dome Concordia, East Antarctica, via a combination of glaciohydraulic […]

12. Effect of organochlorine contaminants and individual biological traits on blubber retinoid concentrations in bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus)

    Here we assessed retinoids as biomarkers of contaminant exposure by studying whether the sex, age, lipid content and organochlorine concentrations of bottlenose dolphins induced variation in retinoid status and its […]
