Atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation liquid chromatography/multistage mass spectrometry for assignment of sedimentary bacteriochlorophyll derivatives
Read more of: Atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation liquid chromatography/multistage mass spectrometry for assignment of sedimentary bacteriochlorophyll derivativesAtmospheric pressure chemical ionisation liquid chromatography/multistage mass spectrometry (APCI-LC/MSn) provides a rapid, on-line method for the assignment of individual bacteriophaeophorbide c and d methyl esters (BPMEs) in complex mixtures. The […]

Frozen in time
Read more of: Frozen in timeStudying ice chemistry may not sound very exciting – after all, isn’t ice just frozen water? Almost true, but glaciers and ice sheets, along with snow, contain traces of everything […]

The European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica
Read more of: The European Project for Ice Coring in AntarcticaIce cores have provided many of the key pieces of evidence about past changes in climate and in forcing factors for climate. In particular, the core from Vostok (Antarctica) shows […]

Signal variability in replicate ice cores
Read more of: Signal variability in replicate ice coresReplicate ice cores have been drilled about 10 m apart for the top 790 m of the ice sheet at Dome C, Antarctica. This provides an opportunity to examine inter-core […]

Factors that influence freezing in the sub-Antarctic springtail Tullbergia antarctica
Read more of: Factors that influence freezing in the sub-Antarctic springtail Tullbergia antarcticaEffects of 12 biotic and abiotic factors on the freezing point of the sub-Antarctic springtail, Tullbergia antarctica, were investigated. Repeated cooling of individual springtails five times resulted in very similar […]

Boluses: an effective method for assessing the proportions of cephalopods in the diet of albatrosses
Read more of: Boluses: an effective method for assessing the proportions of cephalopods in the diet of albatrossesThe method of collecting and analyzing boluses to characterize the cephalopod diet of albatrosses has been used in many diet studies. However, no study has validated this method. We compared […]

Climatically driven fluctuations in Southern Ocean ecosystems
Read more of: Climatically driven fluctuations in Southern Ocean ecosystemsDetermining how climate fluctuations affect ocean ecosystems requires an understanding of how biological and physical processes interact across a wide range of scales. Here we examine the role of physical […]
