1. The biodiversity of the deep Southern Ocean benthos

   Our knowledge of the biodiversity of the Southern Ocean (SO) deep benthos is scarce. In this review, we describe the general biodiversity patterns of meio-, macro- and megafaunal taxa, based […]

2. Are Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet grounding events manifest in sedimentary cycles on the adjacent continental rise?

   The direct record of Late Miocene–Early Pliocene Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet expansions from a previously published seismostratigraphic study of the outer shelf at Ocean Drilling Program Site 1097 is compared […]

3. Life in the fast lane: The free-ranging activity, heart rate and metabolism of an Antarctic fish tracked in temperate waters

   The fish species Notothenia angustata inhabits temperate waters (10 °C), yet retains physiological traits that show it once existed at sub-zero temperatures. We determined the free-ranging activity, heart rate and […]

4. Quasi-biennial modulation of the semidiurnal tide in the upper mesosphere above Halley, Antarctica

   We present an analysis of a long-term archive of horizontal wind data derived from meteor wind observations from a SuperDARN radar at Halley, Antarctica (76S, 27W). Systematic differences between the […]

5. Ice core records as sea ice proxies: An evaluation from the Weddell Sea region of Antarctica

   Ice core records of methanesulfonic acid (MSA) from three sites around the Weddell Sea are investigated for their potential as sea ice proxies. It is found that the amount of […]

6. Results from the implementation of the Elastic Viscous Plastic sea ice rheology in HadCM3

   We present results of an implementation of the Elastic Viscous Plastic (EVP) sea ice dynamics scheme into the Hadley Centre coupled ocean-atmosphere climate model HadCM3. Although the large-scale simulation of […]

7. Investigating the turbulent structure of ionospheric plasma velocities on open and closed magnetic field lines

   In this paper we review some recent work investigating the turbulent structure of the ionospheric plasma velocity in the polar and auroral regions. The studies make use of spatially distributed […]

8. Half-century seasonal relationships between the Southern Annular Mode and Antarctic temperatures

   In this short communication we examine the relationship between the Southern Hemisphere Annular Mode (SAM) and Antarctic near-surface temperatures using data from Antarctic stations for 1957-2004. This near half-century period […]

9. Taking issue with PPARC over STP

   Following the PPARC programmatic review announced in the spring of last year, with its gloomy outlook for solar–terrestrial physics, three young scientists in the field mobilized the junior members of […]

10. A decade of the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN): scientific achievements, new techniques and future directions

    The Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) has been operating as an international co-operative organisation for over 10 years. The network has now grown so that the fields of view […]

11. Assessment of Calanus finmarchicus growth and dormancy using the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases method

    We obtained growth rates of the copepod Calanus finmarchicus at different locations across the North Atlantic between May 1998 and June 2004. Animals were incubated for 2–9 days and fed […]

12. The type material of the Miocene to Recent species of Globigerinoides sacculifer (Brady) revisited

    The detailed test morphology of the type suite of Globigerinoides sacculifer (Brady) is illustrated for the first time since the species was identified in 1877. Fossil representatives of this species […]
