1. Contribution of giant icebergs to the Southern Ocean freshwater flux

   In the period 1979–2003 the mass of “giant” icebergs (icebergs larger than 18.5 km in length) calving from Antarctica averaged 1089 ± 300 Gt yr−1 of ice, under half the […]

2. Limnology of two Antarctic epishelf lakes and their potential to record periods of ice shelf loss

   George VI Ice Shelf is the largest ice shelf on the western side of the Antarctic Peninsula and its northern margin marks the southern most latitudinal limit of recent ice […]

3. Antarctic benthic foraminfera facilitate rapid cycling of phytoplankton-derived organic carbon

   Fatty acid biomarker analyses of Cassidulina crassa, a dominant calcareous foraminieran at 55-m water depth in Arthur Harbor, Anvers Island (64°46′S, 64°04′W), Antarctica, revealed that this species responds rapidly to […]

4. Ozone profiles in the high-latitude stratosphere and lower mesosphere measured by the Improved Limb Atmospheric Spectrometer (ILAS)-II: comparison with other satellite sensors and ozonesondes

   A solar occultation sensor, the Improved Limb Atmospheric Spectrometer (ILAS)-II, measured 5890 vertical profiles of ozone concentrations in the stratosphere and lower mesosphere and of other species from January to […]

5. Experimental study on the effect of diet on fatty acid and stable isotope profiles of the squid Lolliguncula brevis

   Fatty acid and stable isotope analyses have previously been used to investigate foraging patterns of fish, birds, marine mammals and most recently cephalopod species. To evaluate the application of these […]

6. A novel joint space-wavenumber analysis of an unusual Antarctic gravity wave event

   As part of a collaborative research program between British Antarctic Survey, U.K. and Utah State University, USA, all sky airglow images were recorded at Halley Station Antarctica (75.5 S, 26.7 […]

7. Subglacial and ice-contact volcanism at the Oraefajokull stratovolcano, Iceland

   Eruptions of Öræfajökull have produced mafic and silicic magmas, and have taken place in both glacial and interglacial periods. The geology of the volcano records the differing response of magmas […]

8. High altitude Antarctic soil propagule bank yields an exotic moss and potential colonist

   Soil samples from the summit of Coulman Island in northern Victoria Land, continental Antarctica (lat. 73o28’S, 169o45’E) were cultured and after nine weeks they have yeilded sterile shoots of a […]

9. Mitigation of seabird mortality on factory trawlers: trials of three devices to reduce warp cable strikes

   Experimental trials were conducted onboard a stern trawler to identify the relative efficacy of three emerging mitigation measures (tori lines, warp scarer and Brady baffler) designed to reduce seabird mortality […]

10. Organochlorine contaminant and retinoid levels in blubber of common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) off northwestern Spain

    The effect of age, sex, nutritive condition and organochlorine concentration on blubber retinoid concentrations was examined in 74 common dolphins incidentally caught off northwestern Spain. Age and blubber lipid content […]

11. Sewage effects on food sources and diet of benthic foraminifera living in oxic sediment: a microcosm experiment

    A microcosm experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of sewage-derived particulate organic matter (POM) on the food sources and diets of two species of intertidal benthic foraminifera, Ammonia beccarii […]
