The Moray Firth directed squid fishery
In summer 2003, the usually small directed fishery for the squid Loligo forbesi in the Moray Firth off the northeast coast of Scotland (UK) generated unusually high catches. This fishery, […]

20th century trends and budget implications of chloroform and related tri- and dihalomethanes inferred from firn air
Read more of: 20th century trends and budget implications of chloroform and related tri- and dihalomethanes inferred from firn airFour trihalomethane (THM; CHCl3, CHBrCl2, CHBr2Cl and CHBr3) and two dihalomethane (DHM; CH2BrCl and CH2Br2) trace gases have been measured in air extracted from polar firn collected at the North […]

Predicting Solar Cycle 24 and beyond
Read more of: Predicting Solar Cycle 24 and beyondWe use a model for sunspot number using low-frequency solar oscillations, with periods 22, 53, 88, 106, 213, and 420 years modulating the 11-year Schwabe cycle, to predict the peak […]

Extrinsic and intrinsic determinants of winter foraging and breeding phenology in a temperate seabird
Read more of: Extrinsic and intrinsic determinants of winter foraging and breeding phenology in a temperate seabirdIn temperate regions, winter presents animals with a number of challenges including depressed food abundance, increased daily energy requirements, higher frequency of extreme weather events and shortened day length. Overcoming […]

Supercooling point frequency distributions in Collembola are affected by moulting
Read more of: Supercooling point frequency distributions in Collembola are affected by moulting1. Many arthropods depress the freezing point of their body fluids (supercool) to avoid freezing at subzero temperatures. This is normally a seasonal response and is achieved by the production […]

Determining prey distribution patterns from stomach-contents of satellite-tracked high-predators of the Southern Ocean
Read more of: Determining prey distribution patterns from stomach-contents of satellite-tracked high-predators of the Southern OceanAbstract The distribution of many cephalopod, crustacean and fish species in the Southern Ocean, and adjacent waters, is poorly known, particularly during times of the year when research surveys are […]

Ice draft and current measurements from the north-western Barents Sea, 1993-96
Read more of: Ice draft and current measurements from the north-western Barents Sea, 1993-96From 1993 to 1996, three oceanographic moorings were deployed in the north-western Barents Sea, each with a current meter and an upward-looking sonar for measuring ice drafts. These yielded three […]

Measurements beneath an Antarctic ice shelf using an autonomous underwater vehicle
Read more of: Measurements beneath an Antarctic ice shelf using an autonomous underwater vehicleThe cavities beneath Antarctic ice shelves are among the least studied regions of the World Ocean, yet they are sites of globally important water mass transformations. Here we report results […]
