1. Influence of the ENSO cycle on the light-fishery for Dosidicus gigas in the Peru Current: an analysis of remotely sensed data

   Dosidicus gigas (the jumbo flying squid) supports a major fishery in the eastern Pacific Ocean and exhibits large fluctuations in abundance from year to year. The commercial fishery consists of […]

2. Southern Ocean sea-ice extent, productivity and iron flux over the past eight glacial cycles

   Sea ice and dust flux increased greatly in the Southern Ocean during the last glacial period. Palaeorecords provide contradictory evidence about marine productivity in this region, but beyond one glacial […]

3. Mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet

   The Antarctic contribution to sea-level rise has long been uncertain. While regional variability in ice dynamics has been revealed, a picture of mass changes throughout the continental ice sheet is […]

4. Improved dynamic geomagnetic rigidity cutoff modeling: testing predictive accuracy

   . In the polar atmosphere, significant chemical and ionization changes occur during solar proton events (SPE). The access of solar protons to this region is limited by the dynamically changing […]

5. Late Miocene asterozoans (Echinodermata) from the James Ross Island Volcanic Group

   Asterozoans (Echinodermata) of Late Miocene age (6.02 ± 0.12 Ma) are preserved as external moulds in water-lain tuffs of the James Ross Island Volcanic Group (JRIVG), James Ross Island, Antarctic […]

6. Evidence that Early Carboniferous ostracods colonised coastal flood plain brackish water environments

   A study of the stable isotope composition (δ18O, δ13C) of biogenic (ostracod, mollusc) and authigenic carbonates in the Ballagan Formation, Lower Carboniferous of Scotland, coupled with evidence from sedimentology and […]

7. The effects of temperature on peripheral neuronal function in eurythermal and stenothermal crustaceans

   To determine whether neuronal function in Antarctic crustaceans is adapted to the low and narrow range of temperatures at which these animals live, we have compared conduction velocities in the […]

8. 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, […]

9. 20th century trends and budget implications of chloroform and related tri- and dihalomethanes inferred from firn air

   Four 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 […]

10. Predicting Solar Cycle 24 and beyond

    We 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 […]

11. Combined U-Pb geochronology and Hf isotope geochemistry of detrital zircons from early Palaeozoic sedimentary rocks, Ellsworth-Whitmore Mountains block, Antarctica.

    U-Pb detrital zircon geochronology from the upper Cambrian to Devonian part of the Ellsworth Mountains succession, Antarctica, yields dominant late Mesoproterozoic and late Neoproterozoic–Cambrian age populations that are onsistent with […]

12. Extrinsic and intrinsic determinants of winter foraging and breeding phenology in a temperate seabird

    In 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 […]
