A simple model of the vertical distribution of electron concentration in the ionosphere
1 January, 1973
An idealized model of the vertical distribution of the electron concentration in the E- and F-regions of the ionosphere is developed in which the model parameters are given by simple…Read more on A simple model of the vertical distribution of electron concentration in the ionosphere
Deep-water mosses in Antarctic lakes
1 January, 1973
Mosses are generally considered to be land plants although a few species are found growing submerged in streams and shallow areas of lakes. But there is now increasing evidence that…Estimates of lichen growth rates in the maritime Antarctic
1 January, 1973
Using growth rates estimated from lichens growing on introduced substrata on Signy Island, South Orkney Islands (lat. 61 °S., long. 45 °W.), the two most recent moraines of a glacier…Read more on Estimates of lichen growth rates in the maritime Antarctic
Effects of a sucrose-free diet on the serum-lipid levels of men in Antarctica
1 January, 1973
Eighteen healthy young men on an Antarctic base were observed for 10 months. For a baseline period of 4 weeks they received a normal diet, then they were put on…Read more on Effects of a sucrose-free diet on the serum-lipid levels of men in Antarctica
The creep of ice shelves theory
1 January, 1973
Budd’s expressions for strain-rate gradient along the centre line of a bounded ice shelf are shown to be applicable only to ice shelves with almost constant thickness and very small…The creep of ice shelves: interpretation of observed behaviour
1 January, 1973
Available measurements of creep rates and dimensions of ice shelves are used, in conjunction with equations derived in a companion paper (Thomas, 1973), to evaluate the flow law parameters B…Read more on The creep of ice shelves: interpretation of observed behaviour
The geology of Powell, Christoffersen and Michelsen Islands, South Orkney Islands
1 January, 1973
Available measurements of creep rates and dimensions of ice shelves are used, in conjunction with equations derived in a companion paper (Thomas, 1973), to evaluate the flow law parameters B…Read more on The geology of Powell, Christoffersen and Michelsen Islands, South Orkney Islands
The geology of the Falkland Islands
1 January, 1972
This was published with two map sheets (ref DOS 1185A & 1185B), which are included as separate TIFF files, and with a 21-page gazetteer, which has been scanned as part…The bacteria in an Antarctic peat
1 January, 1972
Of a total of 119 strains of bacteria from 3 depths in an acid peat on Signy Island, S. Orkney, 52% belonged to the genus Brevibacterium. Twelve other genera were…
