1. Dissipation of tidal energy by Antarctic ice shelves

   FLEXING of ice shelves may dissipate enough tidal energy to have a significant effect on the Moon’s retreat from the Earth. It is generally agreed that tidal friction slows the […]

3. Theoretical models for interpreting the dielectric behaviour of HF-doped ice

   To understand the recent dielectric measurements made on HF-doped ice single crystals requires a full knowledge of the concentration of electrical defects present in ice and their subsequent interactions. Previous […]

4. The effect of induced currents in the sea on magnetic bays observed at a coastal observatory

   It is widely accepted that return currents from the auroral electrojet are responsible for the magnetic bays in the D component. The different directions of the return currents, at either […]

5. Man’s impact on seals

   The major direct effects of man on seal populations are caused by hunting. Subsistence hunting using traditional methods has a long history and generally resulted in a balance between the […]

7. Metabolic adaptations of antarctic terrestrial micro-arthropods

   1. 1. Comparative analyses of standard metabolism, as measured by weight specific oxygen consumption, for Antarctic and temperate terrestrial Acari show that polar forms of the Cryptostigmata and Mesostigmata exhibit […]

8. Oxygen Uptake by Cryptopygus antarcticus (Collembola) at South Georgia

   Determinations of oxygen uptake of size classes I, II, III and IV of the collembolan Cryptopygus antarcticus Willem at +5°, +10° and +20°C were made at South Georgia, sub-Antarctic. The […]

9. Cambridge University Vatnajökull Expedition, 1977

   This expedition to Iceland was concerned with ice depth soundings of the largest ice cap in Europe and involved both the development of impulse radar systems and the use of […]

10. Geochemistry and petrogenesis of the early Tertiary lava pile of the Isle of Mull, Scotland

    Major and trace element analyses and strontium isotope ratios are presented for twenty-four samples of lavas and plugs from the early Tertiary lava pile in Mull. The samples were selected […]

12. Spontaneous and bile salt stimulated bile secretion in the Adelie penguin (Pygoscelis adeliae)

    The flow rate and ionic composition of bile during spontaneous secretion were measured in anaesthetized penguins in which the enterohepatic circulation had been interrupted and with i.v. injection of saline […]
