Recrystallisation and electrical behaviour of glacier ice
Read more of: Recrystallisation and electrical behaviour of glacier iceElectrical d.c. resistivity measurements made on the George VI Ice Shelf have established the polar nature of Antarctic ice despite saturation by melt-water from surface melt-lakes. Previously it has been […]

Consistently dated Atlantic sediment cores over the last 40 thousand years
Read more of: Consistently dated Atlantic sediment cores over the last 40 thousand yearsRapid changes in ocean circulation and climate have been observed in marine-sediment and ice cores over the last glacial period and deglaciation, highlighting the non-linear character of the climate system […]

The food and feeding ecology of grey-headed albatross Diomedea chrysostoma and black-browed albatross D. Melanophris
Read more of: The food and feeding ecology of grey-headed albatross Diomedea chrysostoma and black-browed albatross D. MelanophrisThe food and feeding ecology of Black‐browed Albatrosses and Grey‐headed Albatrosses was studied from 1975 to 1978 at Bird Island, South Georgia. Two hundred and seventy food samples (averaging 75–85 […]

The production ecology of benthic plants in some Antarctic lakes: I. In situ production studies
Read more of: The production ecology of benthic plants in some Antarctic lakes: I. In situ production studies(1) The vegetation of three oligotrophic lakes on Signy Island (Antarctica) is dominated by benthic algal felts and aquatic mosses, and the phytoplankton is sparse. Five seasonal factors affect underwater […]

Evolution of Antarctic lake ecosystems
Read more of: Evolution of Antarctic lake ecosystemsAntarctic lakes present a wide variety of physical, chemical and biological conditions, and are not always the simplified systems imagined by earlier workers. The volume of data on lakes of […]
