Activity recorders were attached to 13 Gray-headed Albatrosses (Diomedea chrysostoma) rearing chicks at South Georgia in February 1982. During foraging trips to sea totalling 284 bird-days, an average of 74% […]
Position fixes made at the British Antarctic Survey station, Halley, on the Brunt Ice Shelf are considered for the period 1968–82. These show an initial westward velocity of approximately 400 […]
Georesistivity soundings have been carried out at four sites in the Antarctic Peninsula. The objective of the work was to investigate the electrical behaviour of ice from an area where […]
Glaciological estimates of the ice supply to George VI Ice Shelf are obtained by integrating the accumulation over the catchment. The basal melt (or possible shelf thickening) rates for the […]
Data are assembled from a number of sources on several species of Procellariiformes breeding on South Georgia, covering the amount, frequency and energetic content of feeds brought to the young, […]
The relationship between isotope concentration and salinity provides important evidence on the origin of water masses. In polar regions it can be used to deduce the isotopic composition of melting […]
The ciliated protozoan Tetrahymena pyriformis has been used to study the biochemistry of cellular injury induced by rapid cooling (cold shock). Cellular viability was found to depend on the time […]
