Problems in the identification of anthropogenic hydrocarbons against natural background levels in the Antarctic
Read more of: Problems in the identification of anthropogenic hydrocarbons against natural background levels in the AntarcticHydrocarbons in the environment occur as complex mixtures. The detection of low-level anthropogenic contamination can be difficult as many of the compounds can also be found in biogenic materials. Results […]

The origin of the Southern Ocean marine fauna
Read more of: The origin of the Southern Ocean marine faunaCurrent knowledge of the break-up of Gondwana during the Tertiary indicates that shallow water marine habitats may have been present continuously, and on occasions were considerably more extensive than at […]
