THE tectonic fabric of the sea floor created at spreading ridges generally curves in the direction of ridge offset near transform faults, owing to the influence of shearing stress on […]
Precise measurements of spreading rates on marine magnetic profiles collected to the west of the Antarctic Peninsula have enabled some consideration of the forces governing plate motion, since Antarctic—Phoenix motion […]
The Antarctic Peninsula was a magmatic arc subducting Pacific Ocean floor throughout the Mesozoic. During the Cenozoic, subduction ceased at each of a series of ridge‐crest–trench collisions, which migrated northeast […]
During three days of quiet geomagnetic conditions in August 1988, both the EISCAT UHF radar and the NOAA digital ionospheric sounder (Dynasonde) were operated from 12:00 to 22:00 U.T. Sporadic-E […]
The British Antarctic Survey has commenced a programme of multichannel seismic reflection work over the Antarctic continental ice sheet and surrounding ice shelves. This is part of an integrated geophysical […]
Ground‐based measurements of stratospheric slant column NO2 amounts made at Halley Bay, Antarctica in 1987 are compared with ozone and temperature profiles from balloon‐borne sondes. Sunrise‐to‐sunset (am/pm) ratios of NO2 […]
The bivalve Aulacomyella is described formally from Tithonian deposits of the Antarctic Peninsula region for the first time. Two species are recognized. A. willeyi Kelly sp. nov. was collected in […]
During winter 1989 at South Georgia, gentoo penguins showed a very rapid change in diet over a 10-day period. On 11-12 July, food samples were of low masses (150g) and […]
