Tropical estuaries often have a low buffering capacity and may experience acidification, both naturally through microbial degradation and run-off from acid sulphate soils (ASS), or from various anthropogenic sources. Here, […]
Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is a crucial component of the Southern Ocean ecosystem, acting as the major link between primary production and higher trophic levels with an annual predator demand […]
Thurston Island, and the adjacent Eights Coast and Jones Mountains, record Pacific margin magmatism from Carboniferous to Late Cretaceous times. The igneous rocks form a uniformly calc-alkaline, high-alumina, dominantly metaluminous […]
The outer shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula Pacific margin south of 63°30′S is underlain by Pliocene-Pleistocene prograding sequences which have been produced mainly by the action of ice sheets grounded […]
We analyze ionospheric convection patterns over the polar regions during the passage of an interplanetary magnetic cloud on January 14, 1988, when the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) rotated slowly in […]
Simple models are used to assess the factors controlling near-surface winds over an Antarctic ice shelf. Observations from Halley Station and an automatic weather station situated close to the coastal […]
An alternative seismic source was investigated in an experiment conducted near Rothera Station, Antarctic Peninsula. The source was an airgun fired above the snow surface. Comparison shots using explosive and […]
The question is posed: “what limits the presence, distribution, and abundance of life in Antarctica?” Traditionally, continental isolation has been considered to restrict the arrival of new species and extreme […]
The effect of low temperatures and freeze-thaw stress on photosynthetic carbon exchange in an Antarctic population of the turf-forming moss species Polytrichum alpestre Hoppe was investigated using infra-red gas analysis. […]
