1. Capture and scanning electron microscopy of individual snow crystals

   A snow crystal has been successfully collected on to a scanning electron microscope (SEM) stub in central Greenland. It was preserved at liquid-nitrogen temperature for 5 months, prior to examination […]

3. Structural setting and timing of hydrothermal veins and breccias on Hurd Peninsula, South Shetland Islands: a possible volcanic-related epithermal system in deformed turbidites

   Quartz veins and vein-breccias in a greywacke-shale sequence of ?Carboniferous-Triassic age were previously regarded as mesothermal silicified fault breccias, and related to an adjacent Eocene granodiorite pluton. New mapping of […]

4. Distribution and abundance of seabirds and fur seals near the Antarctic Peninsula during the austral winter, 1986

   Twenty one species of seabirds plus fur seals were observed at sea near the Antarctic Peninsula, between 60 °–68 °S, in May and June 1986, a season for which few […]

5. Geochronology and radiogenic isotope geology of Mesozoic rocks from eastern Palmer Land, Antarctic Peninsula: crustal anatexis in arc-related granitoid genesis

   Rb Sr and Sm Nd analyses, as well as a few new K Ar dates, are presented for plutonic igneous, meta-igneous and metasedimentary rocks from the central Black Coast area […]

6. Isoswertiajaponin 2′’-O-β-arabinopyranoside and other flavone-C-glycosides from the Antarctic grass Deschampsia antarctica

   The major flavonoid constituents of the Antarctic grass, Deschampsia antarctica, are shown to be the C-glycosylflavones, isoswertiajaponin (7-O-methylorientin) 2′’-O-β-arabinopyranoside and orientin. These are accompanied by lower levels of orientin 2′’-O-arabinopyranoside, […]

7. A laboratory investigation of two ultraviolet spectroradiometers

   Spectral measurements of the solar UV irradiance at the earth’s surface depend critically on the characteristics of the spectroradiometers and the procedures used in their calibration. Two UV spectroradiometers were […]

8. Antarctica-New Zealand rifting and Marie Byrd Land lithospheric magmatism linked to ridge subduction and mantle plume activity

   Mid-Cretaceous igneous rocks of central Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica record a rapid change from subduction-related to rift-related magmatism. This correlates with the final stages of subduction of the Phoenix plate […]

9. Interpreting the Environmental Protocol — a recipe for international confusion?

   Turning international agreement into national law has never been rapid or simple. Each country has its own parliamentary procedures, its own legal system and its own cultural interpretation of what […]

10. The need for environmental monitoring in Antarctica: baselines, environmental impact assessments, accidents and footprints

    The Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty (1991) requires the environmental monitoring of human activities carried out in Antarctica. The objective of such monitoring is to collect environmental […]

12. Providing expert scientific advice on the Antarctic environment [editorial]

    It is hard to divorce most human activities, including science, completely from politics. Politics is about perceived certainty whilst science is about doubt – they make strange bedfellows. Politicians detest […]
