High resolution observations of Weddell Sea surface currents using ERS-l SAR sea-ice motion vectors
Read more of: High resolution observations of Weddell Sea surface currents using ERS-l SAR sea-ice motion vectorsAbstract Two areas of the Weddell Sea, one in the south and one in the west, were chosen for a preliminary investigation of sea-ice motion tracking from ERSt Synthetic Aperture […]

An evaluation of a self-calibrating infrared radiometer for measuring sea surface temperature
Read more of: An evaluation of a self-calibrating infrared radiometer for measuring sea surface temperatureSatellite radiometer measurements of global sea surface temperature (SST) with an accuracy of 0.3 K are required for climate change monitoring. In order to validate that this accuracy can be […]

Climatic severity and the response to temperature elevation of Arctic aphids
Read more of: Climatic severity and the response to temperature elevation of Arctic aphids1 Theory suggests that any given rise in temperature resulting from climate change will have its greatest effect on high Arctic ecosystems where growing seasons are short and temperatures low. […]

The role of mantle plumes in continental breakup: case histories from Gondwanaland
Read more of: The role of mantle plumes in continental breakup: case histories from GondwanalandAfter thirty years of plate-tectonic theory, the reasons why supercontinents disintegrate and disperse to form smaller continental plates remain enigmatic. Possible causes range from abnormally hot mantle upwellings, or plumes, […]
