1. The influence of water content on the light climate within Antarctic mosses characterized using an optical microprobe

   The light climate within wet and dry samples of ten mosses from the maritime Antarctic was determined using a computer-controlled optical microprobe system. Irradiances decreased with increasing depth within the […]

2. Mixed fractals and anisotropy in subantarctic marine macroalgae from South Georgia:implications for epifaunal biomass and abundance

   Fractal dimensions (D) of image perimeters of 4 macroalgae (Macrocystis pyrifera, Desmarestia menziesii, Schizoseris condensata, Palmaria georgica) collected at South Georgia, Southern Ocean were established over a wide scale range. […]

3. Environmental conditions and physiological tolerances of intertidal fauna in relation to shore zonation at Husvik, South Georgia

   South Georgia, an extremely isolated island within the Antarctic Convergence, was covered by an extensive icecap until ~10,000 years ago. In consequence the depauperate intertidal fauna is of recent origin […]

5. A review of geological constraints on the pre-break-up position of the Ellsworth Mountains within Gondwana: implications for Weddell Sea evolution

   It has long since been recognised that the Ellsworth-Whitmore mountains (EWM) crustal block possesses an anomalous structural and stratigraphic history relative to its neighbouring West Antarctic crustal blocks, and the […]

6. Evidence for westward-flowing Weddell Sea Deep Water in the Falkland Trough, western South Atlantic

   The North Scotia Ridge controls the eastward and northward flow of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) emerging from Drake Passage. Existing physical oceanographic data in this region are sparse and […]

8. Potential interactions between wandering albatrosses and longline fisheries for Patagonian toothfish at South Georgia

   We examine the extent of overlap between South Georgia wandering albatrosses (Diomedea exulans) and local longline fishing for Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides), using satellite-tracking data and precise haul locations, respectively. […]

9. Cephalopods as Prey. I. Seabirds

   We review quantitative studies of the cephalopod diet of seabirds, with details of all species forming more than 5% by numbers or mass of seabird diets. Although squid are widespread […]

10. Variations in the altitude of the F2 peak associated with trough-formation processes

    A novel approach is described which can help to determine, from ground-based data, which of the possible production mechanisms for the mid-latitude F-region ionospheric trough is dominant during a particular […]

11. Late Cretaceous extinction patterns in Antarctica

    New correlations of marine clastic sedimentary rocks exposed within the James Ross Basin, Antarctica have shown that the mid-to late Cretaceous succession is in excess of 5 km thick. Plotting […]

12. A new oxytomid bivalve from the Upper Jurassic – Lower Cretaceous of Antarctica

    Praeaucellina umbonoradiata gen. et sp. nov. is a small pteriomorph bivalve from the Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous of Antarctica which can be referred to the family Oxytomidae, within the superfamily Monotoidea. […]
