Halocarbons associated with Arctic sea ice
Read more of: Halocarbons associated with Arctic sea iceShort-lived halocarbons were measured in Arctic sea-ice brine, seawater and air above the Greenland and Norwegian seas (∼81°N, 2 to 5°E) in mid-summer, from a melting ice floe at the […]

Global morphology and spectral properties of EMIC waves derived from CRRES observations
Read more of: Global morphology and spectral properties of EMIC waves derived from CRRES observationsGyroresonant wave particle interactions with electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves are a potentially important loss process for relativistic electrons in the Earth’s radiation belts. Here we perform a statistical analysis […]

Saturn’s dynamic magnetotail: A comprehensive magnetic field and plasma survey of plasmoids and travelling compression regions, and their role in global magnetospheric dynamics
Read more of: Saturn’s dynamic magnetotail: A comprehensive magnetic field and plasma survey of plasmoids and travelling compression regions, and their role in global magnetospheric dynamicsWe present a comprehensive study of the magnetic field and plasma signatures of reconnection events observed with the Cassini spacecraft during the tail orbits of 2006. We examine their “local” […]

Environmental effects on cephalopod population dynamics
Read more of: Environmental effects on cephalopod population dynamicsCephalopods are a relatively small class of molluscs (~ 800 species), but they support some large industrial scale fisheries and numerous small-scale, local, artisanal fisheries. For several decades, landings of […]

The study of deep-sea cephalopods
Read more of: The study of deep-sea cephalopodsDeep-sea” cephalopods are here defined as cephalopods that spend a significant part of their life cycles outside the euphotic zone. In this chapter, the state of knowledge in several aspects […]

Constraining past accumulation in the central Pine Island Glacier basin, West Antarctica, using radio-echo sounding
Read more of: Constraining past accumulation in the central Pine Island Glacier basin, West Antarctica, using radio-echo soundingThe potential for future dynamical instability of Pine Island Glacier, West Antarctica, has been addressed in a number of studies, but information on its past remains limited. In this study […]

Re-assessing copepod growth using the Moult Rate method
Read more of: Re-assessing copepod growth using the Moult Rate methodEstimating growth and production rates of mesozooplankton, and copepods in particular, is important in describing flows of material and energy though pelagic systems. Over the past 30 years, the Moult […]
