Determining the sex of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba using carapace measurements
Read more of: Determining the sex of Antarctic krill Euphausia superba using carapace measurementsA discriminant function using simple carapace measurements corretly determined the sex of 87% of male and 89% of female Antarctic krill Euphausia superba. This facilitated the use of sex-specific regression […]

Early evolution of the Proto-Andean margin of South America
Read more of: Early evolution of the Proto-Andean margin of South AmericaFrom a detailed study of a 500 km transect in the Sierras Pampeanas, central-west Argentina, two pre-Silurian tectono-magmatic episodes are recognized and defined, each culminating in micro-continental collisions against the […]

Large-scale submarine landslides, channel and gully systems on the southern Weddell Sea margin, Antarctica
Read more of: Large-scale submarine landslides, channel and gully systems on the southern Weddell Sea margin, AntarcticaNew multibeam bathymetric data from the southeastern Weddell Sea show significant differences in surface morphology of the outer continental shelf and slope between two adjacent cross-shelf troughs. These are the […]

Quaternary history of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current: evidence from the Scotia Sea
Read more of: Quaternary history of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current: evidence from the Scotia SeaWithin the Scotia Sea, the axis of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is geographically confined, and sediments therefore contain a record of palaeo-flow speed uncomplicated by ACC axis migration. We […]

Glacial–interglacial deposition on a sediment drift on the Pacific margin of the Antarctic Peninsula
Read more of: Glacial–interglacial deposition on a sediment drift on the Pacific margin of the Antarctic PeninsulaOn the continental rise west of the Antarctic Peninsula there are nine large mounds interpreted as sediment drifts, separated by turbidity current channels. Drift 7 is 150 km long, 70 […]
