2. Re-examining the Antarctic Paradox: speculation on the southern Ocean as a nutrient-limited system

   The Southern Ocean is the largest of the high-nutrient, low-chlorophyll (HNLC) regions of the world ocean. Phytoplankton production fails to utilise completely the pool of inorganic nutrients in the euphotic […]

3. Estimates of Southern Ocean primary production—constraints from predator carbon demand and nutrient drawdown

   In view of the wide range of estimates for the total primary production for the Southern Ocean south of the Subantarctic Front—current estimates range from 1.2 to 3.5 Gtonne C […]

4. Accurate derivation of total and stratospheric vertical columns of NO2 from ground-based zenith-sky measurements

   A new method for retrieving the vertical profile of NO2 from ground-based measurements is applied to four months of measurements made at Aberdeen (57°N) during part of SESAME from November […]

6. Feeding, metabolism and metabolic scope in Antarctic marine ectotherms

   The rise in metabolism following feeding exhibited by animals, known as the heat increment or specific dynamic action (SDA) of feeding has been well known since the 1930s when it […]

7. The Antarctic Plant Database: a specimen and literature based information system

   The British Antarctic Survey’s Antarctic Plant Database holds over 50,000 herbarium records for Antarctic and sub-Antarctic flowering plants and cryptogams held in herbaria world-wide. In addition, it holds information on […]

8. Evidence for the importance of `small’ faults on block rotation

   Field and earthquake data are presented which show that small faults can be important during block rotation. `Small’ here means those faults which are at least an order of magnitude […]

10. Geochronology and geochemistry of pre-Jurassic superterranes in Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica

    Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica, is a major part of the proto-Pacific supercontinental margin. On the basis of new geochronological and geochemical data relating to its pre-Jurassic evolution, Marie Byrd Land […]
