1. Polar Ecosystems

   This article briefly reviews the simple structure of polar marine food webs in the context of limited environmental temperature variability, but extreme seasonality of light, ice, and primary productivity. It […]

2. Mitochondrial function and critical temperature in the Antarctic bivalve, Laternula elliptica

   Thermal sensitivities of maximum respiration and proton leakage were compared in gill mitochondria of the Antarctic bivalve Laternula elliptica for an assessment of the contribution of mitochondrial mechanisms to limiting […]

3. Reconstruction of Antarctic palaeoclimates using angiosperm wood anatomy

   Fossil angiosperm wood is abundant within Cretaceous and Tertiary sediments on the Antarctic Peninsula. The wood, which represents the trunks and branches of large forest trees that once grew on […]

4. The first record of fossil atherospermataceous wood from the upper Cretaceous of Antarctica

   Fossil wood of the Atherospermataceae from the upper Cretaceous of James Ross Island, Antarctica, is described for the first time and represents the earliest record of this family in the […]

5. Conjugate observations of the day-side reconnection electric field: A GEM boundary layer campaign

   Data from HF-radars are used to make the first simultaneous conjugate measurements of the dayside reconnection electric field. A period of 4 h around local magnetic noon are studied during […]

6. Community recovery following catastrophic iceberg impacts in a soft-sediment shallow-water site at Signy Island, Antarctica

   Ice disturbance is possibly the major structuring element of polar nearshore biological communities. Effects range from encapsulation by ice forming on rock substrata to gouging and trampling by bergs. Some […]

9. Laboratory study of the migration of methane sulphonate in firn

   Two 10cm lengths of firn core from the Dyer Plateau (700° 3l’S, 65°0l’W), Antarctic Peninsula, were used to carry out a laboratory experiment to investigate the migration of methane sulphonate, […]

11. The roles of sex, mass and individual specialisation in partitioning foraging-depth niches of a pursuit-diving predator

    Intra-specific foraging niche partitioning can arise due to gender differences or individual specialisation in behaviour or prey selection. These may in turn be related to sexual size dimorphism or individual […]

12. A novel and low cost sea ice mass balance buoy

    The understanding of sea ice mass balance processes requires continuous monitoring of the seasonal evolution of the ice thickness. While autonomous ice mass balance buoys (IMB buoys) deployed over the […]
