1. Lévy flights in random searches

   We review the general search problem of how to find randomly located objects that can only be detected in the limited vicinity of a forager, and discuss its quantitative description […]

2. The eastern Palmer Land shear zone: a new terrane accretion model for the Mesozoic development of the Antarctic Peninsula

   A major ductile fault zone, the eastern Palmer Land shear zone, has been identified east of the spine of the southern Antarctic Peninsula. This shear zone separates newly identified geological […]

3. A seasonally varying biotope at Signy Island, Antarctic: implications for meiofaunal structure

   Under the typical high-latitude conditions of temperature, productivity and settlement of chlorophyll and phaeophytin to the sediment, many benthic organisms in the Antarctic show strong seasonal variation. Although meiofauna comprise […]

4. From model intercomparison toward benchmark UV spectra for six real atmospheric cases

   The validity of a radiative transfer model can be checked either by comparing its results with measurements or with solutions for artificial cases. Unfortunately, neither type of comparison can guarantee […]

5. Holocene electrical and chemical measurements from the EPICA–Dome C ice core

   The comparison between electric (electric-conductivity measurement (ECM) and dielectric profiling (DEP)) and chemical (sulphate and chloride) depth profiles along the first 400 m of the EPICA-Dome C ice core revealed […]

6. Temperature and pressure tolerances of embryos and larvae of the Antarctic sea urchin Sterechinus neumayeri (Echinodermata:Echinoidea):potential for deep-sea invasion from high latitudes

   Early embryos, blastulae, prisms and 4-arm plutei of the Antarctic shallow-water echinoid Sterechinus neumayeri were subjected to a temperature/pressure regime from -1.2 to +2.5°C and from 1 to 250 atm. […]

7. A surface acoustic wave frost-point hygrometer for measurements of stratospheric water vapour

   Conventional frost-point hygrometers observe frost on their cold point by optical means [1,2,3], thereby requiring several micrometres of ice to form. We have developed a new hygrometer which uses surface […]

8. Transport and structure within the Antarctic Circumpolar Current to the north of South Georgia

   The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) crosses rugged topography to the north of South Georgia. In this region the subsurface expression of the Polar Front (PF) is generally thought to occur […]

9. Modeling the consequences of Antarctic krill harvesting on Antarctic fur seals

   In terms of the convention governing the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), management advice for the Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) fishery should take the needs […]

10. Solar cycle changes in daytime VLF subionospheric attenuation

    Observations of field strengths of signals from a number of VLF transmitters, after propagation over long paths in the Earth–ionosphere waveguide, have been used to examine changes in the daytime […]

11. Macrofossils from CRP-2/2A, Victoria Land Basin, Antarctica

    CRP-2/2A hole, drilled at 77.006oS and 163.719oE, about 14 km east of Cape Roberts, in the Ross Sea, reached 624 metres below sea floor and recovered a thick Miocene-Oligocene succession […]

12. Renormalization-group study of a sandpile (FSOC)analog for magnetospheric activity

    It has been suggested that the dynamics of the magnetotail may exhibit forced and/or self-organized critical behaviour. Recent analysis of experimental data seem to be in concert with this idea. […]
