1. Bridging the atmospheric divide

   The mesosphere and lower thermosphere have long suffered from their inaccessibility to research balloons and satellites alike. As a result, basic knowledge about this central region of the atmosphere is […]

2. Antarctica’s role in understanding long-term change in the upper atmosphere

   Within the global context, Antarctica has a key role to play in understanding long-term change in the upper atmosphere, both because of its isolation from the rest of the world […]

3. Antarctic-Arctic contrasts – key pointers to mesospheric dynamics and energetics

   In the mesosphere and lower thermosphere the contrasts between the Antarctic and Arctic regarding both the energy inputs and the consequent dynamics, energetics and chemistry mean that comparative polar observations […]

4. A new ice-core record from Lomonosovfonna, Svalbard: viewing the 1920-97 data in relation to present climate and environmental conditions

   In 1997 a 121 m ice core was retrieved from Lomonosovfonna, the highest ice field in Spitsbergen, Svalbard (1250 m a.s.l.). Radar measurements indicate an ice depth of 126.5 m, […]

5. Flavobacterium frigidarium sp. nov., an aerobic, psychrophilic, xylanolytic and laminarinolytic bacterium from Antarctica

   A psychrophilic, aerobic bacterium designated A2iT was isolated from marine sediment recovered from shallow waters surrounding Adelaide Island, Antarctica (67S 34H S, 68S 07H W). The organism exhibited xylanolytic and […]

6. Palaeoecology and taxonomy of Pentoxylales from the Albian of Antarctica

   Reproductive pentoxylalean material from the Albian Triton Point Formation, Fossil Bluff Group of Alexander Island, Antarctica is the youngest record of this group globally. Leaves are referred to Taeniopteris daintreei […]

7. From Scotia to ‘Operation Tabarin’: developing British policy for Antarctica

   The roots of a British Antarctic policy can be traced, paradoxically, back to the establishment of a meteorological station by the Scottish Antarctic Expedition in the South Orkneys, in 1903, […]

8. A new code for electrostatic simulation by numerical integration of the Vlasov and Ampere equations using MacCormack’s method

   We present anewsimulationcode for electrostatic waves in one dimension which uses the Vlasovequation to integrate the distribution function and Ampère’sequation to integrate the electric field forward in time. Previous Vlasovcodes […]

9. Adaptation of an isopycnic coordinate ocean model for the study of circulation beneath ice shelves

   Much of the Antarctic coastline comprises large, floating ice shelves, beneath which waters from the open ocean circulate. The interaction of the seawater with the base of these ice shelves […]

10. Limnology and biology of saline lakes in the Rauer Islands, eastern Antarctica

    The Rauer Islands contain more than fifty shallow lakes and small ephemeral ponds. Despite their proximity to the Vestfold fills – one of the most diverse and intensively studied lake […]

11. Were the Larsemann Hills ice-free through the Last Glacial Maximum?

    Lake sediments in the Larsemann Hills contain a great diversity ofbiological and physical markers from which past environments can be inferred. In order to determine the timing of environmental changes […]
