2. Physiological plasticity, long term resistance or acclimation to temperature, in the Antarctic bivalve, Laternula elliptica

   To further investigate the previously reported limited acclimation capacities of Antarctic marine stenotherms, the Antarctic mud clam, Laternula elliptica (King and Broderip, 1830–1831), was incubated at 3.0 °C for 89 […]

4. Extreme natal philopatry in female Antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella)

   Natal philopatry is an important component of mammalian behaviour but is difficult to study in natural vertebrate populations due to the requirement for long-term individual-based spatial observations. Consequently, we quantified […]

5. The contribution of wave-particle interactions to electron loss and acceleration in the Earth’s radiation belts during geomagnetic storms

   The Earth’s radiation belts are a hazardous environment that pose a risk to astronauts and spacecraft on orbit. Having been discovered in 1958, there is renewed interest on the part […]

7. Efficient diffuse auroral electron scattering by electrostatic electron cyclotron harmonic waves in the outer magnetosphere: A detailed case study

   This paper is a companion to a paper by Liang et al. (2011) which reports a causal connection between the intensification of electrostatic ECH waves and the postmidnight diffuse auroral […]

8. Considerations of major issues in ecosystem monitoring and management

   This paper outlines the requirements of an ecosystem approach to the management of Southern Ocean resources and highlights the need for information on harvested and dependent species, their interactions and […]

9. Holocene glacial and climate history of Prince Gustav Channel, northeastern Antarctic Peninsula

   The Antarctic Peninsula is one of the most rapidly warming regions on Earth, as evidenced by a recent increase in the intensity and duration of summer melting, the recession of […]

11. Polymetamorphism in the NE Shackleton Range, Antarctica : constraints from petrology and U-Pb, Sm-Nd, Rb-Sr TIMS and in situ U-Pb LA-PIMMS dating

    Metapelitic rock samples from the NE Shackleton Range, Antarctica, include garnet with contrasting zonation patterns and two age spectra. Garnet porphyroblasts in K-rich kyanite-sillimanite- staurolite-garnet-muscovite-biotite schists from Lord Nunatak show […]

12. Two-dimensional structure of long-period pulsations at polar latitudes in Antarctica

    Two-dimensional (2-D) statistical distributions of spectral power and coherence of polar geomagnetic variations with quasi-periods about 10 min are analyzed using data from magnetometer arrays in Antarctica. Examination of the […]
