1. Predation by great skuas at a large Shetland seabird colony

   1. Skuas are top predators in marine ecosystems and may have detrimental effects on seabird communities they prey upon. However, predation rates are poorly understood and poorly quantified. Using a […]

2. The dynamics of covering behaviour in dominant echinoid populations from American and European west coasts

   The so-called ‘covering behaviour’ of echinoids is known to vary with habitat according to the types of covering items available, but the full extent of the role played by habitat […]

3. Late Quaternary deglaciation and climate history of the Larsemann Hills (East Antarctica)

   The Late Quaternary climate history of the Larsemann Hills has been reconstructed using siliceous microfossils (diatoms, chrysophytes and silicoflagellates) in sediment cores extracted from three isolation lakes. Results show that […]

4. Coastal oceanographic conditions in the Prydz Bay region (East Antarctica) during the Holocene recorded in an isolation basin

   Information on East Antarctic coastal environments during the Holocene is relatively sparse. This is surprising as sedimentary records from the interface between land and sea can provide chronologies of climatic […]

5. Quantifying habitat-specific diatom production: a critical assessment using morphological and biogeochemical markers in Antarctic marine and lake sediments

   Reconstructions of historical primary production, and of the algal groups and habitats that contribute to it, are fundamental in studies of climate and environmental change in both marine and freshwater […]

6. Depositional and post-depositional history of warm stage deposits at Knocknacran, Co. Monaghan, Ireland: implications for preservation of Irish last interglacial deposits

   Organic-rich deposits, uncovered during overburden removal from mantled gypsum karst at Knocknacran opencast gypsum mine, Co. Monaghan, are the best candidate to date for a last interglacial record in Ireland. […]

8. The near-surface wind field over the Antarctic continent

   A 14 year integration with a regional atmospheric model has been used to determine the near-Surface climatological wind field over the Antarctic ice sheet at a horizontal grid spacing of […]

9. Precipitation, sublimation, and snow drift in the Antarctic Peninsula region from a regional atmospheric model

   A regional atmospheric model, with a horizontal grid spacing (Deltax) of 14 km, is used to study the surface mass balance components ( precipitation, sublimation, and snow drift) in the […]

11. Stratigraphic correlations between the European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica (EPICA) Dome C and Vostok ice cores showing the relative variations of snow accumulation over the past 45 kyr

    High-resolution chemistry analysis and electrical measurements performed on two ice core records (European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica (EPICA) Dome C and Vostok) spanning the last 45 kyr allow […]

12. The SCAR READER Project: toward a high-quality database of mean Antarctic meteorological observations

    A new dataset of monthly and annual mean near-surface climate data ( temperature, surface and mean sea level pressure, and wind speed) for the Antarctic region has been created using […]
