Summertime water masses off the northern Larsen C Ice Shelf, Antarctica
We report on oceanographic observations made at the northern end of Larsen C Ice Shelf in the western Weddell Sea. It appears that the Larsen C continental shelf is flushed […]

Circulation and water masses beneath the northern Ronne Ice Shelf, Antarctica
Read more of: Circulation and water masses beneath the northern Ronne Ice Shelf, AntarcticaWe present oceanographic data from beneath the northern Ronne Ice Shelf. The data were collected during the austral summer of 2002–2003 from four sites located near the ice front in […]

Interannual variability and ventilation timescales in the ocean cavity beneath Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf, Antarctica
Read more of: Interannual variability and ventilation timescales in the ocean cavity beneath Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf, Antarctica[1] Multiyear time series of ocean current and temperatures from beneath Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf, Antarctica, demonstrate both seasonal and interannual variability. The seasonal signal is visible at all measurement sites, […]

Testing olfactory foraging strategies in an Antarctic seabird assemblage
Read more of: Testing olfactory foraging strategies in an Antarctic seabird assemblageProcellariiform seabirds (petrels, albatrosses and shearwaters) forage over thousands of square kilometres for patchily distributed prey resources. While these birds are known for their large olfactory bulbs and excellent sense […]

Living (stained) and dead foraminifera from the newly ice-free Larsen Ice Shelf, Weddell Sea, Antarctica: ecology and taphonomy
Read more of: Living (stained) and dead foraminifera from the newly ice-free Larsen Ice Shelf, Weddell Sea, Antarctica: ecology and taphonomyWithin the past 7 years, the northern Larsen Ice Shelf has broken up so it is now possible to sample the sea floor that formerly lay beneath it. Box cores […]

Southern Antarctic Circumpolar Current Front to the northeast of South Georgia: horizontal advection of krill and its role in the ecosystem
Read more of: Southern Antarctic Circumpolar Current Front to the northeast of South Georgia: horizontal advection of krill and its role in the ecosystemDuring December 2000 and January 2001 we conducted a high-resolution hydrographic and bioacoustic transect (RRS James Clark Ross cruise 57) that extended across the South Georgia shelf from close to […]

Modeling the krill transport pathways in the Scotia Sea: spatial and environmental connections generating the seasonal distribution of krill
Read more of: Modeling the krill transport pathways in the Scotia Sea: spatial and environmental connections generating the seasonal distribution of krillA coupled physical-biological model analysis was undertaken to examine the seasonal development of the distribution of antarctic krill (Euphausia superba Dana) in the Scotia Sea. The origin and fate of […]

Raman spectroscopic studies of Antarctic endoliths and epiliths
Read more of: Raman spectroscopic studies of Antarctic endoliths and epilithsAntarctica has long been recognised as a putative analogue for Mars’ past (1) and any life there is surviving in extreme conditions. Raman spectroscopy has been proved as a suitable […]

Recent variations in surface mass balance of the Antarctic Peninsula ice sheet
Read more of: Recent variations in surface mass balance of the Antarctic Peninsula ice sheetOver the period 1972-98 the height of the snow surface at eight Antarctic sites in Palmer Land and on Alexander Island has been measured with respect to fixed points on […]
