The biology, ecology and vulnerability of seamount communities
Read more of: The biology, ecology and vulnerability of seamount communitiesWhile much remains unknown about seamount communities, scientific evidence suggests that high seas bottom trawling may have significant and irreversible impacts on the diversity and ecology of seamounts and other […]

The biology, ecology and vulnerability of deep-water coral reefs
Read more of: The biology, ecology and vulnerability of deep-water coral reefsDeep-sea coral reefs live in the cold, dark waters of the oceans but like shallow water tropical coral reefs they have a distinct, diverse and sometimes highly endemic associated animal […]

Investigating radiation belt losses though numerical modelling of precipitating fluxes
Read more of: Investigating radiation belt losses though numerical modelling of precipitating fluxesIt has been suggested that whistler-induced electron precipitation (WEP) may be the most significant inner radiation belt loss process for some electron energy ranges. One area of uncertainty lies in […]

Testing the importance of precipitation loss mechanisms in the inner radiation belt
Read more of: Testing the importance of precipitation loss mechanisms in the inner radiation beltManmade control of the radiation belts for the protection of space-based infrastructure has been suggested on the basis of theoretical calculations. In this paper we put forward an experimental test […]

U-Pb zircon (SHRIMP) ages for the Lebombo rhyolites, South Africa: refining the duration of Karoo volcanism
Read more of: U-Pb zircon (SHRIMP) ages for the Lebombo rhyolites, South Africa: refining the duration of Karoo volcanismU-Pb SHRIMP ages are reported for three rhyolite flows from the Lebombo rift region of the Karoo volcanic province. Two flows are interbedded with the Sabie River Basalt Formation and […]

The dynamics of idealized katabatic flow over a moderate slope and ice shelf
Read more of: The dynamics of idealized katabatic flow over a moderate slope and ice shelfA non-hydrostatic numerical weather prediction model has been employed to Simulate idealized katabatic flows over a moderate slope and adjoining ice shelf. The topography of Coats Land and the adjoining […]

Biomass and energy transfer to baleen whales in the South Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean
Read more of: Biomass and energy transfer to baleen whales in the South Atlantic sector of the Southern OceanBaleen whales are an important group of predators on Antarctic krill in the Southern Ocean. During the CCAMLR 2000 Survey to estimate the biomass and distribution of Antarctic krill, International […]

Spatial distribution of predator/prey interactions in the Scotia Sea: implications for measuring predator/fisheries overlap
Read more of: Spatial distribution of predator/prey interactions in the Scotia Sea: implications for measuring predator/fisheries overlapThe measurement of spatial overlap between predators and fisheries exploiting a common prey source is dependent upon the measurement scale used; inappropriate scales may produce misleading results. Previous assessments of […]

Widening the net: spatio-temporal variability in the krill population structure across the Scotia Sea
Read more of: Widening the net: spatio-temporal variability in the krill population structure across the Scotia SeaResolving the spatial variability in the population structure of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) requires a synoptic sample, as in the design of the CCAMLR 2000 Survey. However, this approach is […]

Lower Jurassic floras from Hope Bay and Botany Bay, Antarctica
Read more of: Lower Jurassic floras from Hope Bay and Botany Bay, AntarcticaHope Bay and Botany Bay, Graham Land, Antarctica have yielded two of the most diverse floras known from the Jurassic. Because of its high diversity, as well as its early […]
