2. Physiological flexibility: the key to success and survival for Antarctic fairy shrimps in highly fluctuating extreme environments

   1. The anostracan fairy shrimp Branchinecta gaini inhabits one of the most hostile environments on earth, living in pools and lakes in Antarctica. Between January 2002 and January 2003 temperatures […]

3. The UV environment of the Beagle 2 landing site: detailed investigations and detection of atmospheric state

   December 25th 2003 will see the Beagle 2 lander arrive at the surface of Mars in the Isidis region, allowing for the first time in situ measurements of ultraviolet (UV) […]

4. Magnetic local time, substorm, and particle precipitation-related variations in the behaviour of SuperDARN Doppler spectral widths

   Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (DARN) radars often detect a distinct transition in line-of-sight Doppler velocity spread, or spectral width, from 200 m s(-1) at higher latitude. They also detect […]

5. Additions and corrections to the lichens of Antarctica and South Georgia

   The taxonomic listing given in Lichens of Antarctica and South Georgia (Øvstedal & Lewis Smith 2001) has been updated. 17 additional taxa of lichenised fungi are described, including several nomenclatural […]

6. A ‘low-level’ explanation for the recent large warming event trend over the western Antarctic Peninsula involving blocked winds and changes in zonal circulation

   [1] We demonstrate a mechanism whereby the impact of stronger circumpolar westerly winds on the mountains of the Antarctic Peninsula contributes significantly to the enhanced warming trend observed over its […]

7. Prydz Bay fan and the history of extreme ice advances in Prydz Bay

   During the late Neogene, the Lambert Glacier–Amery Ice Shelf drainage system flowed across Prydz Bay in an ice stream that reached the shelf edge and built a trough mouth fan […]

8. The impact of PMSE and NLC particles on VLF propagation

   PMSE or Polar Mesosphere Summer Echoes are a well-known phenomenon in the summer northern polar regions, in which anomalous VHF/UHF radar echoes are returned from heights similar to85 km. Noctilucent […]

9. 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 […]

11. Circulation and water masses beneath the northern Ronne Ice Shelf, Antarctica

    We 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 […]

12. 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, […]
