1. Exploring the relationship between parental relatedness and male reproductive success in the Antarctic fur seal Arctocephalus gazella

   Recent genetic studies of natural populations have shown that heterozygosity and other genetic estimates of parental relatedness correlate with a wide variety of fitness traits, from juvenile survival and parasite […]

2. Environmental factors influencing the pigment composition of in situ benthic microbial communities in east Antarctic lakes

   To compile reference data for palaeolimnological studies using fossil pigments, we examined the extent to which environmental variables, gross morphology and species composition influence the modern pigment content of in […]

4. Thermoviscous stability of ice-sheet flows

   The shallow-ice approximation is used to analyse the normal-mode stability of long-wavelength, thermally coupled, free-surface flows of glaciers and ice sheets along infinite flow sections. The viscosity of the ice […]

5. A numerical comparison of approximations to the Stokes equations used in ice sheet and glacier modeling

   A computational analysis of the accuracy of different approximations to the Stokes equations for momentum balance used in ice sheet modeling is performed by solving a particular tractable form of […]

6. Options for allocating the precautionary catch limit of krill among small-scale management units in the Scotia Sea

   Following an assessment of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) in the Scotia Sea, CCAMLR established a precautionary catch limit of 4 million tonnes and further adopted 15 small-scale management units (SSMUs). […]

7. Biomass of Antarctic krill in the Scotia Sea in January/February 2000 and its use in revising an estimate of precautionary yield

   In January and February 2000, a collaborative survey designed to assess the biomass of Antarctic krill across the Scotia Sea was conducted aboard research vessels from Japan, Russia, the UK […]

8. Miocene changes in bottom current regime recorded in continental rise sediments on the Pacific Margin of the Antarctic Peninsula

   A Fossil Mounded Sedimentary Body (MB) has been identified in the Miocene sedimentary record on the central continental rise west of Adelaide Island, Antarctic Peninsula, using multichannel seismic reflection profiles. […]

9. Evolución desde el Mioceno del margen pacífico de la Península Antártica frente a la Isla Adelaida: un ejemplo de margen pasivo glacial

   The analysis of the morphology and stratigraphy of the Antarctic Peninsula Pacific margin offshore from Adelaide Island shows 3 main evolutionary intervals, from the Late Miocene to the recent which […]

10. Cretaceous (Wealden) climates: a modelling perspective

    This paper describes the results from a new palaeoclimate modelling exercise for the Early Cretaceous (Barremian) focussed on the Weald (SE England), using a Limited Area Numerical Climate Model (LAM). […]

12. Modelling Pliocene warmth: contribution of atmosphere, oceans and cryosphere

    The relative role of the atmosphere, oceans and cryosphere in contributing towards middle Pliocene warmth (ca 3 Ma BP) is investigated using the HadCM3 coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation model. The […]
