1. 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). […]

2. 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 […]

3. 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. […]

4. 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 […]

5. 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). […]

7. 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 […]

8. Habitat moisture availability and the local distribution of the Antarctic Collembola Cryptopygus antarcticus and Friesea grisea

   Population densities of the Collembola Cryptopygus antarcticus and Friesea grisea were compared in two maritime Antarctic habitats with different moisture availability. C. antarcticus was absent from the drier rock platform […]

9. The relationship of Pacific deep tropical convection to the winter and springtime extratropical atmospheric circulation of the South Pacific in El Niño events

   During some El Nino events Rossby wave trains (RWT) are observed to strongly modulate the seasonal atmospheric circulation of the South Pacific extratropics in the austral winter and spring. Here […]

10. The impact of winter ice retreat on Antarctic winter sea-ice extent and links to the atmospheric meridional circulation

    15 years of weekly Antarctic ice extent and 10 m winds from numerical meteorological reanalyses have been used to test the hypothesis that the Antarctic final winter ice extent (FWE) […]

11. Telomere loss in relation to age and early environment in long-lived birds

    Shortening of telomeres, specific nucleotide repeats that cap eukaryotic chromosomes, is thought to play an important role in cellular and organismal senescence. We examined telomere dynamics in two long-lived seabirds, […]

12. Effects of long-term implanted data loggers on macaroni penguins Eudyptes chrysolophus

    We tested the hypothesis that implanted data loggers have no effect on the survival, breeding success and behaviour of macaroni penguins Eudyptes chrysolophus . Seventy penguins were implanted with heart […]
