Permeability measurements using oscillatory flows
Read more of: Permeability measurements using oscillatory flowsWe describe a versatile apparatus for measuring the permeability of porous materials using oscillatory flows. The permeabilities are measured by an original spectral analysis of the pressure and fluid-displacement signals. […]

Intra-specific niche partitioning in Antarctic fur seals, Arctocephalus gazella
Read more of: Intra-specific niche partitioning in Antarctic fur seals, Arctocephalus gazellaCompetition for resources within a population can lead to niche partitioning between sexes, throughout ontogeny and among individuals, allowing con-specifics to co-exist. We aimed to quantify such partitioning in Antarctic […]

The impact of secondary ice production on Arctic stratocumulus
Read more of: The impact of secondary ice production on Arctic stratocumulusIn situ measurements of Arctic clouds frequently show that ice crystal number concentrations (ICNCs) are much higher than the number of available ice-nucleating particles (INPs), suggesting that secondary ice production […]

New gravity-derived bathymetry for the Thwaites, Crosson and Dotson ice shelves revealing two ice shelf populations
Read more of: New gravity-derived bathymetry for the Thwaites, Crosson and Dotson ice shelves revealing two ice shelf populationsIce shelves play a critical role in the long-term stability of ice sheets through their buttressing effect. The underlying bathymetry and cavity thickness are key inputs for modelling future ice […]

An unusual record of three species of whale being restricted to pools in Antarctic sea ice
Read more of: An unusual record of three species of whale being restricted to pools in Antarctic sea iceDuring the winter in the Crown Prince Gustav Channel in Graham Land, ice tends to form at the northerly end first, thus isolating pools of open water. The pools normally […]

The breeding and maintenance of sledge dogs
Read more of: The breeding and maintenance of sledge dogsOne of the logical reasons for exploration is to collect the maximum of information in a specified time; therefore planning should be based on an appreciation of the pregnable gaps […]
