2. Respiratory metabolism of Alaskozetes antarcticus

   Measurements of oxygen consumption in all post-embryonic life stages of U.K. cultured Alaskozetes antarcticus (Acari: Cryptostigmata) showed that log10 respiration rate was linearly related to log10 live weight, while loge […]

3. Effect of temperature change on the metabolic rate of an antarctic mite

   Measurements of metabolic rate in the terrestrial miteAlaskozetes antarcticus showed that the ability for metabolic temperature compensation is lacking in adults of this species. Animals cultured at 0 and 10°C […]

5. Depolarization of radio waves can distinguish between floating and grounded ice sheets

   Polar ice is now thought to be marginally birefringent at radio echo-sounding frequencies. An experiment on the polarization behaviour of 60 MHz radio echoes from the bed of both ice […]

8. A geochemical study of magmatism associated with the initial stages of back-arc spreading

   Bransfield Strait is a narrow basin separating the South Shetland Islands from the Antarctic Peninsula and is attributed to recent back-arc extension behind the South Shetland volcanic arc. The volcanic […]

9. Resection on moving ice

   Resection can be used to measure the velocity of a glacier even where the co-ordinates of rock stations are unknown. The method is an adaptation of conventional semi-graphic resection and […]

11. Age of the Glen Dessary Syenite, Inverness-shire: diachronous Palaeozoic metamorphism Across the Great Glen

    Apparently igneous zircons from the Glen Dessary syenite complex give concordant U-Pb ages averaging 456 ± 5 Ma which is taken to date crystallization. The complex was deformed and metamorphosed […]

12. Leucocyte ascorbic acid and the leucocyte count

    1. During the course of a nutritional survey on an Antarctic base, leucocyte ascorbic acid estimations (Denson & Bowers, 1961) were found to be significantly affected (P < 0.0001) by […]
