1. Confusion of place names; an example from Antarctica

   Place names in the Hughes Bay area, Danco Coast, Antarctica well illustrate naming problems that give rise to confusion or ambiguity. This note shows the origins of conflicting place names, […]

2. Interconnectivity between volume transports through Arctic straits

   Arctic heat and freshwater budgets are highly sensitive to volume transports through the Arctic‐Subarctic straits. Here we study the interconnectivity of volume transports through Arctic straits in three models; two […]

3. The climate of the Antarctic Peninsula during the 20th century- evidence from ice cores

   The Antarctic Peninsula (AP) is a region of special climatological interest. The late twentieth century has been a period of warming surface temperatures, enhanced mass loss from melting glaciers and […]

4. Interhemispheric survey of polar cap aurora

   This study investigates the interhemispheric nature of polar cap auroras via ultraviolet imaging, combined with particle data, to determine whether they occur on open or closed field lines. Data from […]

5. The assessment of competition between seals and commercial fisheries in the North Sea and the Antarctic

   Most of the exploited fish stocks in the North Sea are also used as a food supply by a number of seal species; the same is true for some fish […]

9. A laboratory simulation of rock breakdown due to freeze-thaw in a maritime Antarctic environment

   Results of freeze‐thaw simulations on three large blocks of quartz‐micaschist are presented. Three types of water to ice phase change were identified from temperature and ultrasonic measurements. It is suggested […]

11. The polarization of escaping terrestrial continuum radiation

    Plasma wave measurements from the DE 1 (Dynamics Explorer 1) spacecraft are used to determine the polarization of an escaping terrestrial continuum radiation event that occurred on March 2, 1982. […]

12. Vitamin D metabolism in polar vertebrates

    1. Studies of serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25-OHD) in the Antarctic have been undertaken in husky dog, seal and penguin and compared to man. 2. Husky dogs showed a reversal of […]
