Biology of living brachiopods
This chapter describes the biology of living brachiopods. The Brachiopoda are significant components of the early Cambrian marine Faunas and are therefore one of the few phyla to be represented […]

Melting of ice shelves and the mass balance of Antarctica
Read more of: Melting of ice shelves and the mass balance of AntarcticaWe calculate the present ice budget for Antarctica from measurements of accumulation minus iceberg calving, run-off and in situ melting beneath the floating ice shelves. The resulting negative mass balance […]

Late Pleistocene and Holocene glacial history of James Ross Island, Antarctic Peninsula
Read more of: Late Pleistocene and Holocene glacial history of James Ross Island, Antarctic PeninsulaStudies of Quaternary glacial stratigraphy and morphology around the Antarctic Peninsula have shown that James Ross Island in the western Weddell Sea probably has the best occurrences of stratigraphic sections […]

Changes in seabird species abundance near South Georgia during a period of rapid change in sea surface temperature
Read more of: Changes in seabird species abundance near South Georgia during a period of rapid change in sea surface temperatureDuring a three month research cruise near the island of South Georgia, sea surface temperature (SST) increased from c. 2°C to over 4°C. Satellite derived SST show that this corresponded […]

An additional record of a placental mammal (Order Astrapotheria) from the Eocene of West Antarctica
Read more of: An additional record of a placental mammal (Order Astrapotheria) from the Eocene of West AntarcticaRecently, fossil land mammals have been recorded in the James Ross Island area, east of the Antarctic Peninsula, from the marine middle-late Eocene strata of Seymour Island. These include two […]

Specification of the near-Earth space environment with SHIELDS
Read more of: Specification of the near-Earth space environment with SHIELDSPredicting variations in the near-Earth space environment that can lead to spacecraft damage and failure is one example of “space weather” and a big space physics challenge. A project recently […]

Regional climate of the Larsen B embayment 1980–2014
Read more of: Regional climate of the Larsen B embayment 1980–2014Understanding the climate response of the Antarctic Peninsula ice sheet is vital for accurate predictions of sea-level rise. However, since climate models are typically too coarse to capture spatial variability […]
