Basement geology and Palaeozoic–Mesozoic mafic dykes from the Cape Meredith Complex, Falkland Islands: a record of repeated intracontinental extension
Read more of: Basement geology and Palaeozoic–Mesozoic mafic dykes from the Cape Meredith Complex, Falkland Islands: a record of repeated intracontinental extensionMafic dykes (Groups A–D) intruded into Mesoproterozoic basement amphibolites, gneisses, and granitoids of the Cape Meredith Complex on the southern tip of West Falkland, provide an important record of at […]

Stomach oil and reproductive energetics in Antarctic prions,Pachyptila desolata
Read more of: Stomach oil and reproductive energetics in Antarctic prions,Pachyptila desolataWe studied energy-provisioning rates and energy requirements of nestlings, as well as energy-expenditure rates of adults in Antarctic prions (Pachyptila desolata) on sub-Antarctic Bird Island, South Georgia. Special emphasis was […]

Large amplitude magnetic anomalies in the northern sector of the Powell Basin, NE Antarctic Peninsula
Read more of: Large amplitude magnetic anomalies in the northern sector of the Powell Basin, NE Antarctic PeninsulaMagnetic profiles obtained during the Hesant 92/93 cruise with the R/V Hesperides show large amplitude anomalies (up to 1000 nT) along a 100 km wide band in the northern margin […]

An active mantle mechanism for Gondwana breakup
Read more of: An active mantle mechanism for Gondwana breakupDespite over thirty years of plate tectonic theory, the reasons why supercontinents like Gondwana disintegrate into smaller continents and disperse remain enigmatic. Current ideas mostly involve changes in plate-boundary driving […]

Glacially-influenced sediment drifts in the Rockall Trough
Read more of: Glacially-influenced sediment drifts in the Rockall TroughSediment drifts are a major depositional product of bottom-current activity in deep-water settings, particularly on slopes and basin plains within, and adjacent to, continental margins. They commonly form positive features […]

Benthic community development in Antarctica: recruitment and growth on settlement panels at Signy Island
Read more of: Benthic community development in Antarctica: recruitment and growth on settlement panels at Signy IslandIdentity, quantity and seasonal variation in recruiting invertebrate larvae were investigated at Signy Island, Antarctica. Nine settlement panels were deployed at each of three sites at depths ranging between five […]
