1. Additions and corrections to the lichens of Antarctica and South Georgia

   The taxonomic listing given in Lichens of Antarctica and South Georgia (Øvstedal & Lewis Smith 2001) has been updated. 17 additional taxa of lichenised fungi are described, including several nomenclatural […]

2. A ‘low-level’ explanation for the recent large warming event trend over the western Antarctic Peninsula involving blocked winds and changes in zonal circulation

   [1] We demonstrate a mechanism whereby the impact of stronger circumpolar westerly winds on the mountains of the Antarctic Peninsula contributes significantly to the enhanced warming trend observed over its […]

3. Prydz Bay fan and the history of extreme ice advances in Prydz Bay

   During the late Neogene, the Lambert Glacier–Amery Ice Shelf drainage system flowed across Prydz Bay in an ice stream that reached the shelf edge and built a trough mouth fan […]

4. The impact of PMSE and NLC particles on VLF propagation

   PMSE or Polar Mesosphere Summer Echoes are a well-known phenomenon in the summer northern polar regions, in which anomalous VHF/UHF radar echoes are returned from heights similar to85 km. Noctilucent […]

5. Summertime water masses off the northern Larsen C Ice Shelf, Antarctica

   We report on oceanographic observations made at the northern end of Larsen C Ice Shelf in the western Weddell Sea. It appears that the Larsen C continental shelf is flushed […]

7. Circulation and water masses beneath the northern Ronne Ice Shelf, Antarctica

   We present oceanographic data from beneath the northern Ronne Ice Shelf. The data were collected during the austral summer of 2002–2003 from four sites located near the ice front in […]

8. Interannual variability and ventilation timescales in the ocean cavity beneath Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf, Antarctica

   [1] Multiyear time series of ocean current and temperatures from beneath Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf, Antarctica, demonstrate both seasonal and interannual variability. The seasonal signal is visible at all measurement sites, […]

9. Testing olfactory foraging strategies in an Antarctic seabird assemblage

   Procellariiform seabirds (petrels, albatrosses and shearwaters) forage over thousands of square kilometres for patchily distributed prey resources. While these birds are known for their large olfactory bulbs and excellent sense […]

10. Living (stained) and dead foraminifera from the newly ice-free Larsen Ice Shelf, Weddell Sea, Antarctica: ecology and taphonomy

    Within the past 7 years, the northern Larsen Ice Shelf has broken up so it is now possible to sample the sea floor that formerly lay beneath it. Box cores […]

11. Southern Antarctic Circumpolar Current Front to the northeast of South Georgia: horizontal advection of krill and its role in the ecosystem

    During December 2000 and January 2001 we conducted a high-resolution hydrographic and bioacoustic transect (RRS James Clark Ross cruise 57) that extended across the South Georgia shelf from close to […]

12. Modeling the krill transport pathways in the Scotia Sea: spatial and environmental connections generating the seasonal distribution of krill

    A coupled physical-biological model analysis was undertaken to examine the seasonal development of the distribution of antarctic krill (Euphausia superba Dana) in the Scotia Sea. The origin and fate of […]
