Abstract : Well sorted, fine lithic sandstone within the Drygalski Formation at Cape Lockyer on the … southern tip of Heard Island, preserves a diverse terrestrial palynoflora as well as marine diatoms and a few … foraminifera. A combination of these elements suggests a Late Miocene age (10–5 Ma).
The Cenozoic glacial history of East Antarctica is recorded in part by the stratigraphy of the Prydz … Bay–Lambert Graben region. The glacigene strata and associated erosion surfaces record at least 10 intervals … of glacial advance (with accompanying erosion and sediment compaction)…
Landforms of Marine Plain in the Vestfold Hills contrast with those of most in the Vestfold Hills. They include consistent land surfaces at 40+ m and 25 m, characteristics controlled by orientation of rock … features, and imprints of phases of glaciation…
The degree to which Southern Hemisphere climatic changes during the end of the last … glacial period and early Holocene (30-8 ka) were influenced or initiated by events occurring in the high … latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere is a complex issue.
The frequency of visibly phage-infected bacterial … cells (FVIB) and the average number of phages … per cell [i.e. burst size (BS)] were determined in … Antarctic and Arctic ultra-oligotrophic freshwater … environments.
Wandering Albatrosses (Diomedea exulans) are globally threatened owing to declines in populations, and the breeding population of Macquarie Island is particularly vulnerable as it comprises fewer than 20 breeding … pairs.
This review concerns crustaceans that associate with sea ice. Particular … emphasis is placed on comparing and contrasting the Arctic and Antarctic … sea ice habitats, and the subsequent influence of these environments on the … life history strategies of the crustacean fauna.
