Evaluation of diffusive gradients in thin film (DGT) samplers for measuring contaminants in the Antarctic marine environment. Chemosphere, 2006 (Ref: 12681)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

This work has been the first application of DGT samplers for measuring metals in water and sediment porewater in the Antarctic … environment, and whilst DGT water sampling was restricted to quantification of Cd, Fe and Ni…

Extreme anomalous atmospheric circulation in the West Antarctic Peninsula region in Austral spring and summer 2001/02, and its profound impact on sea ice and biota. Journal of Climate, 2006 (Ref: 12669)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Exceptional sea ice conditions occurred in the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) region from September … 2001 to February 2002, resulting from a strongly positive atmospheric pressure anomaly in the South … Atlantic coupled with strong negative anomalies in the Bellingshausen…

Sea surface temperature–induced cyclogenesis in the Antarctic circumpolar wave. Journal of Geophysical Research, 2006 (Ref: 12674)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

An Antarctic circumpolar wave (ACW) of 3- to-4-year period propagated eastward … around the Southern Ocean in covarying sea surface temperature (SST) and sea level … pressure (SLP) anomalies from 1983 through 1992…

Large-scale vertical momentum, kinetic energy and moisture fluxes in the Antarctic sea-ice region. Boundary-Layer Meteorology, 2005 (Ref: 12671)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

There are very strong thermal gradients between the Antarctic continent and the … sea-ice zone, and between that zone and the ocean to the north. As a result of these contrasts … the sea-ice domain is one of strong cyclogenesis and high cyclone frequency.

Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We examined the fine scale distribution of the … endemic Antarctic collembolan Gomphiocephalus hodgsoni … in Taylor Valley, southern Victoria Land using the … mitochondrial DNA cytochrome c oxidase I gene.

Stereotyped Calling Patterns of a Male Weddell Seal (Leptonychotes weddellii). Aquatic Mammals, 2006 (Ref: 12644)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Underwater calling behaviour between breathing … bouts of a single adult male Weddell seal … (Leptonychotes weddellii) was examined with … respect to call type and timing late in the breeding … season at Davis Station, Antarctica.

Antarctic temperatures over the past two centuries from ice cores. Geophysical Research Letters, 2006 (Ref: 12668)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We present a reconstruction of Antarctic mean surface … temperatures over the past two centuries based on water … stable isotope records from high-resolution, precisely dated … ice cores. Both instrumental and reconstructed temperatures … indicate large interannual to decadal scale variability…

Insignificant change in Antarctic snowfall since the International Geophysical Year. Science, 2006 (Ref: 12647)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Antarctic snowfall exhibits substantial variability over a range of time scales, with consequent … impacts on global sea level and the mass balance of the ice sheets. To assess how snowfall has … affected the thickness of the ice sheets in Antarctica and to provide an extended perspective…
