A 4-decade record of elevation change of the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica Journal of Geophysical Research, 2009 (Ref: 13732)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We report on long-term surface elevation changes of the central Amery Ice Shelf … (AIS) by comparing elevation records spanning 4 decades (1968–2007). We use elevation … records acquired with the following methods: optical leveling (1968–1969); ERS … radar altimetry (1992–2003); GPS (1995–2006)…

Stability of Antarctic Bottom Water formation to freshwater fluxes and implications for global climate Journal of Climate, 2008 (Ref: 13446)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The stability of Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) to freshwater (FW) perturbations is investigated in a … coupled climate model of intermediate complexity. It is found that AABW is stable to surface freshwater … fluxes greater in volume and rate to those that permanently “shut down”…

A study of the diatom-dominated microplankton summer assemblages in coastal waters from Terre Adélie to the Mertz Glacier, East Antarctica (139°E-145°E) Polar Biology, 2008 (Ref: 13524)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

In January 2004 the microplankton community … from the coastal waters of Terre Ade´lie and Georges V Land … (139!E–145!E) was studied. Results showed a diatomdominated … bloom with chlorophyll a levels averaging … 0.64 lg l-1 at 5 m depth (range 0.21–1.57 lg l-1).

Cumulative solar irradiance and potential large-scale sea ice algae distribution off East Antarctica (30°E-150°E) Polar Biology, 2009 (Ref: 13557)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We present a computational model of the largescale … cumulative light exposure of sea ice in the Southern … Ocean off East Antarctica (30E–150E). The model uses … remotely sensed or modelled sea ice concentration, snow … depth over sea ice, and solar irradiance data…

Biological invasions in the Antarctic: extent, impacts and implications. Biological Reviews, 2005 (Ref: 12451)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Alien microbes, fungi, plants and animals occur on most of the sub-Antarctic islands and some parts of the … Antarctic continent. These have arrived over approximately the last two centuries, coincident with human … activity in the region. Introduction routes have varied…

Source regions for Antarctic MLT non-migrating semidiurnal tides Geophysical Research Letters, 2009 (Ref: 13723)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Source regions for the westward propagating zonal … wavenumber one and three components of the semidiurnal … tide observed in the summer mesosphere and lower … thermosphere over Antarctica are identified by correlating … local tidal variations with global planetary wave one activity … in the…
