Continuous High-Frequency Dissolved O2/Ar Measurements by Equilibrator Inlet Mass Spectrometry Analytical Chemistry, 2009 (Ref: 13919)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The oxygen (O2) concentration in the surface ocean is influenced by biological and physical processes. With concurrent measurements of argon (Ar), which has similar solubility properties as oxygen…

Gravity wave and orographic wave activity observed around the Antarctic and Arctic stratospheric vortices by the COSMIC GPS-RO satellite constellation Journal of Geophysical Research, 2009 (Ref: 13918)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Polar stratospheric gravity wave activity is studied using data from the Constellation … Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere and Climate (COSMIC) Global … Positioning System Radio Occultation (GPS-RO). Waves with vertical wavelengths of … 2 to 15 km are considered.

Deglaciation and weathering of Larsemann Hills, East Antarctica Antarctic Science, 2009 (Ref: 13916)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

In situ cosmogenic 10Be exposure dating, radiocarbon determinations, salt and sediment geochemistry, and rock weathering observations indicate that parts of Larsemann Hills, East Antarctica have been subaerially exposed throughout much of the last glacial cycle…

Recent and future environmental change in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean: their role in our dynamic future 6th Australasian Environmental Law Enforcement and Regulators Conference, 15-17 September, 2009, Wrest Point, Hobart. Plenary Presentation, Conference Handbook, 2009 (Ref: 13914)
Authors:
Category 3: Abstract

Australia and New Zealand have interests in, and some responsibilities for, a vast area of the Southern Ocean and the Antarctic continent to our south. These regions are integral components of the Earth system, directly coupled to the climate system, global sea level, biogeochemical cycles…

Thunderstorm-associated responses in the vertical motion of the mid-latitude F-region ionosphere Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 2009 (Ref: 13889)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Mid-latitude Digisonde Doppler velocities, auroral electrojet (AE) indices and cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning strokes during August 2003–2004 were used to study the perturbations in the F-region … vertical drift associated with terrestrial thunderstorms. A superposed epoch analysis (SEA)…

Methanesulphonic acid loss during ice-core storage: recommendations based on a new diffusion coefficient Journal of Glaciology, 2009 (Ref: 13885)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

ABSTRACT. The loss of methanesulphonic acid (MSA) from stored ice cores can be significant over … typical storage times, with diffusion to the ice-core surface controlling the loss.

Category 3: Abstract

The CRAC-ICE project aims at monitoring the calving of the Mertz Glacier tongue in East … Antarctica, an ice tongue which extends 140km from its grounding line. Legresy et al. (2004)…

The application of lead isotope ratios in the Antarctic macroalga Iridaea cordata as a contaminant monitoring tool Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2009 (Ref: 13879)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Lead (Pb) isotope ratios were measured in the marine macroalga Iridaea cordata collected from four locations … in the Windmill Islands, East Antarctica. Based on the masses of thalli collected, samples analysed in … this study were likely to be a mixture of one and two year old thalli.
