Thermospheric Studies in Antarctica Using Fabry-Perot Spectrometers at Mawson and Davis Stations. 2008 CEDAR Workshop, Midway Utah, USA, 16–21 June 2008, 2008 (Ref: 14897)
Category 3: Conference paper

La Trobe University has recently installed a new all-sky imaging Fabry-Perot spectrometer at Mawson Station, Antarctica. It is capable of recording independent spectra from many tens of locations across the sky simultaneously…

Preliminary results of wave generation from a local scale thermospheric model. 2008 CEDAR Workshop, Midway Utah, USA, 16–21 June 2008, 2008 (Ref: 14894)
Category 3: Conference paper

A simplified three dimensional, time-dependant model of a local region of Earth's thermosphere is being developed to investigate dynamical processes occurring over spatial scales of less than 100 km. Because hydrostatic equilibrium is not enforced in the model…

Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The foraging behaviour of conspecific female Antarctic fur seals (AFS) was compared … simultaneously at 2 breeding colonies at Iles Kerguelen (S Indian Ocean). A remnant colony at IIes … Nuageuses (IN)…

Uncommon or cryptic? Challenges in estimating leopard seal abundance by conventional but state-of-the-art methods Deep-Sea Research 1, 2008 (Ref: 13311)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The method traditionally used to estimate pack-ice seal abundance employs sighting surveys from ships or aircraft to … estimate the number of seals hauled out on the ice, combined with studies of haul-out behaviour to estimate the proportion … of time spent on the ice.
