Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The 2007 Antarctic ozone hole is reviewed from a variety of … perspectives, making use of various Australian data and analyses. The 2007 ozone hole was relatively modest, particularly … in comparison to that of 2006…

Variability in foraging behaviour of chick-rearing macaroni penguins (Eudyptes chrysolophus) and its relation to diet Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2008 (Ref: 13377)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Flexibility in foraging behaviour and diet are characteristics of many penguin species. While these 2 aspects of foraging ecology are presumably tightly coupled, the connection between … them is rarely examined directly.

Preferred foraging areas of Heard Island albatrosses during chick raising and implications for the management of incidental mortality in fisheries Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 2008 (Ref: 13354)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

1. Incidental mortality in fisheries is causing declines in many albatross populations around the world. To assess potential interactions with regional fisheries satellite tags were used to track black-browed albatrosses (Thalassarche melanophrys) and light-mantled sooty albatrosses…

Decadal-scale variability in the meridional circulation of Southern Ocean Upper Circumpolar Deep Water AGU Western Pacific Geophysics Meeting, Cairns, August 2008, 2008 (Ref: 13743)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

The upwelling of iron-rich Upper Circumpolar Deep Water (UCDW) is thought to be critical for primary production in the Southern Ocean, since iron has been shown to be a limiting factor in what is otherwise a high nutrient region.

Estimate of sea salt sources to Antarctica: An alternative interpretation of the EPICA sea salt record? Geographical Research Abstracts, 2008 (Ref: 13387)
Category 3: Abstract

It has recently been shown that sea ice (via frost flowers) is an important source of sea … salt to coastal Antarctica. This has been used to suggest that the sea salt record from … ice cores may reflect a proxy for sea ice extent around Antarctica. In this study…
