Composition and succession of dinoflagellates and chrysophytes in the upper fast ice of Davis Station, East Antarctica. Polar Biology, 2005 (Ref: 12225)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Little is known of the wider Antarctic distribution of the upper fast ice community now comprehensively described from McMurdo Sound. We determined the fast ice protist community at Davis Station, East Antarctica and compared it with that of McMurdo Sound. As at McMurdo Sound…

Late Miocene vegetation and palaeoenvironments of the Drygalski Formation, Heard Island, Indian Ocean: evidence from palynology. Antarctic Science, 2005 (Ref: 12168)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Abstract : Well sorted, fine lithic sandstone within the Drygalski Formation at Cape Lockyer on the … southern tip of Heard Island, preserves a diverse terrestrial palynoflora as well as marine diatoms and a few … foraminifera. A combination of these elements suggests a Late Miocene age (10–5 Ma).

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.

Protection against a sub-Antarctic summer - photoprotective and UV-B screening pigments of Heard Island vascular plants. Abstracts from the International Botanical Congress, Vienna, July 2005., 2005 (Ref: 12328)
Category 3: Poster

Two vascular plant species (hair grass Deschampsia antarctica … and herb Acaena magellanica) from sub-Antarctic Heard Island … were sampled on 5 days between December 2003 and February … 2004.

ä18O seasonality of planktonic foraminifera from Southern Ocean sediment traps: Latitudinal gradients and implications for paleoclimate reconstructions. Marine Micropaleontology, 2005 (Ref: 12615)
Authors:
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The oxygen isotopic record obtained from Globigerina bulloides, Globorotalia inflata, and Neogloboquadrina pachyderma … (s.) was analysed for 5 sediment traps moored in the Southern Ocean and Southwest Pacific. The traps extend from Subtropical … to the Polar Frontal environments…

Episodic propagation of a rift on the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica. Geophysical Research Letters, 2005 (Ref: 12648)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We investigate ice shelf rift propagation using a … combination of GPS and seismic measurements near the … tip of an active rift in the Amery Ice Shelf. These … measurements reveal that propagation occurs in episodic … bursts…
