Comparison of GPS results from different processing of ambiguity parameters - A case study in the Amery Ice Shelf region, East Antarctica. International Journal of Geoinformatics., 2005 (Ref: 12596)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

This paper is an extension of the paper by King et al. (2000), where two techniques were described to … process GPS data collected on a floating Antarctic ice shelf. King et al. (2000)…

A comparison of the short term effects of diesel fuel and lubricant oils on Antarctic benthic microbial communities. Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2005 (Ref: 12091)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The effects of diesel fuel and three lubricating oils on microbial communities in marine sediment were investigated in a field experiment at Casey Station, Antarctica. Sediment from a pristine site in Antarctica was treated with either Special Antarctic Blend (SAB) diesel, a synthetic lubricant…

A Cenozoic diffuse alkaline magmatic province (DAMP) in the southwest Pacific without rift or plume origin. Geochemistry Geophysics Geosystems, 2005 (Ref: 12625)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Common geological, geochemical, and geophysical characteristics of continental fragments of East … Gondwana and adjacent oceanic lithosphere define a long-lived, low-volume, diffuse alkaline magmatic … province (DAMP) encompassing the easternmost part of the Indo-Australian Plate, West Antarctica…

A frazil ice model for embedding within three-dimensional ocean circulation models. Abstracts from the IGS Symposium on Sea Ice, Dunedin, New Zealand., 2005 (Ref: 12586)
Category 3: Abstract

There is much speculation over the role of frazil ice in both ocean cavities under ice shelves and in the adjacent ocean where Ice Shelf Water (ISW) plumes are found. Traditionally three-dimensional ocean circulation models have ignored this slurry of small, thin…

The International Trans-Antarctic Scientific Expedition (ITASE): an overview Annals of Glaciology, 2005 (Ref: 12352)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

From its original formulation in 1990 the International Trans-Antarctic Scientific Expedition … (ITASE) has had as its primary aim the collection and interpretation of a continent-wide array of … environmental parameters assembled through the coordinated efforts of scientists from several nations.

Location and DGGE methodology can influence interpretation of field experimental studies on the response to hydrocarbons by Antarctic benthic microbial community. Antarctic Science, 2005 (Ref: 12147)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

A field experiment investigating the effect of oil contamination on benthic microbial communities was conducted near Casey Station, East Antarctica.

Benthic diatom communities as indicators of anthropogenic metal contamination at Casey Station, Antarctica Journal of Paleolimnology, 2005 (Ref: 11938)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Prior to environmental legislation in the 1980s, anthropogenic waste in Antarctica was often deposited into … landfill sites or into the sea. This resulted in metal contamination in terrestrial and near-shore marine … environments. In this study…

Cascading-driven upwelling in submarine canyons at high latitudes. Journal of Geophysical Research, 2005 (Ref: 12463)
Authors:
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Numerical simulations and laboratory experiments confirm my initial research hypothesis stating that dense water cascading down a submarine canyon induces localised upwelling of deeper water onto the shelf. This process, not described before…

Interannual variations of water mass volumes in the Southern Ocean. Journal of Atmospheric and Ocean Science, 2005 (Ref: 12399)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Water mass volumes in the Southern Ocean are evaluated in a section between … Antarctica and Tasmania for the period 1991–1996. Antarctic Bottom Water … consisted of Weddell Sea Bottom Water and water formed along the Ade´ lie … Coast.

Handling intensity and the short- and long-term survival of Elephant Seals: Addressing and quantifying research effects on wild animals Ambio, 2005 (Ref: 12461)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

This study addresses the consequences of repeated … human handling on the survival of an endangered phocid, the southern elephant seal and the implications for wildlife … research. Southern elephant seal pups were repeatedly … handled during the first six weeks of their lives.

DNA sequencing and genetic diversity of the 18S–26S nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacers (ITS) in nine Antarctic moss species Antarctic Science, 2005 (Ref: 12452)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We have sequenced the 18S–26S nuclear ribosomal DNA ITS region from the genome of nine … different moss species from the Ross Sea region of Antarctica. This relatively quick and simple technique … enables these species to be readily distinguished, facilitating their taxonomic identification.
