Utilizing the ASPeCt sea ice thickness data set to evaluate a global coupled sea ice–ocean model. Journal of Geophysical Research, 2004 (Ref: 12649)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Simulated sea ice thickness in the ORCA2-LIM coupled sea ice–ocean model is … compared with thicknesses from the Antarctic Sea Ice Processes and Climate (ASPeCt) database. We find a qualitative agreement of the large-scale patterns of ice thickness … distribution.

Degradation of nonane by bacteria from Antarctic marine sediment. Polar Biology, 2004 (Ref: 12322)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Abstract A microbial enrichment culture tolerant of … petroleum hydrocarbons was developed from sediment … collected near Casey Station, Antarctica. To select coldadapted … microbes that would degrade diesel, enrichments … were cultured at 0°C during six successive … transfers to fresh medium…

Late Pleistocene and Holocene history of Lake Terrasovoje, Amery Oasis, East Antarctica, and its climatic and environmental implications. Journal of Paleolimnology, 2004 (Ref: 12533)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

A 5.52 m long sediment sequence was recovered from Lake Terrasovoje, Amery Oasis, East Antarctica, in … order to reconstruct the regional environmental history. The basal sediments, which are dominated by … glacial and glaciofluvial clastic sediments…

The diatom flora and limnology of lakes in the Amery Oasis, East Antarctica. Polar Biology, 2004 (Ref: 12532)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The diatom flora of three lakes in the ice-free … Amery Oasis, East Antarctica, was studied. Two of the … lakes are meltwater reservoirs, Terrasovoje Lake (31 m … depth) and Radok Lake (362 m depth), while Beaver … Lake (>435 m depth) is an epishelf lake.

Mosses surviving on the edge: Origins, genetic diversity, and mutation in Antarctica. Molecular Systematics of Bryophytes. Monographs in Systematic Botany from the Missouri Botanical Garden, 2004 (Ref: 12453)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Mosses are the dominant plant species in continental Antarctica, where they sparsely colonize the limited stony … coastal areas not permanently covered with snow and ice. The few species of mosses present in Antarctica live ‘‘on the … edge’’ for plant life…

Biomass of Antarctic krill in the Scotia Sea in January/February 2000 and its use in revising an estimate of precautionary yield. Deep-Sea Research II, 2004 (Ref: 12426)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

In January and February 2000, a collaborative survey designed to assess the biomass of Antarctic krill across the … Scotia Sea was conducted aboard research vessels from Japan, Russia, the UK and the USA using active acoustic and … net sampling. Survey design, sampling protocols…

This paper summarizes the results of krill demographic studies from the Commission for the Conservation of … Antarctic Marine Living Resources 2000 Survey—a large-scale krill survey across the Scotia Sea conducted in January/ … February 2000.

Variation in the biomass density and demography of Antarctic krill in the vicinity of the South Shetland Islands during the 1999/2000 austral summer. Deep-Sea Research II, 2004 (Ref: 12424)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Vessels from Japan, Peru, and the USA conducted four sequential surveys designed to estimate the biomass density … and demography of Antarctic krill in the vicinity of the South Shetland Islands between late December 1999 and early … March 2000.

Widening the net: spatio-temporal variability in the krill population structure across the Scotia Sea. Deep-Sea Research II, 2004 (Ref: 12423)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Resolving the spatial variability in the population structure of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) requires a synoptic … sample, as in the design of the CCAMLR 2000 Survey. However, this approach is not appropriate for assessing … temporal variability.
