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…

High-resolution ice-core stable-isotopic records from Antarctica: towards interannual climate reconstruction. Annals of Glaciology, 2005 (Ref: 12351)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Ice-core records are a key resource for reconstructing Antarctic climate. However, a … number of physical processes preclude the simple interpretation of ice-core properties such as oxygen … isotopic ratios in terms of climate variables like temperature or sea-level pressure. We show that welldated…

Comparison of southern elephant seal populations, and observations of a population on a demographic knife-edge. Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2005 (Ref: 12283)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The dynamics of animal populations are determined by several key demographic parameters, which vary over time with resultant changes in the status of the population. When managing … declining populations, the identification of the parameters that drive such change are a high priority…

An Environmental Atlas of East Antarctica. ISCORD 2000 - Proceedings of the sixth International Symposium on Cold Region Development, 2000 (Ref: 9492)
Category 3: Conference paper

The Australian Antarctic Division is responsible for management of 42% of the Antarctic continent, equivalent to 3/4 the size of Australia. Management of such a large and remote area creates many practical difficulties…

Report for "Reconstructing past climates for future prediction: Integrating high-resolution palaeo data for meaningful prediction in the Australian region". Workshop Report for the Australian Greenhouse Office, Australian Academy of Sciences, 27-28 June 2005, 2005 (Ref: 12132)
Category 2: International meeting papers

A two-day workshop was held at the Australian Academy of Sciences to discuss how reconstructions of past climate change might be better applied to modelling future potential climate change. Recommendations included: (1)…

Estimating the breeding populations of black-browed, grey-headed and wandering albatrosses at South Georgia using boat-based digital photography. Third International Albatross and Petrel Conference, 23-27 August 2004, Montevideo, Uruguay., 2004 (Ref: 11664)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

South Georgia (540S; 380W) lies 350 km south of the Polar Front in the south-west Atlantic Ocean. It is a key global location for albatrosses: at the last all-island census in 1986, it was estimated that approximately 92,500 pairs of grey-headed albatrosses (most important global site), 101…

Antarctic Moss: survival beneath the ozone layer Abstracts of the COMBIO2001 conference, 2001 (Ref: 10436)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Seasonal changes in the photosynthetic and photoprotective pigment content of three species of Antarctic moss; Grimmia antarctici, Bryum pseudotriquetrum and Ceratodon purpureus were explored in relation to a range of environmental variables over the growing season in the Windmill Islands…

Control of phytoplankton growth by iron supply and irradiance in the subantarctic Southern Ocean: Experimental results from the SAZ Project Journal of Geophysical Research, 2001 (Ref: 10280)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The influence of irradiance and iron (Fe) supply on phytoplankton processes … was investigated, north (47S, 142E) and south (54S, 142E) of the Subantarctic Front in … austral autumn (March 1998). At both sites, resident cells exhibited nutrient stress (F v / … Fm  0.3).

Photodissociation regions and star formation in the Carina nebula Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2002 (Ref: 10451)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We have obtained wide-field thermal infrared (IR) images of the Carina nebula, using the SPIREX/Abu telescope at the … South Pole. Emission from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) at 3.29um, a tracer of photodissociation … regions (PDRs)…
