The influence of polar-cap convection on the geoelectric field at Vostok, Antarctica Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 2003 (Ref: 10749)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Vertical geoelectric eld measurements at Vostok,Antarctica (78:5ºS ;107ºE;corrected geomagnetic latitude,83:4ºS) made during 1998 are compared with both Weimer (1996)and IZMEM (1994)model calculations of the solar-wind-induced, polar-cap potential di erences with respect to the station.

Perturbations in the Southern Ocean ecosystem due to exploitation: evidence from a top level predator, the crabeater seal. Conference Program & Abstract Book: Dynamic Planet 2005, Cairns, Australia, August 22-26, 2005., 2005 (Ref: 12145)
Authors:
Category 3: Abstract

A popular hypothesis established in the 1980s proposed that the decline in whale populations in the Southern Ocean due to exploitation in the early to middle 20th century resulted in a ‘krill surplus’. It was proposed that other krill predators were released from a food-limited state…

A new approach to the solution of the linear mixing model for a single isotope: application to the case of an opportunistic predator Oecologia, 2005 (Ref: 12014)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Abstract Mixing models are used to determine diets … where the number of prey items are greater than one, however, the limitation of the linear mixing method is … the lack of a unique solution when the number of potential … sources is greater than the number (n) of isotopic … signatures +1.

The basal speed of valley glaciers: an inverse approach. Journal of Glaciology, 2004 (Ref: 11875)
Authors:
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Geophysical inverse methods are used to calculate the basal motion of a glacier. They are applied to a one-dimensional forward model that can be linearized to make the analysis simpler. The inverse method finds a solution that fits the data within a given error.
