Sampling the ground layer of the atmosphere at Dome C using fast sonic-anemometers Proceedings of SPIE 7012, 70124B1-5, 2008 (Ref: 13771)
Category 3: Conference paper

The ground layer turbulence at Dome C is the cause for more than 90% of the total turbulence column. While the height … of this layer has been currently measured to be approximately 30m, no long term statistics is available from this part of … the atmosphere.

Gattini: a multisite campaign for the measurement of sky brightness in Antarctica Proceedings of SPIE 7012, 7012261-10, 2008 (Ref: 13766)
Category 3: Conference paper

We present the Gattini project: a multisite campaign to measure the optical sky properties above the two high altitude … Antarctic astronomical sites of Dome C and Dome A. The Gattini-DomeC project, part of the IRAIT site testing … campaign and ongoing since January 2006…

A photosynthetic alveolate closely related to apicomplexan parasites Nature, 2008 (Ref: 13525)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Many parasitic Apicomplexa, such as Plasmodium falciparum, contain an unpigmented chloroplast remnant termed the … apicoplast, which is a target for malaria treatment. However, no close relative of apicomplexans with a functional … photosynthetic plastid has yet been described.

Varying scales of baleen whale remote acoustic monitoring: tracking of individual singer movements on the Great Barrier Reef to seasonality of populations in the Antarctic. , 2005 (Ref: 12161)
Category 3: Conference paper

Remote acoustic moorings can be used to investigate baleen whales at vastly different temporal and spatial scales. On one end of the spectrum…

Site testing Dome A, Antarctica Ground-based and Airborne Telescopes, Proceedings of the SPIE, 2006 (Ref: 12899)
Category 3: Conference paper

Recent data have shown that Dome C, on the Antarctic plateau, is an exceptional site for astronomy, with atmospheric conditions superior to those at any existing mid-latitude site. Dome C, however, may not be the best site on the Antarctic plateau for every kind of astronomy.

Ground-layer turbulence profiling using a lunar SHABAR Ground-based and Airborne Instrumentation for Astronomy, Proceedings of the SPIE, 2006 (Ref: 12897)
Category 3: Conference paper

Profiling the ground layer turbulence for daytime seeing applications using an array of photodiodes has been documented … in literature, in particular by Beckers who coined the term “SHABAR” for the instrument, short for Shadow Band … Ranger.

The Gattini cameras for optical sky brightness measurements in Antarctica Ground-based and Airborne Telescopes, Proceedings of the SPIE, 2006 (Ref: 12896)
Category 3: Conference paper

The Gattini cameras are two site testing instruments for the measurement of optical sky brightness, large area cloud … cover and auroral detection of the night sky above the high altitude Dome C site in Antarctica. The cameras have been in … operation since January 2006.

Marine Biodiversity and Climate Change: Assessing and predicting the influence of climatic change using intertidal rocky shore biota. Marine Biological Association Occasional Publications, 2005 (Ref: 12950)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The MarClim project was a four year multi-partner funded project created to investigate the effects of climatic warming on marine biodiversity. In particular the project aimed to use intertidal species, whose abundances had been shown to fluctuate with changes in climatic conditions…

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…

Use of passive acoustic techniques to assess relative distribution and seasonality of Antarctic marine mammals. Abstracts of the SCAR Open Science Conference, Hobart, 12-14 July 2006., 2006 (Ref: 12502)
Category 3: Poster

The efficient sound carrying properties of the ocean and the vocal nature of many marine … mammals provide an excellent means to monitor these often difficult to study animals.

Variations of carbon remineralisation in the Southern Ocean illustrated by the Baxs proxy. Deep-Sea Research, 2005 (Ref: 11927)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We present water column profiles of excess particulate Ba (Baxs, an estimate of biogenic Ba from total particulate Ba … after small corrections for lithogenic Ba) along a transect in the Australian sector of the Southern Ocean from the … Subantarctic Zone (SAZ) to the Sea Ice Zone during spring…

Seasonal change in foraging areas and dive depths of breeding king penguins at Heard Island. Polar Biology, 1999 (Ref: 9485)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The seasonal variation in the foraging behaviour of king penguins Aptenodytes patagonicus was studied at Heard Island (53°05S, 73°30E) during 1992/93. On seven occasions throughout the breeding cycle…

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.
