Infrared astronomy. In the heat of the night. The 1999 Ellery Lecture. Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia, 2000 (Ref: 9623)
Authors:
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Infrared astronomy has made remarkable progress over the past quarter century. This paper, which is a brief summary of the 1999 Ellery Lecture, outlines the importance of … the infrared, traces some of the key Australian developments in the field…

Antarctic bryophytes and global climate change: Surface reflectance of Antarctic bryophytes and protection from UV and visible light. Abstracts of the COMBIO 2000 conference, 2000 (Ref: 10166)
Category 3: Conference paper

As well as determining the amount of solar radiation available for photosynthesis, the surface reflectance and absorptance characteristics of plants are their first defence against damaging effects of solar radiation. The solar spectrum can be damaging to plants in many ways. At shorter wavelengths…

Sublithic bacteria associated with Antarctic quartz stones Antarctic Science, 2000 (Ref: 9267)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Quartz stone sublithic cyanobacterial communities are common throughout the Vestfold Hills, Eastern Antarctica (68 degrees S 78 degrees E) contributing biomass in areas otherwise devoid of any type of vegetation. In this study…

Using a multidisciplinary ecosystem approach to the study of cetaceans in the Southern Ocean Paper SC/49/SH5 submitted to the Scientific Committee, International Whaling Commission IWC49, September 1997, 1997 (Ref: 9314)
Category 3: Conference paper

A line transect survey of the waters off East Antarctica (80°E-150°E; CCAMLR Division 58.4.1; IWC Areas IV &V) was conducted during January to March 1996 on the 5,000t icebreaker RV Aurora Australis. Cruise determining programs were a hydroacoustic survey to estimate Antarctic krill…

Preliminary results of a Southern Ocean cetacean sightings survey in Areas IV and V Paper SC/48/SH22 submitted to the Scientific Committee, International Whaling Commission IWC 48, May 1996, 1996 (Ref: 9312)
Category 3: Conference paper

During the austral summer 1995/95 a cetacean sightings line transect survey was conducted on a platform of opportunity provided by Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions krill hydroacoustic and oceanography survey of CCAMLR Division 58.4 (parts of IWC Area IV & V).

Early steroid sulfurisation in surface sediments of a permanently stratified lake (Ace Lake, Antarctica) Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 2000 (Ref: 9305)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Surface sediments (0-25 cm) from Ace Lake (eastern Antarctica), a saline euxinic lake, were analyzed to study the early incorporation of reduced inorganic sulfur species into organic matter. The apolar fractions were shown to consist predominantly of dimeric (poly)sulfide linked C-27-C-29 steroids.

Vegetation abundance and diversity in relation to soil nutrients and soil water content in Vestfold Hills, East Antarctica Antarctic Science, 2001 (Ref: 10164)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Eighteen paired sites (adjacent to vs away from sea bird nests) and six transects (downslope of nests) across Vestfold Hills were sampled for vegetation, soil nutrients, soil water content and percent rock cover. Three moss and 17 lichen species were recorded…

Disturbance of emperor penguin Aptenodytes forsteri chicks by helicopters. Polar Biology, 1999 (Ref: 8851)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Creching emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) chicks were exposed to two overflights by a Sikorsky S-76, twin engine helicopter at 1000 m (3300 ft), a current operational guideline of the Australian Antarctic Division for helicopter activity in Antarctica.

Coordinated observations of forced and resonant field line oscillations at high-latitudes. ANARE Reports, 2001 (Ref: 10056)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

In this paper we examine the geomagnetic signatures of solar wind impulses using magnetometer array data, a bistatic HF radar, and a co-located imaging riometer. The impulses were associated with 1.6mHz magnetic pulsations that were observed across a wide range of latitudes.

HF Doppler oscillations due to mixed ULF wave modes. ANARE Reports, 2001 (Ref: 10055)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

HF signals that propagate via the ionosphere may exhibit Doppler shifts due to a number of processes that give rise to a time dependent refractive index. This paper examines the role of ULF (1–100mHz) wave energy, incident from the magnetosphere, in causing Doppler shifts in HF signals.
