Coordinated Movements Prevent Jamming in an Emperor Penguin Huddle. PLoS ONE, 2011 (Ref: 14719)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

For Emperor penguins (Aptenodytes forsteri), huddling is the key to survival during the Antarctic winter. Penguins in a … huddle are packed so tightly that individual movements become impossible, reminiscent of a jamming transition in … compacted colloids. It is crucial, however…

High resolution climate proxy records from Australian Antarctic ice core research. Australia New Zealand Climate Forum, Hobart, September 2010, 2010 (Ref: 14253)
Category 3: Conference paper

The Antarctic ice sheet holds a wealth of information on past climate variability, locked away in successive layers buried by further snowfall. In the coastal regions of Antarctica, snowfall rates can be high enough to hold layers of climate data on monthly, or better, time resolution.

Impacts of ocean acidification and temperature increase on juvenile Antarctic heart urchin Abatus nimrodi. SCAR Open Science Conference, Buenos Aires, Argentina, 3-6 August 2010., 2010 (Ref: 14677)
Category 3: Conference paper

Effects of ocean acidification in conjunction with temperature change warrants investigation as little is known about potential interactive effects of these parameters on Antarctic benthic species.

Effects of solar ultraviolet radiation on terrestrial ecosystems. Patterns, mechanisms, and interactions with climate change. Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences, 2011 (Ref: 14682)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Ultraviolet radiation (UV) is a minor fraction of the solar spectrum reaching the ground surface. In this assessment we summarize the results of previous work on the effects of the UV-B component (280-315 nm) on terrestrial ecosystems…

Using genetic algorithms to calibrate a dimethylsulfide production model in the Arctic Ocean. Chinese Journal of Oceanology and Limnology, 2010 (Ref: 14670)
Authors:
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The global climate is intimately connected to changes in the polar oceans. The variability of … sea ice coverage affects deep-water formations and large-scale thermohaline circulation patterns. The … polar radiative budget is sensitive to sea-ice loss and consequent surface albedo changes.

Persistent organohalogen contaminant burdens in Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) from the eastern Antarctic sector: A baseline study Science of the Total Environment, 2008 (Ref: 13556)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

A baseline for persistent organohalogen compound (POC) accumulation in the Antarctic … keystone species, Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) has been established for a 50¡ã longitudinal … range of the eastern Antarctic sector. Samples of adult krill…

Evidence for basal water generation and transport in the Aurora Subglacial Basin, East Antarctica. Geophysical Research Abstracts, European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 2011, 3-8 April, Vienna, Austria, 2011 (Ref: 14632)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Data from a new regional airborne geophysical survey (ICECAP) has transformed our appreciation of the topography … and glaciology associated with the Aurora Subglacial Basin in East Antarctica. Using these data in conjunction … with numerical ice sheet modelling…

Protists in the marine ice of the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica. Polar Biology, 2006 (Ref: 12511)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Abstract Samples of marine ice were collected from … the Amery Ice Shelf, a large embayed ice shelf in East … Antarctica, during the Austral summer of 2001–2002. The samples came from a site ~90 km from the iceberg … calving front of the shelf…

Ocean circulation and ice-ocean interaction beneath the Amery Ice Shelf, Antarctica. Journal of Geophysical Research, 2001 (Ref: 10313)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

Simulations of the ocean dynamics in the cavity under the Amery Ice Shelf, Antarctica, were carried out using a three-dimensional numerical ocean model. Two different boundary conditions were used to describe the open ocean barotropic exchange at the ice front.

Interhemispheric Dynamical Coupling to the Southern Mesosphere and Lower Thermosphere. XXV International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG) General Assembly, Melbourne, Australia, 28 June-7 July, 2011, 2011 (Ref: 14577)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Observations and modelling described by Becker and Fritts [Ann Geophys, 24, 1175-1188, 2006] suggests that wintertime planetary wave activity, and the gravity-wave filtering … associated with it…
