Firn-air del15N in modern polar sites and glacial-interglacial ice: a model-data mismatch during glacial periods in Antarctica? Quaternary Science Reviews, 2006 (Ref: 12243)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The phase lag between atmospheric composition (air bubbles) and temperature (water isotopes) can be quantified from ice cores provided that the age difference between entrapped air and the surrounding air can be correctly estimated. This difference depends on the lock-in depth (LID)…

Ambient UV radiation levels negatively affect the endemic Antarctic moss, Grimmia antarctici. Abstracts from the International Botanical Congress, Vienna, July 2005, 2005 (Ref: 12327)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Over recent decades, Antarctic plants have been exposed to the … largest relative increase in UV-B exposure as a result of ozone … depletion. Open-sided plexiglass screens were used to reduce UV … levels by 77% over turves of the endemic Antarctic bryophyte, Grimmia antarctici…

Distribution of marine ice beneath the Amery Ice Shelf. Geophysical Research Letters, 2001 (Ref: 9884)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

We present a map of the distribution of marine ice accreted to the base of the Amery Ice Shelf (AIS), East Antarctica. This map is derived by converting a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of the AIS generated from satellite radar altimeter data to an ice thickness map, assuming hydrostatic equilibrium…

Antarctic moss coping with the ozone hole. Proceedings of the 12th International Congress on Photosynthesis, 2001 (Ref: 10165)
Category 3: Conference paper

Natural variability in surface reflectance was studied in 3 species of moss (Grimmia antarctici, Bryum pseudotriquetrum and Ceratodon purpureus) in continental Antarctica. The moss community is well developed in Wilkes Land, eastern Antarctica…

Antarctic bryophytes and global climate change: Seasonal patterns in tolerance of desiccation. Journal of Experimental Botany (Supplement)., 2001 (Ref: 10170)
Category 3: Poster

Bryophytes (mosses and liverworts) are sensitive indicators of environmental change and with climate change expected to occur first at high latitudes, Antarctic bryophytes are ideal study systems for the detection of climate change effects.

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…

Antarctic bryophytesand global climate change: Seasonal patterns in tolerance of desiccation for three moss species from the Windmill Islands, East Antarctica. Com Bio 2000. Australian Society of Plant Physiologists Annual Meeting. Published Abstracts. Wellington, New Zealand., December 11-14, 2000., 2000 (Ref: 10168)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Bryophytes are sensitive indicators of environmental change and with climate change being expected to occur first at high latitudes, Antarctic bryophytes are ideal study systems for the detection of climate change effects.

Antarctic iceberg drift velocity derived from scatterometer image series. Proceedings of IGARSS`98, Seattle, WA, USA. 6-10 July 1998, 1998 (Ref: 8826)
Authors:
Category 3: Abstract

The 500 km wide swath of the right-looking ERS Wind scatterometer and the orbital geometry allows measurement of the microwave backscatter of all the Antarctic region between latitudes 55°S and 80°S each three days.
