An estimate of the population sizes of Black-browed (Thalassarche melanophrys) and Grey-headed (T. chrysostoma) Albatrosses breeding in the Diego Ramírez Archipelago, Chile Emu, 2007 (Ref: 13306)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

The Diego Ramírez Archipelago, Chile, is the southernmost albatross breeding ground in the world and holds … globally important numbers of Black-browed (Thalassarche melanophrys) and Grey-headed (T. chrysostoma) Albatrosses. A census in the Diego Ramírez Archipelago has been attempted only once…

New constraints on the structure and dynamics of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet from the joint IPY/Ice Bridge ICECAP aerogeophysical project. Abstract C22B-05 presented at 2010 Fall Meeting, AGU, San Francisco, Calif., 13-17 Dec., 2010 (Ref: 14275)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Ice within marine basins of East Antarctica, and their outlets, represent the ultimate limit on sea level change. The region of East Antarctica between the Ross Sea and Wilkes Land hosts a number of major basin, but has been poorly understood. Long range aerogeophysics from US…

Effect of line shooter and mainline tension on the sink rates of pelagic longlines and implications for seabird interactions. Acquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 2010 (Ref: 14155)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

1. The likelihood that seabirds will be hooked and drowned in longline fisheries increases when baited hooks sink slowly. Fishermen target different fishing depths by setting the mainline through a line shooter, which controls the tension (or slackness) in the line.

Subglacial hydrology of the Aurora Basin, East Antarctica, from the geophysical investigations of the ICECAP Project. Proceedings of the SCAR 4th Open Science Conference, Buenos Aires, August 2010, (CD-ROM). Abstract number 847., 2010 (Ref: 14200)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

Aerogeophysical data obtained by the ICECAP project yield new insights into the basal … topography and evidence of new subglacial lakes within the Aurora Subglacial Basin, East … Antarctica. The new bed elevation map allows us to consider the flow paths of subglacial water.

Extent, geomorphology and geophysics of the Aurora and Wilkes subglacial basins East Antarctica: Influences on ice sheet architecture. Proceedings of the SCAR 4th Open Science Conference, Buenos Aires, August 2010, (CD-ROM). Abstract number 855., 2010 (Ref: 14199)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

The Aurora and Wilkes Subglacial Basins are major features of East Antarctica, containing significant regions below sea level. Before the International Polar Year (2007-9), the … extent and geology of the basins were poorly constrained by geophysical data. The IPY project…

Preferred foraging areas of Heard Island albatrosses during chick raising and implications for the management of incidental mortality in fisheries Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 2008 (Ref: 13354)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

1. Incidental mortality in fisheries is causing declines in many albatross populations around the world. To assess potential interactions with regional fisheries satellite tags were used to track black-browed albatrosses (Thalassarche melanophrys) and light-mantled sooty albatrosses…

Comparing Present and Paleo Ice Flow in the Amundsen Sea, West Antarctica First Antarctic Climate Evolution Symposium, Granada, Spain, 7-11 September 2009, 2009 (Ref: 13923)
Category 3: Poster

Reconstructing and modeling extent and dynamics of ice sheets is crucial in … understanding and predicting the evolution of ice sheets. Key to ice sheet dynamics are ice … streams, which drain most of the ice from the ice sheet interior to the ice shelves, where most of … the ice is lost.

Unveiling the Aurora Subglacial Basin: The IPY Season of the ICECAP Project First Antarctic Climate Evolution Symposium, Granada, Spain, 7-11 September 2009, 2009 (Ref: 13924)
Category 3: Verbal presentation

The ICECAP project represents a return to the long-range, internationally collaborative … Antarctic aerogeophysics last seen in the 1970’s SPRI/NSF/TUD project. ICECAP is a joint … IPY collaboration between the University of Texas at Austin (funded by NSF), the University of … Edinburgh…

Coupled Airborne Radar Sounding and Gravity for establishing Bathymetry and Evaluating Melt/Freeze Distribution beneath Ice Shelves: The Ross Ice Shelf and Totten Glacier, Antarctica First Antarctic Climate Evolution Symposium, Granada, Spain, 7-11 September, 2009, 2009 (Ref: 13922)
Category 3: Poster

Sub-ice shelf bathymetry remains a poorly known but important boundary condition for … models of sub-ice shelf circulation and the distribution of basal melt and accretion. Surfacebased … seismic surveys are traditionally used to determine sub-ice shelf bathymetry…

Methanesulphonic acid loss during ice-core storage: recommendations based on a new diffusion coefficient Journal of Glaciology, 2009 (Ref: 13885)
Category 1: Peer-reviewed literature

ABSTRACT. The loss of methanesulphonic acid (MSA) from stored ice cores can be significant over … typical storage times, with diffusion to the ice-core surface controlling the loss.
