Voyagers 1 and 2 discovered radio emissions at Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus which were similar to those already studied in the Earth's magnetosphere. Terrestrial myriametric radiation, TMR, emanates from electrostatic…Read more on Remote sensing of planetary plasma by means of natural radio emissions

The dielectric stratigraphy of a 130 m ice core from Dolleman Island, Antarctic Peninsula, shows large variations in the dielectric relaxation process and in conductivity. A comparison with the chemical…Read more on Chemical evidence in polar ice cores from dielectric profiling

The continuum theory of mixtures is used as the mathematical framework for a four-constituent model of a natural snowpack. The general conservation equations in point form are derived from appropriate…1 January, 1990
Recent mathematical models treat a natural snow-pack as a mixture body consisting of solid ice grains, liquid water, and a gas made up of air and water vapour. Such a…1 January, 1990
The first observations are presented from Halley, Antarctica, of quasi-periodic (QP)_VLF intensity variations modulated at the frequency of concurrent Pc3 magnetic pulsations. Seen on broadband frequency-time plots, the QP emissions…Read more on Quasi-periodic VLF emissions and concurrent magnetic pulsations seen at L = 4

The vertical distribution of five species of fish larvae and their prey species was studied in late winter and summer at Cumberland East Bay, South Georgia. Prey type varied between…1 January, 1990
Eleven of the 17 freshwater lakes from Signy Island, South Orkney Islands, Antarctica were sampled by snorkel divers. A list of diatom taxa identified from benthic samples is presented. Most…Read more on A preliminary study of benthic diatoms in contrasting lake environments
1 January, 1990
The three-dimensional microstructure of Tolypothrix mats from the bottom of a maritime antarctic lake of Signy Island, South Orkneys, was examined. Samples from mats at two depths, 4 and 6 m,…Read more on The fine structure of an algal mat from a freshwater maritime antarctic lake

Six of the eight species of beetles at South Georgia, the southernmost beetles of the world, were investigated in outdoor arenas with pitfall traps for their diel patterns of locomotory…1 January, 1990
The evolution of magmatic activity along the Pacific margin of southern South America and West Antarctica is considered in terms of the alignment, timing and petrogenesis of calc-alkaline granitoid emplacement.…Read more on The Paleozoic and Andean magmatic arcs of West Antarctica and southern South America

The physiological adaptations required to survive exposure to low temperatures must be of great importance in allowing nematodes to colonize extreme terrestrial environments, such as Antarctic fellfields. Seasonal variation in…1 January, 1990
A joint IAS/Geological Society of London meeting, organized by the British Sedimentological Research Group, was held in London at the Geological Society on 9-11 May 1989, to address the problem…Read more on Sea level changes at active plate margins: processes and products

Oxygen-isotope analysis of well-preserved macrofossils from the Santonian-Campanian of James Ross Island and the Maastrichtian of Vega Island, Antarctica, indicates that cool high-paleolatitude temperatures prevailed during the Late Cretaceous and…1 January, 1990 by Jonathan Watkins
Gut fullness of 3264 Antarctic krill in 38 swarms was estimated using fluorometric determination of chlorophyll a . There was a very wide range of gut fullness (maximum value 3277…1 January, 1990 by Roger Worland, William Block
The body water content and resistance to desiccation were studied in two perimylopid beetles, Perimylops antarcticus and Hydromedion sparsutum, a chironomid midge, Eretmoptera murphyi, and two spiders, Notiomaso australis and…1 January, 1990
Fabry-Perot interferometer measurements of the Doppler shift of the 5577Å O1S emission are used to derive neutral wind velocities at E-region altitudes over Halley, Antarctica (Λ=61°).
