New geochronological constraints on Late Pleistocene glaciation in the southern Cadí Massif, SE Pyrenees

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Cadí Massif (42°17′09″ N, 1°38′11″ E; 2649 m a.s.l.) in the southeastern Pyrenees preserves clear evidence of Late Pleistocene glaciation, although previous research has focused almost exclusively on its northern slope. By contrast, the southern slope has remained largely unexplored.

Screening fungi isolated from historic Discovery Hut on Ross Island, Antarctica for cellulose degradation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
To survive in Antarctica, early explorers of Antarctica's Heroic Age erected wooden buildings and brought in large quantities of supplies. The introduction of wood and other organic materials may have provided new nutrient sources for fungi that were ...

Electron probe microanalysis of extremely fine‐grained tephras: new protocols and insights for analyses at the 1 μ ${\rm{\mu }}$m scale

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Volcanic ash (tephra) provides an important chronostratigraphic framework for correlating Quaternary records. In ultra‐distal ( > $\gt $1500 km) settings such as ice cores and marine sediments, deposits are typically preserved as cryptotephra composed of glass shards ≤ 20 μ $\le 20\,\mu

THE METEOROLOGY OF THE ANTARCTIC

open access: yesMonthly Weather Review, 1921
IN the preface to my book on Antarctic meteorology I wrote, “I was recalled to my work in India when the Terra Nova returned to the Antarctic in January, 1912,” and the reviewer in NATURE of December 23 (p. 528) has very naturally concluded that this meant that I was recalled officially by the Government of India.

Climate‐modulated accumulation and erosion of sediments in the Rodderberg crater basin for the last 439 ka (East Eifel Volcanic Field, Germany)

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glacial/interglacial climate cycles since marine isotope stage (MIS) 12 influenced the discontinuous and 73 m‐long sediment record from the volcanic crater of Rodderberg in the East Eifel Volcanic Field, Germany. High‐resolution grain size and geochemical data have been valued by numerical dating techniques (radiocarbon and luminescence dating,

Constraints and trade-offs in climate-dependent adaptation: energy budgets and growth in a latitudinal cline

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2005
Characteristics of temperature-dependent metabolic adaptation as well as their implications for associated changes in energy budgets are analysed based on comparisons of fish and invertebrates from various latitudinal clines in northern and southern ...

Introducing a ramped pyrolysis/oxidation‐14CO2 analysis system operated with mobile molecular sieve traps

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract A novel instrument for the thermal degradation of sedimentary organic matter was set up at the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) in Bremerhaven, Germany, with the aim of enabling Ramped Pyrolysis/Oxidation‐14C analysis as direct CO2 gas measurement.

Mesozooplankton assemblages in two bays in the Beagle Channel (Argentina) during January, 2001

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2005
This paper describes the composition and abundance of mesozooplankton of Bahía Ushuaia and Bahía Golondrina. These small bays are located in the northern Beagle Channel. Sampling was carried out from January 20 to 23, 2001 and samples were collected from

Property Rights Entrepreneurship: The Drive for Product, Asset, and Resource Excludability

open access: yesManagerial and Decision Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Property rights are foundational to market economies, and entrepreneurial activity depends heavily on the excludability afforded by property rights. Yet, the role of entrepreneurs in shaping the evolution of property rights has been so thoroughly taken for granted that it often vanishes from analyses.

Review of antarctic landfast sea ice observations

open access: yesShui kexue jinzhan, 2013
Variations of Antarctic landfast sea ice are not only a direct indicator of Antarctic climate change at a local scale,but also an ideal parameter for climate model evaluation.
