(Table 1) Stable carbon and nitrogen isotopic ratios of potential prey specie...
Changing patterns of sea-ice distribution and extent have measurable effects on polar marine systems. Beyond the obvious impacts of key-habitat loss, it is unclear how such... -
(Table 1) Biomass and total standing crop of major wet sedge tundra species a...
The global climate is changing rapidly and Arctic regions are showing responses to recent warming. Responses of tundra ecosystems to climate change have been examined primarily... -
(Table 3) Soil temperatures at 10 cm depth after different treatments of wet ...
Wet sedge tundra communities in the High Arctic are valuable sources of forage for several resident and migratory herbivores; however, the effects of grazing on these systems... -

In this paper we present a deuterium excess (d) record from an ice core drilled on a small ice cap in Svalbard in 1997. The core site is located at Lomonosovfonna at 1255 m asl,... -
(Table 1) Surface water chemistry of northern Victoria Land lakes
Concentrations of major ions, silicate and nutrients (total N and P) were measured in samples of surface water from 28 lakes in ice-free areas of northern Victoria Land (East... -
(Table 1) Characteristics of marine snow and ice samples at Barrow, Alaska
We measured light absorption in 42 marine snow, sea ice, seawater, brine, and frost flower samples collected during the OASIS field campaign between February 27 and April 15,... -

In Polar Regions, the extent and dynamics of sea-ice are changing. This affects the ocean productivity which consecutively impacts plankton communities and polar top predators... -
(Table 2) Mercury and selenium concentration in the brain stem of wild polar ...
Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) are exposed to high concentrations of mercury because they are apex predators in the Arctic ecosystem. Although mercury is a potent neurotoxic... -

Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Sites 832 and 833 were drilled in the intra-arc North Aoba Basin of the New Hebrides Island Arc (Vanuatu). High volcanic influxes in the intra-arc... -
(Table T3) Vitrinite reflection of samples obtained from ODP Leg 180 sites
Seventy-one samples from Ocean Drilling Program Leg 180 sites were analyzed for vitrinite reflectance and organic type. The objective was to define maximum paleotemperatures... -
