Origin of the Anomalous Subantarctic Mantle: Message from the Kerguelen Large Igneous Province and Macquarie Ridge Complex by Jiang, Qiang

“…This thesis uses 40Ar/39Ar geochronology, geochemical analyses, and a series of other techniques to study the age and composition of basaltic rocks from the Kerguelen large igneous province and Macquarie Ridge Complex in the Subantarctic region. The results provided new insights into the tectonic, geochemical, and environmental significance of these exceptional magmatism, as well as the chemical heterogeneity and geodynamics of the Subantarctic mantle.…”

Past and present distribution, densities and movements of blue whales Balaenoptera musculus in the Southern Hemisphere and northern Indian Ocean by Branch, T., Stafford, K., Palacios, D., Allison, C., Bannister, J., Burton, C., Cabrera, E., Carlson, C., Galletti Vernazzani, B., Gill, P., Hucke-Gaete, R., Jenner, K., Jenner, M., Matsuoka, K., Mikhalev, Y., Miyashita, T., Morrice, M., Nishiwaki, S., Sturrock, V., Tormosov, D., Anderson, R., Baker, A., Best, P., Borsa, P., Brownell, R., Childerhouse, S., Findlay, K., Gerrodette, T., Ilangakoon, A., Joergensen, M., Kahn, B., Ljungblad, D., Maughan, B., McCauley, Robert, Mckay, S., Norris, T., Rankin, S., Samaran, F., Thiele, D., Van Waerebeek, K., Warneke, R.

“…At least four groupings are evident: northern Indian Ocean, from Madagascar to the Subantarctic, Indonesia to western and southern Australia, and from New Zealand northwards to the equator. …”

Roles of biological and physical processes in driving seasonal air–sea CO2 flux in the Southern Ocean: New insights from CARIOCA pCO2 by Merlivat, L., Boutin, J., Antoine, David

“…We investigate processes regulating air–sea CO2 flux in a large area of the Southern Ocean (38°S–55°S, 60°W–60°E) that represents nearly one third of the subantarctic zone. A seasonal budget of CO2 partial pressure, pCO2 and of dissolved inorganic carbon, DIC in the mixed layer is assessed by quantifying the impacts of biology, physics and thermodynamical effect on seawater pCO2. …”

An ocean colour remote sensing study of the phytoplankton cycle off Western Australia by Marinelli, Marco Antonio

“…Exceptions to this occur in proximity to the adjacent Indonesian islands and directly south of Albany (possibly due to northwards flow of subantarctic nutrient-rich waters). A considerable interannual variation was also noted, with the highest mean chlorophyll concentrations occurring in 1981. 1982 and 1983.The influence of the forcing terms on chlorophyll a appears to vary significantly among the waters of North West Shelf, Western and southern Western Australian coastline. …”

Mitogenomic insights into a recently described and rarely observed killer whale morphotype by Foote, A., Morin, P., Pitman, R., Avila-Arcos, M., Durban, J., van Helden, A., Sinding, M., Gilbert, Thomas

“…The 'type D' killer whale, Orcinus orca, is a rarely observed morphotype with a pelagic, circumpolar subantarctic distribution, making dedicated research and therefore taxonomic study extremely difficult to date. …”

Pliocene-Pleistocene evolution of sea surface and intermediate water temperatures from the Southwest Pacific by McClymont, Erin L., Elmore, Aurora C., Kender, Sev, Leng, Melanie J., Greaves, Mervyn, Elderfield, Henry

“…The Pliocene is warmer than modern, but our data suggest an equatorward displacement of the subtropical front relative to present, and a poleward displacement of the subantarctic front of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC). …”
