Book Description
Twenty peer-reviewed papers form a workshop in Huntsville, Alabama, October 1989, explore both the very large and the very small models of plasma in the Earth's atmosphere as part of the quest to understand the magnetosphere and the ionosphere as a coupled global system.

Book Description
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Antarctic Research Series, Volume 52. The eunicemorph polychaetes from Antarctic and Subantractic seas are reviewed, and new data adding to the knowledge of the eunicemorphs from New Zealand, Australia, Chile, and Argentina have been included. The systematics of the order Eunicemorpha is discussed, and suggestions are made pertinent to the status and definition of some families. It is proposed to merge the Lysaretidae with the Lumbrineridae, and the Oenonidae with the Arabellidae, and to redefine the Iphitimidae as a family independent of the Dorvilleidae.

Book Description
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Antarctic Research Series, Volume 71. The Antarctic Ice Sheet has greatly affected global climate, sea level, ocean circulation, and southern hemisphere biota during Cenozoic times. Much of our understanding of the evolution of the ice sheet has been inferred from isotopic studies on distant deep-ocean sediments, because few Cenozoic rocks are exposed on the Antarctic continent. Yet, large differences occur between past ice volumes inferred from isotopic studies and those inferred from low-latitude sea-level variation. The massive quantities of glacially transported terrigenous sediments that lie beneath the Antarctic continental margin provide an additional, more direct record of the inferred ice sheet fluctuations. Volume 68 addresses the history of ice sheet fluctuations as recorded by geological and geophysical investigations of selected areas of the Antarctic continental margin. As described below, the volume gives data and results from on-going research by a major multinational project directed toward better understanding the impact of Antarctic Ice Sheet fluctuations on global sea levels and climates.

Book Description
Papers based on work presented at a conference held at the University of California, Santa Barbara, August 28-31 1991, entitled 'The Role of the Southern Ocean and Antarctica in Global Change : an Ocean Drilling Perspective.' Papers deal with paleoenvironmental data from the Antarctic, including geology, climate, fossils, sediments and the eustatic record.

Book Description
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Antarctic Research Series, Volume 56. The Antarctic continent and the surrounding Southern Ocean represent one of the major climate engines of the Earth: coupled components critical in the Earth's environmental system. The contributions in this volume help with the understanding of the long-term evolution of Antarctica's environment and biota. The aim of this and the succeeding companion volume is to help place the modern system within a historical context. A large number of workers have contributed much in providing the necessary reviews of the contributions published in this volume; we heartily thank you all: J. B. Anderson, J. H. Andrews, M. P.
