Description / Table of Contents: Climate Since A.D. 1500 presents a unique perspective on the 'Litte Ice Age' and the climate of the twentieth century. Leading scientists explore historical documents, dendroclimatic data and ice core records from all over the world, presenting an invaluable compilation for all those concerned with past climate and the risks of man-made climatic change in the future. This revised edition includes a new chapter summarizing the wealth of literature on climatic change over the past few years and a new and expanded index.

Description / Table of Contents: Apart from a summary of observations of Weddell seals in the Vestfold Hills in 1966, directed research on Weddell seals did not begin until the commencement of tagging of seals, particulary pups, in 1973. Other studies of the Weddell seal in the Vestfold Hills have been directed at an understanding of their diet, vocalisations, response to anaesthesia, and their genetic make-up. Variable efforts have been made in the tagging and resighting of seals over the years. The data have been unsuitable for the calculation of some population parameters but at the same time they have provided good long-term data on other aspects such as total pup numbers. These data, along with those from aerial censuses and studies of the moult, have allowed an assessment of the methodology of seal censusing to be made. This work has supported the theory that food availablitiy in different years affects numbers of seals censused during the moult, thus calling into question some inter-annual comparisons. In addition there are periods during the moult when aerial censuses are not comparable on an inter-annual basis, due to the composition of the population. This finding has direct relevance to seal monitoring undertaken for the CCAMLR Ecosystem Monitoring Program. Corrections of anomalies in the Weddell seal data base and a stricter sampling regime dating from the breeding season 1988-89 are expected to return results in the future that will be useful in studying population processes in an environment where the species is not being exploited and its population is regulated by natural factors.
