The catalogue contains information on both print and electronic serials, including journals, periodicals, newspapers, newsletters, magazines, annual reports and other publications of a continuing nature.

BGS – now part of NERC

Records in SUNCAT listed under the British Geological Survey are now being loaded as part of NERC: Natural Environment Research Council. NERC incorporates British Geological Survey, Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, and British Antarctic Survey. There are two non-UK locations for British Antarctic Survey (BAS) – Bird Island in South Georgia and Rothera in Antarctica!

"Nacreous Clouds above Rothera Base" by Jade Berman (divedivajade).

One title held at Rothera is 'Annals of Glaciology'; two titles held in South Georgia are 'CCAMLR statistical bulletin', and 'CCAMLR science'. Luckily, you don't have to travel to either library to get hold of them, as there is another copy held in the BAS main library in Cambridge!
