Simulated sea ice thickness in the ORCA2-LIM coupled sea ice–ocean model is … compared with thicknesses from the Antarctic Sea Ice Processes and Climate (ASPeCt) database. We find a qualitative agreement of the large-scale patterns of ice thickness … distribution.
Abstract A microbial enrichment culture tolerant of … petroleum hydrocarbons was developed from sediment … collected near Casey Station, Antarctica. To select coldadapted … microbes that would degrade diesel, enrichments … were cultured at 0°C during six successive … transfers to fresh medium…
A 5.52 m long sediment sequence was recovered from Lake Terrasovoje, Amery Oasis, East Antarctica, in … order to reconstruct the regional environmental history. The basal sediments, which are dominated by … glacial and glaciofluvial clastic sediments…
The diatom flora of three lakes in the ice-free … Amery Oasis, East Antarctica, was studied. Two of the … lakes are meltwater reservoirs, Terrasovoje Lake (31 m … depth) and Radok Lake (362 m depth), while Beaver … Lake (>435 m depth) is an epishelf lake.
Mosses are the dominant plant species in continental Antarctica, where they sparsely colonize the limited stony … coastal areas not permanently covered with snow and ice. The few species of mosses present in Antarctica live ‘‘on the … edge’’ for plant life…
