Continent-continent collisions develop mature orogenic systems over tens of millions of years, creating a thermally weakened mid-crustal infrastructure layer (15–50 km deep) that flows laterally from the thickened mountain ranges or plateaus.
Coupled ice sheet–ocean models are increasingly being developed and applied to important questions pertaining to processes at the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheet margins, which play a pivotal role in ice sheet stability and sea level rise projections.
Introduction: This document updates the research bibliography of SC/66b/SAN01 presented in 2016. The Southern Ocean Sanctuary (SOS) was established by the Commission in 1994. The area covered by the SOS in combination with the complementary Indian Ocean Sanctuary (IOS) is shown in Figure 1.
The analysis of trophically complex mathematical ecosystem models is typically carried out … using numerical techniques because it is considered that the number and nonlinear nature of the equations … involved makes the use of analytic techniques virtually impossible. In particular…
State-of-the-art remote sensing techniques … applicable to the investigation of ice formation and evolution are … described. Ground-based and spaceborne measurements with lidar, radar…
We present an overview of … state-of-the-art chemistry–climate and chemistry transport models that … are … used within phase 1 of the Chemistry–Climate Model Initiative (CCMI-1).
An increase in high latitude human activities has resulted in an increased incidence of petroleum hydrocarbon spills in these areas. While a substantial body of research exists on remediation techniques for such contamination in warmer climes…
Numerous fuel spills associated with human activities in Antarctica have occurred and significant levels of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination have been reported near Antarctic stations.
Results from the chemistry—atmosphere—climate model version of the Australian Community Climate and Earth System Simulator (ACCESS) are presented. ACCESS is based on the UK Met Office Unified Model version 7.3 (UM 7.3) including the United Kingdom Chemistry and Aerosols (UKCA) module.
For many species trophic interactions are difficult to study because of their cryptic habits and/or the unfavourable characteristics of samples for traditional diet techniques. DNA-based diet techniques are sensitive…
A baseline for persistent organohalogen compound (POC) accumulation in the Antarctic … keystone species, Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) has been established for a 50¡ã longitudinal … range of the eastern Antarctic sector. Samples of adult krill…
During the summer of 2008/09, measurements were taken at 34 magnetotelluric (MT) stations along profiles totaling approximately 180 line km in the Prydz Bay region of Antarctica. Prydz Bay comprises several regions of coastal outcrops with distinct geological histories…
Tracking features between pairs of satellite synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images using image crosscorrelation … methods is a powerful tool for defining regions of image movement such as ice flow of Antarctic … glaciers. Unlike optical images…
Techniques are presented for generating thermal infrared and … visible composite images from cloud-free portions of MODIS … (MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) images … closely spaced in time, with a focus on studies of landfast sea … ice along the East Antarctic coast.
This paper presents details of techniques for generating … thermal infrared and visible composite images from the … cloud-free portions of temporally closely spaced MODerate resolution … Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) images…
Euphausiids are vital components of many oceanic foodwebs. Due to their large size, they are key prey … species for many vertebrates, and several species are subject to commercial fisheries. The best studied … euphausiid species is Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba)…
Anthropogenic carbon dioxide has been accumulating in the … oceans, lowering both the concentration of carbonate ions … and the pH (ref. 1), resulting in the acidification of sea … water.
Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) have been developing in some countries for over 10 years but still suffer from … having a relatively small installed base. Most SDIs will soon converge around a service-oriented-architecture (SOA)…
A methodology for the on-site chemical assessment of contaminant metals in soil was successfully … developed, tested and employed to facilitate the clean-up of the abandoned Thala Valley waste disposal site … at Australia’s Casey station in 2003/04.
Graphical methods for the exploration of ecological databases … Ben Raymond, Lee Belbin, Jonathan Stark … Scientific data repositories are becoming increasingly characterised by large data sets stored in web-accessible, structured databases.
The French-Australian cooperative project "Alternative Energy Systems for Antarctic Stations" was originally focused on a broad study of station needs and alternative energy options. It has evolved towards an integrated system combining knowledge and data management…
In order to fully characterize the astronomical potential of remote sites on the antarctic plateau, we have developed a suite of instruments covering UV to sub-millimeter … wavelengths. In addition…
