Ocean–cryosphere interactions along the Adélie and George V Land (AGVL) coast are investigated using a coupled ocean–sea ice–ice shelf model. The dominant feature of the Mertz Glacier Tongue (MGT), located at approximately 145°E, was a highly productive winter coastal polynya system…
Despite widespread iron (Fe) limitation in the Southern Ocean, intense phytoplankton blooms are observed around productive coastal regions such as the Mertz Polynya (off George V Land and Adelie Land, East Antarctica; 140–155°E). Sources of Fe across coastal East Antarctica vary…
One of the serious threats to the Antarctic marine ecosystem is the release of large volumes of petroleum fuel. Numerous fuel spill incidents have occurred and risks of a major spill are increasing due to continued expansion of human activity in the Antarctic region.
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…
Environmental pollution resulting from fuel spills in Antarctic waters is increasingly likely with the rise in shipping associated with tourism and research activities, both of which require and transport large quantities of fuel.
Despite the widespread use and transport of fuels in Antarctica, there is very limited data available on the behaviour and weathering of these fuels in the Antarctic marine environment. The potential impacts of a fuel spill on marine biota are largely unknown.
A large collection of ascidians was made during the CEAMARC Aurora Australis V3 cruise off Terre Adélie and George V … Land a region rarely investigated before at these depths. Sampling was performed by beam trawls and a dredge between 138°– 146° latitude East and from 150 to 1700 m depth…
