The Diego Ramírez Archipelago, Chile, is the southernmost albatross breeding ground in the world and holds … globally important numbers of Black-browed (Thalassarche melanophrys) and Grey-headed (T. chrysostoma) Albatrosses. A census in the Diego Ramírez Archipelago has been attempted only once…
Ice within marine basins of East Antarctica, and their outlets, represent the ultimate limit on sea level change. The region of East Antarctica between the Ross Sea and Wilkes Land hosts a number of major basin, but has been poorly understood. Long range aerogeophysics from US…
1. The likelihood that seabirds will be hooked and drowned in longline fisheries increases when baited hooks sink slowly. Fishermen target different fishing depths by setting the mainline through a line shooter, which controls the tension (or slackness) in the line.
Aerogeophysical data obtained by the ICECAP project yield new insights into the basal … topography and evidence of new subglacial lakes within the Aurora Subglacial Basin, East … Antarctica. The new bed elevation map allows us to consider the flow paths of subglacial water.
The Aurora and Wilkes Subglacial Basins are major features of East Antarctica, containing significant regions below sea level. Before the International Polar Year (2007-9), the … extent and geology of the basins were poorly constrained by geophysical data. The IPY project…
1. Incidental mortality in fisheries is causing declines in many albatross populations around the world. To assess potential interactions with regional fisheries satellite tags were used to track black-browed albatrosses (Thalassarche melanophrys) and light-mantled sooty albatrosses…
Reconstructing and modeling extent and dynamics of ice sheets is crucial in … understanding and predicting the evolution of ice sheets. Key to ice sheet dynamics are ice … streams, which drain most of the ice from the ice sheet interior to the ice shelves, where most of … the ice is lost.
The ICECAP project represents a return to the long-range, internationally collaborative … Antarctic aerogeophysics last seen in the 1970’s SPRI/NSF/TUD project. ICECAP is a joint … IPY collaboration between the University of Texas at Austin (funded by NSF), the University of … Edinburgh…
Sub-ice shelf bathymetry remains a poorly known but important boundary condition for … models of sub-ice shelf circulation and the distribution of basal melt and accretion. Surfacebased … seismic surveys are traditionally used to determine sub-ice shelf bathymetry…
ABSTRACT. The loss of methanesulphonic acid (MSA) from stored ice cores can be significant over … typical storage times, with diffusion to the ice-core surface controlling the loss.
