Podobnie jak poprzednie części, część III została opracowana przez Komisję Standaryzacji Nazw Geograficznych poza granicami Polski, działającą przy Ministerstwie Edukacji Narodowej. Pracom Komisji przewodniczył pro! Jerzy Kondracki. Publikowanie wykazów egzoninu5w jest realizacją postanowień Organizacji Narodów Zjednoczonych, mających na celu ujednolicenie nazewnictwa geograficznego używanego w poszczególnych państwach w wydawnictwach kartograficmych, książkach, prasie i innych środkach masowego przekazu. Podane nazwy są zalecane do powszechnego użytku przez Ministerstwo Edukacji Narodowej. Główny Geodeta Kraju v Wprowadzenie Polskie nazwy w pozaeuropejskich częściach świata,u~talone przez Komisję Standaryzacji Nazw Geograficznych poza granicami Polski (w składzie podanym na stronie redakcyjnej), podobnie jak nazwy w Europie zostały opracowane na podstawie materiałów kartograficznych i literatury geograficznej przez zespół, wyłoniony spośród członków Komisji w następującym składzie: Tadeusz Lankamer (PPWK) ­ przewodniczący, Sabina Kacieszczenko (PPWK), Dariusz Kalisiewicz (PWN), Jerzy Ostrowski (IGiPZ PAN). Wykaz obejmuje nazwy polskie używane obecnie z pominięciem nazw historycznych oraz tych, które wypadły z użytkowania, wyparte przez nazwy oficjalne. Tak jak w częściach poprzednich, przy nazwach polskich podano odpowiedniki w językach oficjalnych. W przypadku innych form zapisu niż alfabet łaciński podano uznaną międzynarodowo transliterację (trI.) i transkrypcję (trb.) według zasad polskiej ortografii. Nazwy zestawiono według układu regionalno-rzeczowego oraz w porządku alfabetycznym. Przyjęto podział na części świata w kolejności historyczno-geograficznej: Mryka Ameryka Północna Ameryka Południowa Australia i Oceania Antarktyka W każdym z tych działów zestawiono: 1. Nazwy państw, jednostek politycznych i administracyjnych, krain historycznych oraz miejscowości, w kolejności alfabetu polskiego według skróconej (popularnej) polskiej nazwy państwa. Uwzględniono następujące postaci nazwy: l) skróconą nazwę polską w mianowniku, dopełniaczu i miejscowniku; 2) skróconą nazwę w języku oficjalnym; 3) pełną nazwę polską; 4) pełną nazwę oficjalną. Pod nazwami państw umieszczono polskie nazwy miast, jednostek politycznych i administracyjnych oraz krain historycznych 2. Nazwy obiektów fizjograficznych: 1) hydronimy; 2) oronimy. Hydronimy podzielono na dwie grupy: l) zatoki, cieśniny; 2) rzeki, jeziora, kanały, bagna, wodospady, lodowce. Przy każdej nazwie podano skrótem określenie rodzaju obiektu i państwa, w którym znajduje się dany obiekt oraz jego nazwę VII w języku oficjalnym, a w przypadku położenia w kilku państwach­ - nazwy w odpowiednich językach przy zastosowaniu transliteracji i transkrypcji, jeśli nazwa oficjalna jest w innej formie zapisu, niż alfabet łaciński. 3. Nazwy szczególne, obejmujące parki narodowe, niektóre powszech­ nie znane obiekty w miastach oraz nazwy polskich stacji badawczych w Antarktyce. Uzupełnienie układu regionalnego i rzeczowego stanowi zamieszczony na końcu alfabetyczny indeks nazw polskich.Przyjęt()jednolity system zapisu nazw.

  • Responses of Antarctic Tundra Ecosystem to Climate Change and Human Activity
    PAPERS on GLOBAL CHANGE, 17, 43–52, 2010 DOI: 10.2478/v10190-010-0004-4 RESPONSES OF ANTARCTIC TUNDRA ECOSYSTEM TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND HUMAN ACTIVITY MARIA OLECH Institute of Botany, Jagiellonian University, Kopernika 27, 31-501 Cracow, Poland, Department of Antarctic Biology, Polish Academy of Sciences, Ustrzycka 10/12, 02-141 Warsaw, Poland e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Over the last couple of years the Antarctic Peninsula region has been one of the fastest warming regions on the Earth. Rapidly proceeding deglaciation uncovers new areas for colonisation and formation of Antarctic tundra communities. The most evi- dent dynamics, i.e. changes in both biodiversity and structure of tundra communities, are observed in the forefi elds of retreating glaciers. This paper presents examples of changes in biodiversity and in the direction and rate of succession changes taking place due to climate warming compounded by synanthropization in the maritime Antarctic. KEY WORDS: Antarctic, climate change, colonisation, tundra ecosystem, bio- diversity, alien species. INTRODUCTION Development of vegetation in the Antarctic is limited to ice-free surfaces of the land, which account for only a few percent (2–5%) of the total area. The Antarctic tundra ecosystem is mainly made up of cryptogams, i.e. lichens, bryophytes, algae and fungi, while at the same time it is extremely defi cient in vascular plants, of which only two species are found: a grass Deschampsia antarctica Desv. (Poace- ae) and Colobanthus quitensis (Kunth). Bartl. (Caryophyllaceae). Occurrence of both species is limited to the climatically favourable sites in the maritime Antarctic (Olech 2002).

  • List of Place-Names in Antarctica Introduced by Poland in 1978-1990
    POLISH POLAR RESEARCH 13 3-4 273-302 1992 List of place-names in Antarctica introduced by Poland in 1978-1990 The place-names listed here in alphabetical order, have been introduced to the areas of King George Island and parts of Nelson Island (West Antarctica), and the surroundings of A. B. Dobrowolski Station at Bunger Hills (East Antarctica) as the result of Polish activities in these regions during the period of 1977-1990. The place-names connected with the activities of the Polish H. Arctowski Station have been* published by Birkenmajer (1980, 1984) and Tokarski (1981). Some of them were used on the Polish maps: 1:50,000 Admiralty Bay and 1:5,000 Lions Rump. The sheet reference is to the maps 1:200,000 scale, British Antarctic Territory, South Shetland Islands, published in 1968: King George Island (sheet W 62 58) and Bridgeman Island (Sheet W 62 56). The place-names connected with the activities of the Polish A. B. Dobrowolski Station have been published by Battke (1985) and used on the map 1:5,000 Antarctic Territory — Bunger Oasis.

  • Western Shore of Admiralty Bay, King George Island, South Shetland Islands
    Measure 4 (2014) Annex Management Plan for Antarctic Specially Protected Area No 128 WESTERN SHORE OF ADMIRALTY BAY, KING GEORGE ISLAND, SOUTH SHETLAND ISLANDS Introduction The Western Shore of Admiralty Bay is located on King George Island, South Shetland Islands, ~125 kilometers from the northern Antarctic Peninsula. Approximate area and coordinates: 16.8 km2 (centered at 58° 27' 40" W, 62° 11' 50" S). The Area is wholly terrestrial, and the primary reasons for designation are its diverse avian and mammalian fauna and locally rich vegetation, providing a representative sample of the maritime Antarctic ecosystem. Long term scientific research has been conducted on the animals within the Area. The Area is relatively accessible to nearby research stations and tourist ships regularly visit Admiralty Bay, and the ecological and scientific values of the area need protection from potential disturbance. The Area was originally designated as Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) No. 8 in Recommendation X-5 (1979, SSSI No. 8) after a proposal by Poland. The SSSI designation was extended through Recommendation XII-5 (1983), Recommendation XIII-7 (1985) and Resolution 7 (1995). A revised Management Plan was adopted through Measure 1 (2000). The site was renamed and renumbered as Antarctic Specially Protected Area (ASPA) No 128 by Decision 1 (2002). The Area lies within Antarctic Specially Managed Area (ASMA) No. 1 Admiralty Bay, King George Island, South Shetland Islands, designated under Measure 2 (2006). The biological and scientific values of the Area are vulnerable to human disturbance (e.g. oversampling, disturbance to wildlife, introduction of non-native species). Therefore, it is important that human activities in the Area are managed to minimize the risk of impacts.

  • J.E.Afr.Nat.Hist.Soc. Vol.XXV No.3 (112) January 1966 CHECK LIST of ELOPOID and CLUPEOID FISHES in EAST AFRICAN COASTAL WATERS B
    J.E.Afr.Nat.Hist.Soc. Vol.XXV No.3 (112) January 1966 CHECK LIST OF ELOPOID AND CLUPEOID FISHES IN EAST AFRICAN COASTAL WATERS By G.F. LOOSE (East African Marine Fisheries Research Organization, Zanzibar.) Introduction During preliminary biological studies of the economically important fishes of the suborders Elopoidei and Clupeoidei in East African coastal waters, it was found that due to considerable confusion in the existing literature and the taxonomy of many genera, accurate identifi• cations were often difficult. A large collection of elopoid and clupeoid fishes has been made. Specimens have been obtained from purse-seine catches, by trawling in estuaries and shallow bays, by seining, handnetting under lamps at night, and from the catches of indigenous fishermen. A representative fartNaturalof thisHistory),collectionLondon,haswherenow beenI wasdepositedable to examinein the Britishfurther Museummaterial from the Western Indian Ocean during the summer of 1964. Based on these collections this check list has been prepared; a review on the taxonomy, fishery and existing biological knowledge of elopoid and clupeoid species in the East African area is in preparation. Twenty-one species, representing seven families are listed here; four not previously published distributional records are indicated by asterisks. Classification to familial level is based on Whitehead, P.J.P. (1963 a). Keys refer only to species listed and adult fishes. In the synonymy reference is made only to the original description and other subsequent records from the area. Only those localities are listed from which I have examined specimens.

  • Grain Size Distribution of Bedload Transport in a Glaciated Catchment (Baranowski Glacier, King George Island, Western Antarctica)
    water Article Grain Size Distribution of Bedload Transport in a Glaciated Catchment (Baranowski Glacier, King George Island, Western Antarctica) Joanna Sziło 1,* and Robert Józef Bialik 2 1 Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences, 01-452 Warsaw, Poland 2 Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences, 02-106 Warsaw, Poland; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +48-504-595-266 Received: 20 February 2018; Accepted: 20 March 2018; Published: 23 March 2018 Abstract: The relationships among grain size distribution (GSD), water discharge, and GSD parameters are investigated to identify regularities in the evolution of two gravel-bed proglacial troughs: Fosa Creek and Siodło Creek. In addition, the potential application of certain parameters obtained from the GSD analysis for the assessment of the formation stage of both creeks is comprehensively discussed. To achieve these goals, River Bedload Traps (RBTs) were used to collect the bedload, and a sieving method for dry material was applied to obtain the GSDs. Statistical comparisons between both streams showed significant differences in flow velocity; however, the lack of significant differences in bedload transport clearly indicated that meteorological conditions are among the most important factors in the erosive process for this catchment. In particular, the instability of flow conditions during high water discharge resulted in an increase in the proportion of medium and coarse gravels. The poorly sorted fine and very fine gravels observed in Siodło Creek suggest that this trough is more susceptible to erosion and less stabilized than Fosa Creek. The results suggest that GSD analyses can be used to define the stage of development of riverbeds relative to that of other riverbeds in polar regions.

Elster ([email protected]) 15 16 Abstract 17 Glaciers are known to harbor surprisingly complex ecosystems. On their surface, distinct 18 cylindrical holes filled with meltwater and sediments are considered as hot spots for microbial life. 19 The present paper addresses possible biological interactions within the community of prokaryotic 20 cyanobacteria and eukaryotic microalgae (microalgae) and relations to their potential grazers, such 21 as tardigrades and rotifers, additional to their environmental controls. Svalbard glaciers with 22 substantial allochthonous input of material from local sources reveal high microalgal densities. 23 Small valley glaciers with high sediment coverages and high impact of birds show high biomasses 24 and support a high biological diversity. Invertebrate grazer densities do not show any significant 25 negative correlation with microalgal abundances, but a positive correlation with eukaryotic 26 microalgae.

  • Regional Marine and Coastal Projects in the Western Indian Ocean; an Overview
    Participating countries Regional Marine and Coastal Projects in the Western Indian Ocean; an overview WORKING DOCUMENT DATE: 27 May 2009 The purpose of this document is to provide a reference for coastal and marine-related institutions and projects in the Western Indian Ocean region. Content has been included as provided by regional projects or institutions active in more than one country in the Western Indian Ocean. The body of the text describes the activities of 25 projects, but a longer list may be found in Appendix I. Twelve chapters are presented on a thematic or geographic basis, to allow interested projects and parties to interact and coordinate activities around their particular areas of interest. The order of projects is in the order of information received; they are not listed alphabetically or reformatting would have been required after every addition. Sections for which information is pending, or sections that are not applicable have been left blank, also to avoid formatting problems. Much of the text has been extracted from other documents, websites and reports, and no claims are made to originality. This reference document should be used as a guide only. Some information has been based on online sources or project documents that may be outdated. For the most up-to-date, verified and accurate information about any project, please contact them directly. We hope to improve this draft, and so further comments or contributions of any kind are welcome. Compiled by Lucy Scott (ASCLME), with contributions from Tommy Bornman, Juliet
