  • Potential Regime Shift in Decreased Sea Ice Production After the Mertz Glacier Calving
    ARTICLE Received 27 Jan 2012 | Accepted 3 Apr 2012 | Published 8 May 2012 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms1820 Potential regime shift in decreased sea ice production after the Mertz Glacier calving T. Tamura1,2,*, G.D. Williams2,*, A.D. Fraser2 & K.I. Ohshima3 Variability in dense shelf water formation can potentially impact Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) production, a vital component of the global climate system. In East Antarctica, the George V Land polynya system (142–150°E) is structured by the local ‘icescape’, promoting sea ice formation that is driven by the offshore wind regime. Here we present the first observations of this region after the repositioning of a large iceberg (B9B) precipitated the calving of the Mertz Glacier Tongue in 2010. Using satellite data, we find that the total sea ice production for the region in 2010 and 2011 was 144 and 134 km3, respectively, representing a 14–20% decrease from a value of 168 km3 averaged from 2000–2009. This abrupt change to the regional icescape could result in decreased polynya activity, sea ice production, and ultimately the dense shelf water export and AABW production from this region for the coming decades. 1 National Institute of Polar Research, Tachikawa, Japan. 2 Antarctic Climate & Ecosystem Cooperative Research Centre, University of Tasmania, Hobart, Australia. 3 Institute of Low Temperature of Science, Sapporo, Japan. *These authors contributed equally to this work.

Geological Survey and The National Academies; USGS OF-2007-1047, Short Research Paper 109; doi: 10.3133/of2007-1047.srp109 Crustal architecture of the oblique-slip conjugate margins of George V Land and southeast Australia H. M. J. Stagg1 and A. M. Reading2 1Geoscience Australia, GPO Box 378, Canberra ACT 2601, Australia ([email protected]) 2School of Earth Sciences, University of Tasmania, Private Bag 79, Hobart TAS 7001, Australia ([email protected]) Abstract A conceptual, lithospheric-scale cross-section of the conjugate, oblique-slip margins of George V Land, East Antarctica, and southeast Australia (Otway Basin) has been constructed based on the integration of seismic and sample data. This cross-section is characterised by asymmetry in width and thickness, and depth-dependent crustal extension at breakup in the latest Maastrichtian. The broad Antarctic margin (~360 km apparent rift width) developed on thick crust (~42 km) of the Antarctic craton, whereas the narrow Otway margin (~220 km) developed on the thinner crust (~31 km) of the Ross–Delamerian Orogen. The shallow basement (velocities ~5.5 km.s-1) and the deep continental crust (velocities >6.4 km.s-1) appear to be largely absent across the central rift, while the mid-crustal, probably granitic layer (velocities ~6 km.s-1) is preserved. Comparison with published numerical models suggests that the shallow basement and deep crust may have been removed by simple shear, whereas the mid-crust has been ductilely deformed. Citation: H.M.J.

Because Mackintosh had intended to use Aurora as the party's main living quarters, most of the shore party's personal gear, food, equipment and fuel was still aboard when the ship departed. Although the sledging rations intended for Shackleton's depots had been landed, [41] the ten stranded men were left with "only the clothes on their backs". We cannot expect rescue before then, and so we must conserve and economize on what we have, and we must seek and apply what substitutes we can gather". On the last day of August Mackintosh recorded in his diary the work that had been completed during the winter, and ended: "Tomorrow we start for Hut Point". The second season's work was planned in three stages. Nine men in teams of three would undertake the sledging work. The first stage, hauling over the sea ice to Hut Point, started on 1 September , and was completed without mishap by the end of the month. Shortly after the main march to Mount Hope began, on 1 January , the failure of a Primus stove led to three men Cope, Jack and Gaze returning to Cape Evans, [49] where they joined Stevens. The scientist had remained at the base to take weather measurements and watch for the ship.
