  • Mcmurdo Dry Valleys, Southern Victoria Land
    Measure 1 (2004) Annex Management Plan for Antarctic Specially Managed Area No. 2 MCMURDO DRY VALLEYS, SOUTHERN VICTORIA LAND 1. Description of values to be protected and activities to be managed The McMurdo Dry Valleys are characterized as the largest relatively ice-free region in Antarctica with approximately thirty percent of the ground surface largely free of snow and ice. The region encompasses a cold desert ecosystem, whose climate is not only cold and extremely arid (in the Wright Valley the mean annual temperature is –19.8°C and annual precipitation is less than 100 mm water equivalent), but also windy. The landscape of the Area contains glaciers, mountain ranges, ice-covered lakes, meltwater streams, arid patterned soils and permafrost, sand dunes, and interconnected watershed systems. These watersheds have a regional influence on the McMurdo Sound marine ecosystem. The Area’s location, where large-scale seasonal shifts in the water phase occur, is of great importance to the study of climate change. Through shifts in the ice-water balance over time, resulting in contraction and expansion of hydrological features and the accumulations of trace gases in ancient snow, the McMurdo Dry Valley terrain also contains records of past climate change. The extreme climate of the region serves as an important analogue for the conditions of ancient Earth and contemporary Mars, where such climate may have dominated the evolution of landscape and biota. The Area is characterized by unique ecosystems of low biodiversity and reduced food web complexity. However, as the largest ice-free region in Antarctica, the McMurdo Dry Valleys also contain relatively diverse habitats compared with other ice-free areas.

    O Processo Político de Construção das Políticas Públicas para as Alterações Climáticas José Carlos Martinho da Silva Dissertação de Mestrado em Sociologia - Políticas Públicas e NomeDesigualdades Completo do Sociais Autor Maio de 2019 Resumo As alterações climáticas de origem antropogénica constituem um problema ambiental sobre o qual se desenvolveram desde a década de 90 políticas públicas e tratados internacionais de grande relevância. O peso desta problemática nas agendas políticas e mediáticas tem sido crescente em diversas nações, inclusive em Portugal e na União Europeia (UE). Com efeito, a UE constitui-se hoje como um dos principais agentes mobilizados e mobilizadores de políticas sobre esta problemática, com políticas públicas robustas implementadas no contexto do protocolo de Quioto e de outras decisões tomadas na Convenção Quadro das Nações Unidas para as Alterações Climáticas. A ação internacional mais recente e ambiciosa promovida no âmbito da Convenção, ocorreu em 2015, o Acordo de Paris, mas foi recebida por uma renovada e estruturada oposição, nomeadamente a dos Estados Unidos da América (EUA), que com a sua saída do Acordo, despoletou desenvolvimentos imprevisíveis que representam atualmente um foco de preocupação e controvérsia, intensificando as interrogações face a um problema, que politicamente se veio a consolidar num desenho de políticas públicas com fortes implicações em diferentes áreas económicas, sociais e geopolíticas das diferentes nações e agrupamentos regionais representados na Convenção. Este trabalho procura abordar o problema político como um processo, e sobre este, desenvolver uma análise sociológica, tendo como enquadramento teórico a teoria de campo de Pierre Bourdieu. O foco deste trabalho foi o de compreender o início deste processo, eventualmente lançando as bases para um estudo posterior que alcance as suas diferentes fases, até ao momento presente.

  • Distribution of Marine Palynomorphs in Surface Sediments, Prydz Bay, Antarctica
    DISTRIBUTION OF MARINE PALYNOMORPHS IN SURFACE SEDIMENTS, PRYDZ BAY, ANTARCTICA Claire Andrea Storkey A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Masters of Science in geology School of Earth Sciences Victoria University of Wellington April 2006 ABSTRACT Prydz Bay Antarctica is an embayment situated at the ocean-ward end of the Lambert Glacier/Amery Ice Shelf complex East Antarctica. This study aims to document the palynological assemblages of 58 surface sediment samples from Prydz Bay, and to compare these assemblages with ancient palynomorph assemblages recovered from strata sampled by drilling projects in and around the bay. Since the early Oligocene, terrestrial and marine sediments from the Lambert Graben and the inner shelf areas in Prydz Bay have been the target of significant glacial erosion. Repeated ice shelf advances towards the edge of the continental shelf redistributed these sediments, reworking them into the outer shelf and Prydz Channel Fan. These areas consist mostly of reworked sediments, and grain size analysis shows that finer sediments are found in the deeper parts of the inner shelf and the deepest areas on the Prydz Channel Fan. Circulation within Prydz Bay is dominated by a clockwise rotating gyre which, together with coastal currents and ice berg ploughing modifies the sediments of the bay, resulting in the winnowing out of the finer component of the sediment. Glacial erosion and reworking of sediments has created four differing environments (Prydz Channel Fan, North Shelf, Mid Shelf and Coastal areas) in Prydz Bay which is reflected in the palynomorph distribution. Assemblages consist of Holocene palynomorphs recovered mostly from the Mid Shelf and Coastal areas and reworked palynomorphs recovered mostly from the North Shelf and Prydz Channel Fan.

It, too, is a place lost in time. For most people, a visit to Beardmore Camp is a trip back in history, whether to the original camp structure from 19 years ago, now buried under snow, or to the sites of ancient forests and bones, now buried under rock. Ever since Robert Scott collected fos- sils on his way back down the Beardmore Glacier in February 1912, geologists and paleontologists have had an interest in the rocky outcrops lining the broad river of ice.
