A new feature introduced in this edition is a section containing four essays: The HUDSON 70 Expedition by C.R. Mann Earth Sciences Studies in Arctic Marine Waters, 1970 by B.R. Pelletier Analysis of Marine Ecosystems by K.H. Mann Operation Oil by C.S. Mason and Wm. L. Ford They serve as an overview of the focal interests of the past two years in contrast to the body of the Review, which is basically a series of individual progress reports. The search for petroleum on the continental shelves of Eastern Canada and Arctic intensified considerably with several drilling rigs and many geophysical exploration teams in the field. To provide a regional depository for the mandatory core samples required from all drilling, the first stage of a core storage and archival laboratory was completed in 1970. This new addition to the Institute is operated by the Resource Administration Division of the Department of Energy, Mines & Resources. In a related move the Geological Survey of Canada undertook to establish at the Institute a new team whose primary function will be the stratigraphic mapping of the continental shelf.

  • Deception Island, Antarctica (62°57’S, 60°38’W)
    DECEPTION ISLAND, ANTARCTICA (62°57’S, 60°38’W) All the information provided below is modified from the following publication: SMELLIE, J.L., LÓPEZ-MARTÍNEZ, J., THOMSON and others. 2002. Geology and geomorphology of Deception Island. BAS GEOMAP Series, Sheets 6-A and 6-B, 1:25 000, supplementary text, 77 pp. Cambridge, British Antarctic Survey. The text included here form the core of a hazards assessment and mitigation section within a Management plan for Deception Island. It is currently being considered by Antarctic Treaty nations. Volcanic history The eruptive history of Deception Island can be described in four major phases: Phase 1. The earliest phase, comprising subaqueous eruptions, constructed at least 80 % of the volcanic edifice and was responsible for its overall form as a volcanic shield with gentle surface gradients. Because it is entirely submerged, it has not been examined. By comparison with uplifted and exposed oceanic volcanoes elsewhere, it is inferred to be formed of pillow lava and hyaloclastite breccia, which would have formed non-explosively mainly during subaqueous effusion. Phase 2. The shoaling and early subaerial emergence of the volcano is represented by rocks of the Fumarole Bay and Basaltic Shield formations, respectively. Those were formed by lava fountaining from several, possibly co-eruptive centres in shallow water, and a small subaerial edifice constructed during low-energy explosive eruptions and lava effusion. Phase 3. The sudden connection of magma between two magma chambers beneath Deception Island probably triggered the caldera-forming eruption on Deception Island. That eruption is the only large-scale event known to have affected the volcano, and the eruption characteristics (dynamics, dominant lithofacies, etc) are significantly different from other eruptions on the island.

  • Dear Editor and Reviewers, We Would Like to Thank
    Dear editor and reviewers, We would like to thank you sincerely for your constructive comments of our manuscript. We have revised the manuscript according to your suggestions and comments. Please find below a point-by-point response. We hope that the revised version of the manuscript properly addresses your concerns. Please note that we provide our answers in blue below each of the reviewer’s comment. Sincerely, Mohammad Farzamian on behalf of all authors Author response to reviewer comment Referee #1: In this study, presented by M. Farzamian et al. a quasi-autonomous electrical resistivity tomography was applied in Crater Lake research site, Antarctica. The study shows the potential to describe fast changes in the active layer of a remote permafrost dominated region with a relatively easy measurement set up. The overall quality of the paper is good, I have only minor points to add or change: We would like to thank Anonymous Referee #1 for evaluating our manuscript. We highly appreciate the overall positive comments. 1) p. 3., l. 30: Please reconsider citing order, this seems a bit odd! We corrected it accordingly. Old Version (Page 3. Line 30) (e.g. Ramos et al., 2008; Vieira et al., 2010; Bockheim et al., 2013; Melo et al., 2012; Goyanes et al., 2014; Ramos et al., 2017) New version (Page 3. Line 29) (e.g. Ramos et al., 2008; Vieira et al., 2010; Melo et al., 2012; Bockheim et al., 2013; Goyanes et al., 2014; Ramos et al., 2017) 1 2) p.5: Are the snow fields interpolated from the mini loggers? If so, how? Could Machine Learning be a method in addition to the camera? The temperature miniloggers allow for estimating the snow thickness at two points only, however, the images from the time-lapse camera allow for detecting the snow cover position.
