Seal Beach, CA Moffett Field, CA Floyd Knobs, IN Berkeley, CA Madison, WI GENERAL INFORMATION Gravitational and Space Biology Bulletin (ISSN 1089-988X) is a journal devoted to research in gravitational and space biology. It is published by the American Society for Gravitational and Space Biology, a non-profit organization whose members share a common goal of furthering the understanding of the biological effects of gravity and the use of the unique environment of spaceflight for biological research. The Bulletin is overseen by a steering committee consisting of the Publications Committee, the Bulletin Editor, the President, and the Secretary- Treasurer of the ASGSB. This issue of Gravitational and Space Biology Bulletin was printed at Common Wealth Printing Co., Inc., Hadley, Massachusetts.. The American Society for Gravitational and Space Biology was created in 1984 to provide an avenue for scientists interested in gravitational and space biology to share information and join together to speak with a united voice in support of this field of science. The biological effects of gravity have been acknowledged since Galileo's time, but only in this century has gravitational biology begun to attract attention. With the birth of the space age, the opportunity for experimentation over the full spectrum of gravity finally became a reality, and a new environment and research tool became available to probe biological phenomena and expand scientific knowledge. Space and spaceflight introduced new questions about space radiation and the physiological and psychological effects of the artificial environment of spacecraft. The objectives of ASGSB are: · To promote research, education, training, and development in the areas of gravitational and space biology and to apply the knowledge gained to a better understanding of the effect of gravity and space environmental factors on the flora and fauna of Earth. · To disseminate information on gravitational and space biology research and the application of this research to the solution of terrestrial and space biological problems. · To provide a forum for communication among professionals in academia, government, business, and other segments of society involved in gravitational and space biological research and application. · To promote the study of concepts and the implementation of programs that can achieve these ends and further the advancement and welfare of humankind. A Collaborative Production: This issue of the Gravitational and Space Biology Bulletin was produced through a collaboration with the Professional Writing and Technical Communication Program at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Under the direction of Dr. John Nelson, the PWTC Program has trained students for a variety of professions that demand excellent technical writing and editing skills. Since its inception in 1990, the program has placed nearly 100% of its graduates. The American Society for Gravitational and Space Biology is pleased to sponsor an editorial fellowship for students in the PWTC program at the University of Massachusetts, and gratefully acknowledges the contributions of its students and directors to the production of our journal. MEMBERSHIP: The American Society for Gravitational and Space Biology welcomes individual, organizational, and corporate members in all of the basic and applied fields of the space and gravitational life sciences.

  • The South Polar Race Medal
    The South Polar Race Medal Created by Danuta Solowiej The way to the South Pole / Sydpolen. Roald Amundsen’s track is in Red and Captain Scott’s track is in Green. The South Polar Race Medal Roald Amundsen and his team reaching the Sydpolen on 14 Desember 1911. (Obverse) Captain R. F. Scott, RN and his team reaching the South Pole on 17 January 1912. (Reverse) Created by Danuta Solowiej Published by Sim Comfort Associates 29 March 2012 Background The 100th anniversary of man’s first attainment of the South Pole recalls a story of two iron-willed explorers committed to their final race for the ultimate prize, which resulted in both triumph and tragedy. In July 1895, the International Geographical Congress met in Lon- don and opened Antarctica’s portal by deciding that the southern- most continent would become the primary focus of new explora- tion. Indeed, Antarctica is the only such land mass in our world where man has ventured and not found man. Up until that time, no one had explored the hinterland of the frozen continent, and even the vast majority of its coastline was still unknown. The meet- ing touched off a flurry of activity, and soon thereafter national expeditions and private ventures started organizing: the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration had begun, and the attainment of the South Pole became the pinnacle of that age. Roald Engelbregt Gravning Amundsen (1872-1928) nurtured at an early age a strong desire to be an explorer in his snowy Norwegian surroundings, and later sailed on an Arctic sealing voyage.

Patricia Margaret Millar Date ii Abstract Photographers made a major contribution to the recording of the Heroic Era of Antarctic exploration. By far the best known photographers were the professionals, Herbert Ponting and Frank Hurley, hired to photograph British and Australasian expeditions. But a great number of photographs were also taken on Belgian, German, Swedish, French, Norwegian and Japanese expeditions. These were taken by amateurs, sometimes designated official photographers, often scientists recording their research. Apart from a few Pole-reaching images from the Norwegian expedition, these lesser known expedition photographers and their work seldom feature in the scholarly literature on the Heroic Era, but they, too, have their importance. They played a vital role in the growing understanding and advancement of Antarctic science; they provided visual evidence of their nation’s determination to penetrate the polar unknown; and they played a formative role in public perceptions of Antarctic geopolitics.

  • Marinens Rolle I Norsk Polarhistorie
    MARINENS ROLLE I NORSK POLARHISTORIE En kort introduksjon fra Marinemuseet i anledning markeringen av polarjubileet 2011 med vekt på ekspedisjonene og deltagerne fra Marinen. Marinemuseet 1 Marinens rolle i norsk polarhistorie “Seier venter den, som har alt i orden - held kalder man det. Nederlag er en absolutt følge for den, som har for- sømt at ta de nødvendige forholdsregler i tide - uheld kaldes det” Roald Amundsen En defi nisjon av hva som faller innenfor polarhistorien kan det være delte meninger om. Oppfatningen av hva som kan regnes inn i begrepet har trolig endret seg noe etter hvert som nye områderområder har blitt funnet og aktivt tatt i bruk. Men de fl este er trolig enige om at Norge har spilt- og fortsatt spiller en viktig rolle i polarhistorien. Kanskje er det til og med riktig å si at vår rolle som polarnasjon har vært- og er en viktig del av vår nasjonale identitet.identitet. Til denne rollen og identiteten kan det knyttes fl ere dimensjoner som av ulike grupper vektlegges forskjellig. Fiske og fangst er en dimensjon, nye sjøveier for handelsskip er en annen og vitenskaplige undersøkelser en tredje. Mest kjent og kanskje også viktigst for mange er likevel de dristige ekspedisjo- nene inn i det ukjente, oppdagelsene av nye områder og selve det å være først.2007 var defi nert som det internasjonale polaråret og fra norsk side ble det igangsatt en rekke vitenskapelige prosjekter som først avsluttes våren 2011. Inneværende år, 2011, har Regjeringen defi nert som Nansen-Amundsen-året. At dette har fått langt større fokus understreker at oppdager-dimensjonen nok er den viktigste for folk fl est.En lang rekke institusjoner jobberjobber med ulike aspekter av polarhistorien og gjennom sine egne publikasjoner og hjemmesider formidles dette til publikum.

  • The Reception and Commemoration of William Speirs Bruce Are, I Suggest, Part
    The University of Edinburgh School of Geosciences Institute of Geography A SCOT OF THE ANTARCTIC: THE RECEPTION AND COMMEMORATION OF WILLIAM SPEIRS BRUCE M.Sc. by Research in Geography Innes M. Keighren 12 September 2003 Declaration of originality I hereby declare that this dissertation has been composed by me and is based on my own work. 12 September 2003 ii Abstract 2002–2004 marks the centenary of the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition. Led by the Scots naturalist and oceanographer William Speirs Bruce (1867–1921), the Expedition, a two-year exploration of the Weddell Sea, was an exercise in scientific accumulation, rather than territorial acquisition. Distinct in its focus from that of other expeditions undertaken during the ‘Heroic Age’ of polar exploration, the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition, and Bruce in particular, were subject to a distinct press interpretation. From an examination of contemporary newspaper reports, this thesis traces the popular reception of Bruce—revealing how geographies of reporting and of reading engendered locally particular understandings of him. Inspired, too, by recent work in the history of science outlining the constitutive significance of place, this study considers the influence of certain important spaces—venues of collection, analysis, and display—on the conception, communication, and reception of Bruce’s polar knowledge. Finally, from the perspective afforded by the centenary of his Scottish National Antarctic Expedition, this paper illustrates how space and place have conspired, also, to direct Bruce’s ‘commemorative trajectory’—to define the ways in which, and by whom, Bruce has been remembered since his death. iii Acknowledgements For their advice, assistance, and encouragement during the research and writing of this thesis I should like to thank Michael Bolik (University of Dundee); Margaret Deacon (Southampton Oceanography Centre); Graham Durant (Hunterian Museum); Narve Fulsås (University of Tromsø); Stanley K.

  • Fredrik Hjalmar Johansen -.:Ejército De Tierra
    Johansen Fredrik Hjalmar Johansen nació y murió en Noruega, en Skien en 1867 y Oslo en 1913. Hijo de un granjero medianamente acomodado, recibió educación, aunque tuvo que abandonarla al fallecer su padre cuando él contaba con 21 años. Sus condiciones físicas eran excelentes, destacando como esquiador y, sobre todo como gimnasta. Llegó a ser campeón de Noruega a los 20 años y participó en los campeonatos de París en 1889. Participó con el Fram en dos de las más grandes expediciones polares de todos los tiempos. En la primera, acompañó a Nansen en su proyecto de alcanzar del Polo Norte, entre 1893 y 1896. Ocupó el único puesto que quedaba libre: el de fogonero. Aun así, Nansen lo eligió para acompañarlo en su intento de alcanzar el eje del mundo. No se logró el objetivo pero sí se estableció una nueva marca que superar. Al regreso del viaje, fueron recibidos con todos los honores y Johansen fue promovido a capitán de infantería en Noruega. No desempeñó bien el puesto; bebía demasiado y tuvo que abandonar el ejército. Por mediación de Nansen, después se embarcaría de nuevo en el Fram, con Amundsen al mando, cuando éste se propuso y consiguió pisar el Polo Sur. Amundsen, por su fortaleza, su experiencia y su habilidad en el manejo de trineos, lo eligió entre los hombres que iban a acompañarlo al Polo Sur. Pero un altercado entre ambos le haría reconsiderar esa decisión. En uno de los viajes para llevar provisiones a los depósitos intermedios que servirían de apoyo para el asalto definitivo al polo, las condiciones meteorológicas empeoraron súbitamente.

  • Roald Amundsen Essay Prepared for the Encyclopedia of the Arctic by Jonathan M
    Roald Amundsen Essay prepared for The Encyclopedia of the Arctic By Jonathan M. Karpoff No polar explorer can lay claim to as many major accomplishments as Roald Amundsen. Amundsen was the first to navigate a Northwest Passage between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the first to reach the South Pole, and the first to lay an undisputed claim to reaching the North Pole. He also sailed the Northeast Passage, reached a farthest north by air, and made the first crossing of the Arctic Ocean. Amundsen also was an astute and respectful ethnographer of the Netsilik Inuits, leaving valuable records and pictures of a two-year stay in northern Canada. Yet he appears to have been plagued with a public relations problem, regarded with suspicion by many as the man who stole the South Pole from Robert F. Scott, constantly having to fight off creditors, and never receiving the same adulation as his fellow Norwegian and sometime mentor, Fridtjof Nansen. Roald Engelbregt Gravning Amundsen was born July 16, 1872 in Borge, Norway, the youngest of four brothers. He grew up in Oslo and at a young age was fascinated by the outdoors and tales of arctic exploration. He trained himself for a life of exploration by taking extended hiking and ski trips in Norway’s mountains and by learning seamanship and navigation. At age 25, he signed on as first mate for the Belgica expedition, which became the first to winter in the south polar region. Amundsen would form a lifelong respect for the Belgica’s physician, Frederick Cook, for Cook’s resourcefulness in combating scurvy and freeing the ship from the ice.
