The main objective of the work was to establish a Plan for the Integrated Utilization of the Water Resources of the Hydrographic Basin of the Cunene River. As the elaboration of this Plan is a multi-disciplinary task, it was deemed preferable to grant independence of reporting on the work of each team that contributed to the final objective. That is why each report consists of a compilation of volumes. REPORT I VOLUME 1 – SYNTHESIS (discarded)

  • 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.

  • (Site of Special Scientific Interest No. 21) Shores of Deception Island, South Shetland Islands I
    Antarctic Specially Protected Area No. 140 (Site of Special Scientific Interest No. 21) Shores of Deception Island, South Shetland Islands i. Description of Site. The Site includes 5 areas on the coast of Port Foster, Deception Island (lat 62o55’S, long 60o37’W): Area A. From the west side of Entrance Point to the west side of Collins Point on the south side of Neptune’s Bellows, and extending 500 m inland from the shore. Area B. Mid Fumarole Bay, south-west of Wensleydale Point extending for 500 m along the shore, to the line precipitous lava cliffs about 100 m inland. Area C. The ‘island’ created during the 1967 eruption in Telefon Bay, and including the low land, containing a lake, which presently joins the new ‘island’ to the main island. Area D. A strip 100 m wide extending from the high-water mark of the heated shoreline of Pendulum Cove inland to a series of gullies about 750 m inland. The area lies about 300 m south of the former Chilean station Pedro Aguirre Cerda. Area E. Kroner Lake including the land within 50 m of its shore. The boundaries of these areas of the Site are shown on the attached map. ASPA 140 Map A* ii. Reason for designation. Deception Island is exceptional because of its volcanic activity, having had major eruption 1967, 1969 and 1970. Parts of the island were completely destroyed, new areas were created, others covered by varying depths of ash. Few areas of the interior were unaffected. The island offers unique 220 opportunities to study colonization processes in an Antarctic environment (the South Sandwich Islands and Bouvetøya are at a more advanced stage of colonization while Mt.

  • 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.

  • Biodiversity Patterns Across the Late Paleozoic Ice Age
    Palaeontologia Electronica palaeo-electronica.org Biodiversity patterns across the Late Paleozoic Ice Age Barbara Seuss, Vanessa Julie Roden, and Ádám T. Kocsis ABSTRACT The Late Palaeozoic Ice Age (LPIA, Famennian to Wuchiapingian) witnessed two transitions between ice- and greenhouse conditions. These alternations led to drastic alterations in the marine system (e.g., sea-level, habitat size, sea-surface temperature) forcing faunal changes. To reassess the response of the global marine fauna, we ana- lyze diversity dynamics of brachiopod, bivalve, and gastropod taxa throughout the LPIA using data from the Paleobiology Database. Diversity dynamics were assessed regarding environmental affinities of these clades. Our analyses indicate that during the LPIA more taxa had an affinity towards siliciclastic than towards carbonate environ- ments. Deep-water and reefal habitats were more favored while grain size was less determining. In individual stages of the LPIA, the clades show rather constant affinities towards an environment. Those bivalves and brachiopods with an affinity differ in their habitat preferences, indicating that there might have been little competition among these two clades. Origination and extinction rates are similar during the main phase of the LPIA, whether environmental affinities are considered or not. This underlines that the LPIA marine fauna was well adapted and capable of reacting to changing environ- mental and climatic conditions. Since patterns of faunal change are similar in different environments, our study implies that the changes in faunal composition (e.g., diversity loss during the LPIA; strong increase of brachiopod diversity during the Permian) were influenced by the habitat to only a minor degree but most likely by yet unknown abiotic factors.
