PROGRAMMA NAZIONALE DI RICERCHE IN ANTARTIDE Rapporto sulla Campagna Antartica Estate Australe 2013-2014 Ventinovesima Spedizione ISSN 1723-7084 Programma Nazionale di Ricerche in Antartide ENEA/UTA - Via Anguillarese, 301 - 00123 Roma. Tel.: 06 30484816, Fax: 06 30484893, E-mail: [email protected] Premessa Premessa Con decreto Direttoriale n.417 (del 11.3.2013) il MIUR ha lanciato il bando PNRA che riguarda la disciplina delle procedure per la presentazione di proposte di progetti di ricerca rivolti ad approfondire le conoscenze in Antartide del prossimo triennio. I progetti di ricerca dovranno riguardare le seguenti tematiche: dinamica dell'atmosfera e processi climatici; dinamica della calotta polare; dinamica della Terra solida ed evoluzione della criosfera; dinamica degli oceani polari; relazioni Sole-Terra e space weather; l'universo sopra l'Antartide; evoluzione, adattamento e biodiversità; l'uomo in ambienti estremi; contaminazione ambientale; paleo clima; problematiche e rischi ambientali; tecnologia: innovazione e sperimentazione. Il bando si articola su tre linee di intervento: A. Progetti di ricerca in Antartide presso le stazioni Concordia e Mario Zucchelli e su nave nel Mare di Ross, in connessione con lo sviluppo delle campagne antartiche. B. Progetti da svolgersi in Italia su dati e materiali raccolti in precedenti campagne e/o per lo sviluppo di soluzioni tecnologiche innovative. C. Progetti di ricerca da svolgere su piattaforme fisse e mobili di altri paesi e/o nell'ambito di iniziative internazionali. La numerazione dei progetti della linea di intervento A è fatta in base alla piattaforma osservativa utilizzata (C= Stazione Concordia, Z= Stazione Mario Zucchelli, N= nave oceanografica) e alla classifica- zione nelle tre aree scientifiche fondamentali: Scienze della Vita= 1.yy, Scienze della Terra= 2.yy, Scienze Fisiche= 3.yy, Tecnologie= 4.yy con yy numero progressivo del progetto. Le loro sigle avranno quindi l’aspetto seguente: 2013/ACx.yy per i progetti che si svolgeranno presso la Stazione Concordia. 2013/ANx.yy per i progetti che si svolgeranno a bordo della nave Italica. 2013/AZx.yy per i progetti che si svolgeranno presso la Stazione Mario Zucchelli. Alcuni dei progetti di ricerca che saranno svolti durante la XXIX Spedizione si riferiscono però al triennio precedente che era organizzato in modo differente e che si basava sulle seguenti tipologie, indipendente- mente dalla piattaforma operativa: A. Attività di ricerca scientifica e tecnologica: A1 – Scienze della vita. Attività di ricerca scientifica e tecnologica: A2 – Scienze della terra. Attività di ricerca scientifica e tecnologica: A3 – Scienze dell’atmosfera e dello spazio. Attività di ricerca scientifica e tecnologica: A4 – Tecnologie. B. Attività di monitoraggio da osservatori permanenti: C. Attività in ambito di progetti speciali:C1 – Progetti per giovani ricercatori. Attività in ambito di progetti speciali:C2 – Divulgazione. Attività in ambito di progetti speciali:C3 – Data Management. Attività in ambito di progetti speciali:C4 – Coordinamento internazionale. Attività in ambito di progetti speciali:C5 – C Site Testing. ed avevano quindi le sigle aaaa/Ax.yy, aaaa/B.yy e aaaa/Cx.yy dove aaaa è l’anno di approvazione del progetto, x è l’attività (da 1 a 4 per la linea A e da 1 a 5 per l’attività C) mentre yy sono i numeri progressivi del progetto. Nel presente rapporto di spedizione i progetti verranno riportati in ordine alfabetico cominciando da quelli del triennio precedente. i Premessa ii Indice INDICE Premessa ..........................................................................................................................................................

  • High Altitude Geothermal Sites Of
    Measure 13 (2014) Annex Management Plan For Antarctic Specially Protected Area No. 175 HIGH ALTITUDE GEOTHERMAL SITES OF THE ROSS SEA REGION (including parts of the summits of Mount Erebus, Ross Island and Mount Melbourne and Mount Rittmann, northern Victoria Land) Introduction: There exist a few isolated sites in Antarctica where the ground surface is warmed by geothermal activity above the ambient air temperature. Steam emissions from fumaroles (openings at the Earth’s surface that emit steam and gases) condense forming a regular supply of water which, coupled with warm soil temperatures, provides an environment that selects for a unique and diverse assemblage of organisms. Geothermal sites are rare and small in extent covering no more than a few hectares on the Antarctic continent and circumpolar islands (or maritime sites). The biological communities that occur at continental geothermal sites are at high altitude and differ markedly to those communities that occur at maritime geothermal sites due to the differences in the abiotic environment. There are three high altitude geothermal sites in the Ross Sea region, known to have unique biological communities. These are the summits of Mount Erebus, on Ross Island, and Mount Melbourne and Mount Rittmann, both in northern Victoria Land. The only other known high altitude site in Antarctica where evidence of fumarolic activity has been seen is at Mount Berlin in Marie Byrd Land, West Antarctica, although no biological research has been conducted at this site. High altitude geothermal sites are vulnerable to the introduction of new species, particularly from human vectors, as they present an environment where organisms typical of more temperate regions can survive.

  • Outlet Glacier and Landscape Evolution of Victoria Land, Antarctica
    Outlet Glacier and Landscape Evolution of Victoria Land, Antarctica By Ross Whitmore Antarctic Research Centre Victoria University of Wellington A Thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington In fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In GEOLOGY June 2020 Fire and Ice By Robert Frost Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice. ABSTRACT Terrestrial cosmogenic exposure studies are an established and rapidly evolving tool for landscapes in both polar and non-polar regions. This thesis takes a multifaceted approach to utilizing and enhancing terrestrial cosmogenic methods. The three main components of this work address method development, reconstructing surface-elevation-changes in two large Antarctic outlet glaciers, and evaluating bedrock erosion rates in Victoria Land, Antarctica. Each facet of this work is intended to enhance its respective field, as well as benefit the other sections of this thesis. Quartz purification is a necessary and critical step to producing robust and reproducible results in terrestrial cosmogenic nuclide studies. Previous quartz purification work has centred on relatively coarse sample material (1 mm-500 µm) and is effective down to 125 µm. However, sample material finer than that poses significant purification challenges and this material is usually discarded. The new purification procedure outlined in this thesis shows that very fine sand size material (125-63 µm) can be reliably cleaned for use in terrestrial cosmogenic nuclide studies.

  • Antarctic Journey7 Part 1. Round the Rugged Rox
    ANTARCTIC JOURNEY7 PART 1. ROUND THE RUGGED ROX: SCOTT BASE Acknowledgements: THIS IS THE STORY OF AN EXPLORATORY ADVENTURE, UNDERTAKEN BY A SMALL TEAM OF GEOLOGISTS AND MOUNTAINEERS IN THE VICTORY MOUNTAINS OF ANTARCTICA IDURINGTHE SOUTHERN SUMMER OF 1966-7. HIRED BY THE NZ ANTARCTIC RESEARCH PROGRAMME WE LIVED IN TENTS, AND SLEDGED FOR FIFTY DAYS AROUND AN APPROXIMATELY 13,000 SQ KM MOUNTAINOUS AREA BY THE HEAD OF THE MARINER GLACIER TO FIND AN IMPORTANT GEOLOGICAL CONTACT. IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST EXPERIENCES OF MY ENTIRE LIFE. WE TRAVELED ABOUT 650 KM WITH TWO TOBOGGANS AND SLEDGES, CLIMBED NEW PEAKS, SAW INCREDIBLE VISTAS AND NAMED SIGNICANT FEATURES THAT ARE NOW ON THE OFFICIAL MAP. AND WE SUCCEEDED IN FINDING THE CONTACT. ABOVE ALL, WE APPRECIATED OUR LUCK AT BEING GIVEN SUCH AN OPPORTUNITY. so, Thanks to all my companions, especially Hank, Dave and Bruce for exceptional company and great memories, and to Maurice Chapman and his mum (THANKS ANNA!) for the inspiration to go back to my handwritten logs, and HAUL out this ACCOUNT. ALL ERRORS, MISTAKES AND HYPERBOLES ARE ENTIRELY MINE, BUT I HAVE TRIED FAITHFULLY TO KEEP TO WHAT I WROTE AT THE TIME, EVEN THE BAWDY, IRREVERENT CONVERSATIONS, AND WICKED STORM SONGS. When I was working at the New Zealand (Anakiwa) Outward Bound School as an instructor in early 1966, an advertisement appeared in the local paper offering employment for the NZ Antarctic Research Programme (NZARP) summer season at Scott Base. Since childhood, I'd harboured a deep desire to climb and explore down there.
