A zone extending 200 km beyond the region’s borders shows other volcanoes whose eruptions may directly affect Antarctica. Thirty-two Holocene volcanoes are located in Antarctica. Half of these volcanoes have no confirmed eruptions recorded during the Holocene, and therefore the activity state is uncertain. A further volcano, Mount Rittmann, is not included in this count as the most recent activity here was dated in the Pleistocene, however this is geothermally active as discussed in Herbold et al.

    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.

  • Balleny Paper
    XXIII ATCM/WP31 May, 1999 Original: English Agenda Item 7f) CEP II Agenda Item 5e) Proposed Balleny Island Specially Protected Area Submitted by New Zealand Error! Reference source not found. Proposed Balleny Island Specially Protected Area Summary New Zealand proposes that consideration be given to Specially Protected Area No.4 concerning Sabrina Island in the Balleny Islands being enlarged to include other Balleny Islands, together with a marine area surrounding the islands. A copy of the draft management plan is provided for information and consultation. The designation of an enlarged SPA is considered necessary to protect the unique and special ecological, scientific and aesthetic values of the area and to establish an archipelagic SPA in the Ross Sea region. Background At the Fourth Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting in Santiago in 1966, a small island in the Balleny Islands was designated as Specially Protected Area No. 4. Sabrina Island was accorded this status in recognition that the Balleny Islands are the most northerly Antarctic land in the Ross Sea region and support fauna and flora which reflect many circumpolar distributions at this latitude. The Balleny Islands (together with Scott Island) are the only truly marine or oceanic islands (rather than continental islands) on this side of Antarctica making them distinctive from any neighbouring areas. Located 250km off the coast of Antarctica in the northern Ross Sea, the Balleny Islands are a rare “oasis” of land in the Southern Ocean and their position is far enough north to be directly in the path of circumpolar ocean currents. Consequently their presence is likely to create upwellings, which tend to bring nutrient-rich deep water closer to the surface, which in turn makes the area biologically very productive.
