Gleichzeitig repräsentiert diese Region mit sechs ansässigen Stationen, zahlreichen Feldhütten sowie einer Landebahn das logistische Zentrum im Bereich der Antarktischen Halbinsel, woraus häufig Interessenkonflikte zwischen den verschiedenen Nutzergruppen und den gesetzlich festgeschriebenen Umweltschutzstandards in der Antarktis resultieren. Aufgrund der hohen Bedeutung langfristiger Monitoringprogramme, insbesondere in Gebieten rasanter klimatischer Veränderungen und mit einem hohen Gefährdungsrisiko für die Schutzgüter der Region, wurde die in den 1980er Jahren begonnene Bestandsaufnahme der lokalen Brutvogel- und Robbengemeinschaft in der Fildes-Region während der Sommermonate (Dezember bis Februar) der Saisons 2012/13 bis 2014/15 fortgesetzt. Daneben erfolgte eine Brutvogelerfassung in allen größeren eisfreien Bereichen der an die Fildes-Region angrenzenden Maxwell Bay. Diese umfassten die Gebiete Barton, Weaver und Potter Peninsula, am Green Point (alle King George Island) sowie für Stansbury Peninsula, Martin und Duthoit Point (alle Nelson Island). Für die Analyse von Langzeittrends der Vogel- sowie der Robbenbestände wurden zusätzlich zu eigenen Erfassungen umfangreiche Daten aus zahlreichen, bislang unveröffentlichten Expeditionsberichten deutscher Wissenschaftler aus den 1980er Jahren sowie sämtlicher verfügbarer Literatur herangezogen. Die Ergebnisse dieser beiden Monitoringschwerpunkte werden in dem vorliegenden Forschungsbericht präsentiert. Deutlich wird hierbei, dass die Mehrzahl der Seevogelarten hinsichtlich ihrer Brutpaarzahlen vornehmlich von natürlichen Umweltfaktoren abhängen, andere dagegen stärker auf anthropogene Einflüsse reagieren. Zusätzlich wurden anhand von Luft- und Satellitenaufnahmen teilweise erhebliche Gletscherrückzugsgebiete ausgewählter Bereiche der Maxwell Bay in Bezug auf die regionale klimatische Entwicklung dokumentiert. Abstract The Fildes Region (King George Island, South Shetland Islands), consisting of the Fildes Peninsula, the neighbouring Ardley Island and all larger, nearby islands, is one of the largest ice-free regions in maritime Antarctica and has a relatively high level of biodiversity. This area also represents the logistical centre of the Antarctic Peninsula with its six permanent stations, numerous field huts and an airstrip which often leads to conflict of interests between the different use groups and the legally established environmental protection standards in Antarctica. Given the great importance of long-term monitoring programmes, especially in regions with natural resources at high risk and in areas of rapid climatic change, the survey of local breeding birds and seal communities started in the 1980s in the Fildes Region was continued in the summer months (December to February) of the 2012/13 to 2014/15 seasons. Besides, a monitoring of breeding birds in all large ice-free areas of Maxwell Bay, which borders the Fildes Region. These included the Barton, Weaver and Potter Peninsulas, Green Point (all on King George Island) and for the Stansbury Peninsula, Martin and Duthoit Points (all on Nelson Island). To analyse long-term trends in the bird and seal populations, extensive data from numerous, still unpublished expedition reports of German scientists from the 1980s and all available literature were added to recent observations. The results of both monitoring focus areas are presented in this research report. It could be shown, that regarding their breeding pair numbers most seabird species depend primarily on environmental factors, 5 whereas others are more affected by anthropogenic impacts. Additionally, considerable glacial retreat in selected regions of the Maxwell Bay with reference to the regional climate changes were documented on the basis of aerial and satellite images. 6 7

Results are compared with published data on requirements for growth of Antarctic macroalgae. The investigated season showed two distinct periods: Early summer lasted until end of December with comparatively cold temperatures, unstable water column and deep penetration of light; late summer started in early January and was characterized by reduced salinity due to meltwater discharge and high turbidity due to suspended sediments. Meltwater influence did not sufficiently change salinity to be responsible for the frequently noted paucity of macroalgal communities in sheltered bays. Shading by suspended sediments was equally considered to be of minor importance, as macroalgae have their optimal growth phase from September to December. During this period, light penetration and depth distribution of macro algae coincide perfectlY.

  • A Method for Assessing the Eco-Environmental Vulnerability Of
    A METHOD FOR ASSESSING THE ECO-ENVIRONMENTAL VULNERABILITY OF FILDES PENINSULA, ANTARCTICA Xiaoping Pang [email protected] 1 School of Resource and Environmental Science Wuhan University Wuhan 430079, China 2.Chinese Antarctic Center of Surveying and Mapping, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China; Shanshan Tong [email protected] School of Resource and Environmental Science Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China Peilan Liu [email protected] School of Resource and Environmental Science Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China Abstract Global change and sustainable development have become a hot topic in the world today. Recent studies concerning the impact of the global change on Antarctic and the interaction between global change and Antarctic environment have covered different scales and different disciplines in China. However, it is extremely difficult to implement comprehensive researches on the Antarctic environment change issues due to the peculiar conditions in this region. The methodology which combines the multi-scale information is a desirable and effective way for the study on the global change and Antarctic reactions. Focused on ice-free areas along Antarctic coast, this research analyzes the factors that contribute to eco-environmental vulnerability in ice-free areas, and brings forward a new technical framework for eco-environmental vulnerability quantitative assessment based on GIS. The assessment results can serve as a valuable basis for administration department to protect the Fildes Peninsula from artificial destruction. The body of this paper begins with a description of the characteristic of eco-environment vulnerability in Fildes Peninsula, which is a typical ice-free area located in the northeast Antarctic and exemplifies the whole evaluation process.

(2) GEOTOP, UNIVERSITE DU QUEBEC A MONTREAL 1200 Saint Alexandra H3C3P8 MONTREAL, CANADA. SUMMARY The measurement of radium by TIMS allows analysis on small water samples (100 ml). After Ra /Ba separation by chromatography the radium is measnred by mass spectrometry with an uncertainty of 2 %. Radium with an half fife of 1620 years is a very interesting radichronometer in a time range (0-5000) for which the radiocarbon datation on total dissolved inorganic carbon is quite difficult. Three sources of Radium has been identified: the radium coming from the dissolution of carbonates, the radium issued from 230Th decay, 230Th which is insoluble and absorbed on the grain surface and the radium produced by recoil effect. In the unconfined aquifer with ages from 0 to 4000 the dissolution process is the major source. For older water in the confined part of the aquifer, the radium produced by the decay of the absorbed 23OTh cannot be neglected- The radium produced by recoil effect is very low. Through a geochemieal modeJ based on strontium concentration (which has the same chemical behaviour of radium) the three sources of radium are taken in account for an age calculation.

  • Sensitivity Analysis Identifies High Influence Sites for Estimates of Penguin Krill Consumption on the Antarctic Peninsula

LYNCH1, NORMAN RATCLIFFE2, JENNIFER PASSMORE2, EMMA FOSTER2 and PHILIP N. TRATHAN2 1Ecology & Evolution Department, 640 Life Sciences Building, Stony Brook University, Stony Brook, NY 11794, USA 2British Antarctic Survey, NERC, High Cross, Madingley Road, Cambridge CB3 0ET, UK [email protected] Abstract: Krill consumption by natural predators represents a critical link between surveys and models of standing krill biomass and the design of a sustainable krill fishery for the Scotia Sea. Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) is a significant component of diet for penguins breeding in this region and, consequently, uncertainties regarding penguin population abundances contribute to uncertainties in krill predation estimates. We use a comprehensive database of Antarctic penguin abundances to identify 14 breeding colonies that contribute most significantly to uncertainty regarding the total number of pygoscelid penguins breeding in this region. We find that a high quality survey of Zavodovski Island alone would decrease uncertainty in total population by 24.8%, whereas high quality surveys of all 14 ‘‘high-influence’’ locations would decrease uncertainty by almost 72%. Updated population estimates at these sites should be considered top priority for future fieldwork in the region. Our results are based on a robust

Our knowledge on the lysianassoid fauna, even in well-studied areas of the Western Antarctic Peninsula, is incomplete. Here we report the findings of an integrated study of lysianassoid amphipods of Potter Cove, King George Island/ Isla 25 de Mayo (KGI), combining morphological and molecular species identification (COI barcoding) methods, investigating more than 41,000 specimens from baited traps. For comparison, 2039 specimens from the adjacent Marian Cove were analysed. Ten lysianassoid species were recorded in the deeper outer Potter Cove, whereas the inner cove (<50 m) was dominated by a single species, Cheirimedon femoratus Pfeffer, 1888 (99.44% relative abundance). It is hypothesized that the impoverished lysianassoid fauna inside the meltwater-influenced inner cove represents a 1model for future conditions along the Western Antarctic Peninsula under conditions of increased glacial melting.

    I would like to thank the anonymous reviewer, the suggestions are very pertinent and the majority was implemented into the corrections improving the quality of the paper. The aspect regarding the processes taking place in AB and B horizons were restricted to the main focus of the paper, the thermal regime of Cryosols from this region, aspects regarding pedological processes as covered more specifically in a diferent paper “Cryosols and Morphogenetic Considerations from Fildes Peninsula and Ardley Island, Maritime Antarctica”. Paper devoted to the investigation of underestimated climate change affect of active layer dynamic in Anatarctic cryosphere. Data obtained are very important for under- standing of periglacial environment and modelling of soil climate. It is nessesary to describe the soil cover, pedodiversity and types of parent material not only for investi- gated plot, but also for different environments of the Fildes peninsula. It is nessessary to specify what authors mean on AB and B horizons (please, define it). Which soil pro- cesses take place in these horizons? Why the are no O and A horizons in soil, formed undes mosses and lichens? Please provide data on skeletal (stone) fraction in soil.
