However, other than a preliminary attempt to reconstruct Antarctic topography at the Eocene–Oligocene boundary, the long-term evolution of Antarctica's subglacial topography throughout its glacial history has not previously been quantified. Here, we derive new reconstructions of Antarctic topography for four key time slices in Antarctica's climate andglacial history: the Eocene–Oligocene boundary (ca. 34 Ma), the Oligocene–Miocene boundary (ca. 23 Ma), the mid-Miocene climate transition (ca. 14 Ma), and the mid- Pliocene warm period (ca. 3.5 Ma). To reconstruct past topography, we consider a series of processes including ice sheet loading, volcanism, thermal subsidence, horizontal plate motion, erosion, sedimentation and flexural isostatic adjustment, and validate our models where possible using onshore and offshore geological constraints. Our reconstructions show that the land area of Antarctica situated above sea level was ~25% larger at the Eocene–Oligocene boundary than at the present-day.

  • Boletín Informativo N°2/2017 Del Instituto De Investigaciones Histórico Aeronáuticas De Chile Siminic Ossio, Iván
    cur REVISTA SKUA - N°2/2020 - INSTITUTO DE INVESTIGACIONES HISTÓRICO AERONÁUTICAS DE CHILE 2 “Chile, fértil provincia, y señalada En la región Antártica famosa, De remotas naciones respetada Por fuerte, principal y poderosa; La gente que produce es tan granada, Tan soberbia, gallarda y belicosa, Que no ha sido por Rey jamás regida Ni a extranjero dominio sometida.” Alonso de Ercilla y Zúñiga (1569) La Araucana, poema épico basado en la conquista española de esta parte de América del Sur, bautizada como Chile. No sé si hoy se aún se enseñe en nuestros colegios, pero sí sé, que aún se le considera una de las obras de la literatura española, más relevante a nivel mundial. En mí no tan buena memoria, junto a mis no tan esmerados períodos de aplicación escolar, puedo aún recordar con especial cariño, las líneas que elegí para comenzar este editorial. Cuando este 23 de junio se cumple el quincuagésimo noveno aniversario de la entrada en vigor del Tratado Antártico, del cual Chile es uno de los doce países signatarios, se me hace difícil no asociar a esta hermosa pieza con un claro y certero testimonio de identidad como también de herencia geoestratégica. ¿Qué argumentos más válidos podríamos esgrimir, para indicar al mundo, quienes somos y dónde estamos? ¿Hay alguna otra nación, que pueda argumentar alguna pretensión escrita, similar o más antigua, para con la Antártica? REVISTA SKUA - N°2/2020 - INSTITUTO DE INVESTIGACIONES HISTÓRICO AERONÁUTICAS DE CHILE 3 Hoy, este nuevo “Skua” continúa el vuelo que iniciamos hace tres meses, a través de los relatos, estudios y experiencias que vuelven a conectar este Chile continental con el Territorio Chileno Antártico, tantas veces desconocido e inexplorado, no sólo conquistado por DERECHO y NATURAL HERENCIA, sino que también por la tenacidad, voluntad y valor de vivirlo, explorarlo y quererlo, territorio dueño de una historia e identidad que forma parte íntegra de la fortaleza e ingenuidad que nos hace y distingue como chilenos.

Ashwortha,*, David J. Cantrillb aDepartment of Geosciences, North Dakota State University, Fargo, ND 58105-5517, USA bDepartment of Palaeobotany, Swedish Museum of Natural History, Box 50007, SE-104 05, Stockholm, Sweden Received 5 November 2003; received in revised form 28 May 2004; accepted 2 July 2004 Abstract A tundra vegetation consisting of at least 18 plant species is described from the Meyer Desert Formation which outcrops along the Beardmore Glacier in the Transantarctic Mountains, about 500 km from the South Pole. The fossils include pollen, seeds, fruits, flowers, leaves, wood, and in situ plants, of which wood and leaves of Nothofagus and a pollen assemblage had been previously reported. The plants include a cryptogamic flora of mosses and liverworts, conifers, and angiosperms in the families Gramineae, Cyperaceae, Nothofagaceae, Ranunculaceae, Hippuridaceae, ?Caryophyllaceae, and ?Chenopodiaceae or ?Myrtaceae. The plants grew in a weakly-developed soil formed within a complex periglacial environment that included moraines, glacial outwash streams, well-drained gravel ridges, and poorly drained depressions in which peat and marl were being deposited.

  • Searcher Studies Sea Ice Breakup by Emily Stone Sun Staff Most People Walking Across Ice Hope It Doesn’T Break
    Published during the austral summer at McMurdo Station, Antarctica, for the United States Antarctic Program December 12, 2004 Hanging out on the ice Taking a crack at ice Researcher studies sea ice breakup By Emily Stone Sun staff Most people walking across ice hope it doesn’t break. John Dempsey came to Antarctica to force ice to crack, and then study how it happened. He’s researching the speed and direction of ice cracks, and how cracking is affected by changes in temperature, salinity, and the microstructure of the ice. He is focussed on how warmer ice breaks. Dempsey, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Clarkson University in Potsdam, New York, left McMurdo Saturday after seven weeks here. His field work was done at the group’s sea ice camp, dubbed Stonehenge because of the large, rectangular slabs of ice the researchers stood on end after cutting the slabs to prepare for the experiment. Curious Adelie penguins stopped by every now and then to check out what the group was up to and seals occasionally used holes the group cut to come up for a breath. See Sea ice on page 10 Creative minds, busy hands Off-hours filled with arts and crafts By Kristan Hutchison Sun staff People working in Antarctica tend to be crafty, turning idle hours into productive time. After work, many people keep their hands busy knitting, carving, or otherwise creating. “We’re the kind of folk who can take baling wire and duct tape and turn it into something pretty impressive,” said Barb Watson, instrument technician at Palmer Station, where arts and crafts are perhaps the most popular.
