    6. Pinniped research at Cape Shirreff, Livingston Island, Antarctica, 2007/08; submitted by Michael E. Goebel, Birgitte I. McDonald, Scott Freeman, Russell G. Haner, Natalie B. Spear, and Stephanie N. Sexton. 6.1 Objectives: As upper trophic level predators, pinnipeds are a conspicuous component of the marine ecosystem around the South Shetland Islands. They respond to spatio-temporal changes in physical and biological oceanography and are directly dependent upon availability of krill (Euphausia superba) for maintenance, growth, and reproduction during the austral summer. Because of their current numbers and their pre-exploitation biomass in the Antarctic Peninsula region and Scotia Sea, Antarctic fur seals are recognized to be an important “krill-dependent” upper trophic level predator. The general objectives for U.S. AMLR pinniped research at Cape Shirreff (62o28'S, 60o46'W) are to monitor population demography and trends, reproductive success, and foraging ecology of pinnipeds throughout the summer months. The Antarctic fur seal, Arctocephalus gazella, is the most abundant pinniped at Cape Shirreff; our studies are focused to a large degree on the foraging ecology, diving behavior, foraging range, energetics, diet, and reproductive success of this species. The 2007/08 field season began with the arrival at Cape Shirreff of a five person field team via the R/V Laurence M. Gould on 7 November 2007. Research activities were initiated soon after and continued until closure of the camp on 8 March 2008. Our specific research objectives for the 2007/08 field season were to: A. Monitor Antarctic fur seal female attendance behavior (time at sea foraging and time ashore attending a pup); B.

It is made available under aCC-BY 4.0 International license. 1 Biodiversity Research and Innovation in Antarctica and the 2 Southern Ocean 3 2020 4 Paul Oldham and Jasmine Kindness1 5 Abstract 6 This article examines biodiversity research and innovation in Antarctica and the Southern 7 Ocean based on a review of 150,401 scientific articles and 29,690 patent families for 8 Antarctic species. The paper exploits the growing availability of open access databases, 9 such as the Lens and Microsoft Academic Graph, along with taxonomic data from the Global 10 Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) to explore the scientific and patent literature for 11 the Antarctic at scale. The paper identifies the main contours of scientific research in 12 Antarctica before exploring commercially oriented biodiversity research and development 13 in the scientific literature and patent publications. The paper argues that biodiversity is not 14 a free good and must be paid for. Ways forward in debates on commercial research and 15 development in Antarctica can be found through increasing attention to the valuation of 16 ecosystem services, new approaches to natural capital accounting and payment for 17 ecosystem services that would bring the Antarctic, and the Antarctic Treaty System, into 18 the wider fold of work on the economics of biodiversity.

Los limites de la Vida en la gradiente poliextrema del campo geotermal de Dallol. Life limits at the polyextreme gradients of the Dallol geothermal field Microbial life has adapted to various individual extreme conditions; yet, organisms simultaneously adapted to very low pH, high salt and high temperature are unknown. I will present evidence from combined environmental 16S/18S rRNA-gene metabarcoding, cultural approaches, fluorescence- activated cell sorting, scanning electron microscopy and chemical analyses supporting the existence of physicochemical barriers preventing active life along such unique polyextreme gradients in the Dallol- Danakil area (Ethiopia). We identify two physicochemical barriers to life in the presence of surface liquid water defined by: i) high chaotropicity-low water activity in Mg2+/Ca2+-dominated brines and ii) hyperacidity-salt combinations.

  • Modeling of Subduction Components in the Genesis of the Meso-Cenozoic Igneous Rocks from the South Shetland Arc, Antarctica
    Modeling of subduction components in the Genesis of the Meso-Cenozoic igneous rocks from the South Shetland Arc, Antarctica Adriane Machadoa,T, Farid Chemale Jr.a, Rommulo V. Conceic¸a˜oa, Koji Kawaskitaa, Diego Moratab, Orlando Oteı´zab, William R. Van Schmusc aFederal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Institute of Geosciences, Isotope Geology Laboratory, Av.

These islands were formed during 87 86 subduction of the Phoenix Plate under the Antarctica Plate from Cretaceous to Tertiary. Isotopically ( Sr/ Sr)o ratios vary from 143 144 0.7033 to 0.7046 and ( Nd/ Nd)o ratios from 0.5127 to 0.5129. qNd values vary from +2.71 to +7.30 that indicate asthenospheric mantle source for the analysed samples. 208Pb/204Pb ratios vary from 38.12 to 38.70, 207Pb/204Pb ratios are between 15.49 and 15.68, and 206Pb/204Pb from 18.28 to 18.81. The South Shetland rocks are thought to be derived from a depleted MORB mantle source (DMM) modified by mixtures of two enriched mantle components such as slab-derived melts and/or fluids and small fractions of oceanic sediment (EM I and EM II). The isotopic compositions of the subduction component can be explained by mixing between at least 4 wt.% of sediment and 96 wt.% of melts and/or fluids derived from altered MORB.

  • CONSERVATION MEASURE 82/XIX Protection of the Cape Shirreff CEMP Site 1
    82/XIX CONSERVATION MEASURE 82/XIX Protection of the Cape Shirreff CEMP Site 1. The Commission noted that a program of long-term studies is being undertaken at Cape Shirreff and the San Telmo Islands, Livingston Island, South Shetland Islands, as part of the CCAMLR Ecosystem Monitoring Program (CEMP). Recognising that these studies may be vulnerable to accidental or wilful interference, the Commission expressed its concern that this CEMP site, the scientific investigations, and the Antarctic marine living resources therein be protected. 2. Therefore, the Commission considers it appropriate to accord protection to the Cape Shirreff CEMP site, as defined in the Cape Shirreff management plan. 3. Members shall comply with the provisions of the Cape Shirreff CEMP site management plan, which is recorded in Annex 82/A. 4. In accordance with Article X, the Commission shall draw this conservation measure to the attention of any State that is not a Party to the Convention and whose nationals or vessels are present in the Convention Area. 86 82/XIX ANNEX 82/A MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE PROTECTION OF CAPE SHIRREFF AND THE SAN TELMO ISLANDS, SOUTH SHETLAND ISLANDS, AS A SITE INCLUDED IN THE CCAMLR ECOSYSTEM MONITORING PROGRAM1 A. GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION 1. Description of the site: (a) Geographical coordinates: Cape Shirreff is a low, ice-free peninsula towards the western end of the north coast of Livingston Island, South Shetland Islands, situated at latitude 62°27’S, longitude 60°47’W, between Barclay Bay and Hero Bay. San Telmo Islands are the largest of a small group of ice-free rock islets, approximately 2 km west of Cape Shirreff.

It is a back-arc basin that was opened by extensional forces associated to roll-back subduction aer cessation of spreading activity of the Phoenix Ridge, and the transtension of the westward ending of Scotia-Antarctica Plate boundary. e Bransfield Ri/Ridge is still active generating volcanism or magma rise to force hydrothermal activity.

Antarctica Newsletter Contact *María Inés Ruocco E-mail: [email protected] *Rodolfo Augusto del Valle E-mail: [email protected] 1. Introduction The relatively moderate magnitude of the seismic events and Unusual and important seismic activity was recorded the shallow depth (at a maximum of 10 km below seabed) of between the end of August 2020 and the end of January 2021, their hypocenters, all located around the submarine volcano, at Bransfield Strait, Antarctica (Fig. 1). First of all, about 60 indicate that tectonic activity is closely related to magmatic earthquakes of moderate to strong magnitudes, on average processes. Bransfiel Strait separates South Shetland Islands around Mw=5.0 Richter scale, and a hundred aftershocks of from the Antarctic Peninsula and represents the opening of moderate intensity were registered in the vicinity of Carlini an extensive marine basin, named Bransfield Basin.
