Region 19: Antarctica Description Figure 19.1 The distribution of Holocene volcanoes through the Antarctica region. 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.

Neste trabalho foram analisadas as taxas de mudança da frente da geleira Polar Club e comparadas com a variabilidade interanual da temperatura do ar, na Península Potter, ilha Rei George, a fim de compreender o impacto direto das alterações do clima local na dinâmica das áreas livres de gelo. Foi utilizada uma série de dez cenas de imagens do satélite Landsat e dados de temperatura do ar superficial entre 1986 e 2011. Os resultados evidenciam uma tendência no aumento na temperatura do ar de 0,04 ºC por ano, o que resultou no incremento de 1,03 ºC nas temperaturas médias do ar para o período de 26 anos analisados.

  • Ice Dynamics and Stability Analysis of the Ice Shelf-Glacial System on the East Antarctic Peninsula Over the Past Half Century: Multi-Sensor
    Ice dynamics and stability analysis of the ice shelf-glacial system on the east Antarctic Peninsula over the past half century: multi-sensor observations and numerical modeling A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Geography & Geographic Information Science of the College of Arts and Sciences by Shujie Wang B.S., GIS, Sun Yat-sen University, China, 2010 M.A., GIS, Sun Yat-sen University, China, 2012 Committee Chair: Hongxing Liu, Ph.D. March 2018 ABSTRACT The flow dynamics and mass balance of the Antarctic Ice Sheet are intricately linked with the global climate change and sea level rise. The dynamics of the ice shelf – glacial systems are particularly important for dominating the mass balance state of the Antarctic Ice Sheet. The flow velocity fields of outlet glaciers and ice streams dictate the ice discharge rate from the interior ice sheet into the ocean system. One of the vital controls that affect the flow dynamics of the outlet glaciers is the stability of the peripheral ice shelves. It is essential to quantitatively analyze the interconnections between ice shelves and outlet glaciers and the destabilization process of ice shelves in the context of climate warming. This research aims to examine the evolving dynamics and the instability development of the Larsen Ice Shelf – glacial system in the east Antarctic Peninsula, which is a dramatically changing area under the influence of rapid regional warming in recent decades. Previous studies regarding the flow dynamics of the Larsen Ice Shelf – glacial system are limited to some specific sites over a few time periods.

  • Land-Based Tourism in Antarctica
    IP (number) Agenda Item: CEP 7b, ATCM 10 Presented by: ASOC Original: English Land-Based Tourism in Antarctica 1 IP (number) Summary This paper examines the interface between commercial land based tourism and the use of national program infrastructure, as well as recent developments in land-based tourism. Eight Parties responded to a questionnaire distributed by ASOC at ATCMs XXXI and XXXII. None of the respondents reported providing any support to tourism other than free basic hospitality, and most respondents explicitly opposed the notion of Parties being involved in tourism operations. Based on these responses it is apparent that some Parties have identified two locations where commercial land based tourism takes place using infrastructure from National Antarctic Programs. All land-based tourism operations rely directly or indirectly on some form of state support, including permits, use of runways, and use of facilities and terrain adjacent to research stations. The continued improvement of land-based facilities such as runways and camps, and the broad array of land activities now available to tourists, indicate that land-based tourism is growing. If no actions are taken soon, land-based tourism may well become consolidated as a major activity in a few years. 1. Overview In 2008 ASOC submitted to XXXI ATCM IP 41, A decade of Antarctic tourism: Status, change, and actions needed. Among other issues relevant to Antarctic tourism, ASOC’s IP 41 discussed the interface between commercial land-based tourism and the activities of national Antarctic programs. The paper remarked on a disturbing lack of clarity with regard to aspects of land-based tourism – what an IAATO representative described aptly as “fogginess”.1 ASOC’s IP 41 included a table listing several facilities used to support land- based tourism, some of which were private commercial facilities and other facilities of National Antarctic programs.

  • Plan Anual Antártico Del Programa Antártico Argentino 2018-2019
    Programa Antártico Argentino Plan Anual Antártico 2018-2019 INTRODUCCIÓN La Argentina reivindica soberanía sobre el Sector Antártico Argentino, comprendido entre los meridianos 25° y 74° de longitud Oeste al sur del paralelo de 60° de latitud Sur, con fundamento en títulos históricos, geográficos, geológicos y jurídicos. La Argentina tiene presencia permanente e ininterrumpida en la Antártida desde el 22 de febrero de 1904, en que se estableciera la primera estación científica (Base Orcadas) en la Isla Laurie, Archipiélago de las Islas Orcadas del Sur. La Argentina, por tanto, tiene la presencia continua más antigua en la Antártida. La Argentina tiene seis bases permanentes (Carlini, Orcadas, Esperanza, Marambio, San Martín y Belgrano II) y siete bases temporarias (Brown, Primavera, Decepción, Melchior, Matienzo, Cámara y Petrel). Todas están situadas en el Sector Antártico Argentino. La Dirección Nacional del Antártico administra dos de ellas (las Bases Carlini y Brown) y el Ministerio de Defensa, a través del Comando Conjunto Antártico, administra las otras once. La Argentina es uno de los doce países que participaron en la Conferencia de Washington sobre la Antártida de 1959, y eso la llevó a ser uno de los doce signatarios originarios del Tratado Antártico. El Tratado establece que la Antártida se utilizará exclusivamente para fines pacíficos y erige a la ciencia en el centro de la actividad antártica. El artículo IV del Tratado resguarda adecuadamente las reivindicaciones de soberanía en la Antártida. Por tanto, uno de los ejes de la política exterior argentina es continuo fortalecimiento del conjunto de normas surgidas a partir del Tratado Antártico. Los lineamientos de la Política Antártica Nacional (PAN) están definidos por el Decreto 2316/90, cuyo objetivo principal es el P á g i n a 2 | 265 Programa Antártico Argentino Plan Anual Antártico 2018-2019 afianzamiento de los derechos argentinos de soberanía en la Antártida.
