  • Mineral Element Stocks in the Yedoma Domain

Open Access Open Data Mineral element stocks in the Yedoma domain: a first assessment in ice-rich permafrost regions Arthur Monhonval1, Sophie Opfergelt1, Elisabeth Mauclet1, Benoît Pereira1, Aubry Vandeuren1, Guido Grosse2,3, Lutz Schirrmeister2, Matthias Fuchs2, Peter Kuhry4, Jens Strauss2 5 1Earth and Life Institute, Université catholique de Louvain, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium 2Permafrost Research Section, Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, Potsdam, Germany 3Institute of Geosciences, University of Potsdam, Potsdam, Germany 4Department of Physical Geography, Stockholm University, Stockholm, Sweden 10 Correspondence to: Arthur Monhonval ([email protected]) Abstract With permafrost thaw, significant amounts of organic carbon (OC) previously stored in frozen deposits are unlocked and 15 become potentially available for microbial mineralization. This is particularly the case in ice-rich regions such as the Yedoma domain. Excess ground ice degradation exposes deep sediments and their OC stocks, but also mineral elements, to biogeochemical processes. Interactions of mineral elements and OC play a crucial role for OC stabilization and the fate of OC upon thaw, and thus regulate carbon dioxide and methane emissions. In addition, some mineral elements are limiting nutrients for plant growth or microbial metabolic activity. A large ongoing effort is to quantify OC stocks and their lability in permafrost 20 regions, but the influence of mineral elements on the fate of OC or on biogeochemical nutrient cycles has received less attention. The reason is that there is a gap of knowledge on the mineral element content in permafrost regions.

  • Robert L. Christie (1926 Ð 1999)
    ARCTIC VOL. 53, NO. 1 (MARCH 2000) P. 88–91 ROBERT L. CHRISTIE (1926 – 1999) Dr. Robert L. Christie, geologist, naturalist, and explorer, suffered a heart attack on his beloved sailboat in the morning of 1 September 1999 and died a few hours later in hospital in Belleville, Ontario. Some weeks earlier, Bob and Audrey had sold their small farm at nearby Madoc, Ontario, and were preparing to move to Gabriola Island in British Columbia, back to Bob’s home province. Bob will be remembered for a broad range of geological achieve- ments in western and Arctic Canada, as well as in Green- land, achievements documented by nearly 100 maps and reports published in scientific journals. He will be espe- cially remembered for his loving warmth, his infectious laughter, and his limitless generosity. Bob was undoubt- edly the kindest and gentlest man I have ever known, and his family and friends were the special delights in his life. During the early sixties, Bob and I camped together for three summers in the Arctic Islands, doing fieldwork for the Geological Survey of Canada. When faced with tough conditions in the field, Bob would harden with stoic endurance. But when the sun shone on our little flycamp, he would rise to a rhapsody, and his cheerful yodel would signal that all was well in our little corner of the vast Arctic wilderness. Bob won distinction for his fieldwork, particularly in the Arctic islands, but he eschewed visible signs of pres- tige, particularly those institutionally accepted ones, like the medals that he had won, which he playfully referred to as “gongs.” He felt that his most genuine rewards came from the sense of community and solidarity developed by working closely with people whose opinions and feelings Robert L.

  • Translitterering Och Alternativa Geografiska Namnformer
    TRANSLITTERERING OCH ALTERNATIVA GEOGRAFISKA NAMNFORMER Version XX, 27 juli 2015, Stefan Nordblom 1 FÖRORD För många utländska egennamn, i första hand personnamn och geografiska namn, finns det på svenska väl etablerade namnformer. Om det inte finns någon sådan kan utländska egennamn dock vålla bekymmer vid översättning till svenska. Föreliggande material är tänkt att vara till hjälp i sådana situationer och tar upp fall av translitterering1 och transkribering2 samt exonymer3 . Problemen uppstår främst på grund av att olika språk har olika system för translitterering och transkribering från ett visst språk och på grund av att orter kan ha olika namn på olika utländska språk. Eftersom vi oftast översätter från engelska och franska innehåller sammanställningen även translittereringar och exonymer på engelska och franska (samt tyska). Man kan alltså i detta material göra en sökning på sådana namnformer och komma fram till den svenska namnformen. Om man t.ex. i en engelsk text träffar på det geografiska namnet Constance kan man söka på det namnet här och då få reda på att staden (i detta fall på tyska och) på svenska kallas Konstanz. Den efterföljande sammanställningen bygger i huvudsak på följande källor: Institutet för de inhemska språken (FI): bl.a. skriften Svenska ortnamn i Finland - http://kaino.kotus.fi/svenskaortnamn/ Iate (EU-institutionernas termbank) Nationalencyklopedin Nationalencyklopedins kartor Interinstitutionella publikationshandboken - http://publications.europa.eu/code/sv/sv-000100.htm Språkbruk (Tidskrift utgiven av Svenska språkbyrån i Helsingfors) Språkrådet© (1996). Publikation med rekommendationer i term- och språkfrågor som utarbetas av rådets svenska översättningsenhet i samråd med övriga EU-institutioner. TT-språket - info.tt.se/tt-spraket/ I de fall uppgifterna i dessa källor inte överensstämmer med varandra har det i enskilda fall varit nödvändigt att väga, välja och sammanjämka namnförslagen, varvid rimlig symmetri har eftersträvats.

ABSTRACT We employ elevation data from the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) to investigate surface changes across the Lena Delta and sea ice of the coastal Laptev Sea, Sibe- ria during winters of 2003 through 2008. We compare ICESat GLAS-derived elevation changes on sea ice and the Bykovskaya and Sardakhskaya Channels with datum-corrected tide gauge height measurements from Danai, Sannikova and Tiksi stations. We find the coastal sea ice and large inland ice covered channels elevation changes are in phase with the tide-height changes on a same month-year and datum-controlled basis. Furthermore, we find elevation change on tundra drained lake basins to be +0.03 ± 0.02 m, on average.

  • LATE PLEISTOCENE and EARLY HOLOCENE WINTER AIR TEMPERATURES in KOTELNY ISLAND: RECONSTRUCTIONS USING STABLE ISOTOPES of ICE WEDGES Yu.K

The δ18О values range exceeds 6 ‰ in Late Pleistocene ice wedges but is only 1.5 ‰ in the Holocene ones (–30.6 ‰ to –24.0 ‰ against –23.1 ‰ to –21.6 ‰, respectively). The Late Pleistocene mean January air temperatures in Kotelny Island were 10–12 °С lower than the respective present temperature. On the other hand, mean winter temperatures in cold substages during the Karga interstadial were colder than those during the Sartan glacial event. The Late Pleistocene– Holocene climate history included several warm intervals when air temperatures were high enough to maintain the existence of low canopy tree patches in Kotelny Island. Mean January air temperatures in the early Holocene were only 1.0–1.5 °С lower than now.

  • ABSTRACT PADGETT, ASHLY BROOK. Terrestrial Paleoclimate
    ABSTRACT PADGETT, ASHLY BROOK. Terrestrial Paleoclimate and Geology during Unusual Climate States – Utilizing Isotope Geochemistry across Ellesmere and Axel Heiberg Islands, Arctic Canada (Under the direction of Dr. Ethan G. Hyland). Terrestrial proxy data for sensitive polar regions like the Canadian Arctic during past warm intervals are currently limited. Developing accurate records of paleoclimate and paleoenvironments during past warm periods like the late Paleocene and early Eocene is necessary to predict potential consequences of future anthropogenic warming, particularly in polar regions that may experience dramatic responses to climate change due to their role in carbon storage and surface albedo feedbacks. Ellesmere and Axel Heiberg Islands in the Canadian Arctic preserve long-term paleoclimate and geologic archives in terrestrial fluvio- deltaic, floodplain, and paludal deposits from the late Paleocene to middle Eocene (approximately 59 to 45 Ma). This work expands on existing stratigraphic, paleontological, and natural resource explorations from the Canadian Arctic Archipelago through the addition of 13 18 stable (δ C, δ O) and clumped (Δ47) isotope analyses on palustrine carbonates. δ13C isotope values range from -4.6 to +12.3‰ (VPDB), and δ18O isotope values range from -23.1 to -15.2‰ (VPDB). Samples are classified into four fabric types: Micritic, Micritic to Microspar, Microspar, and Sparry, with carbon isotopic values (δ13C) averaging 9.8‰, 4.5‰, 3.4‰, 2.0‰ , and oxygen isotopic values (δ18O) averaging -17.2‰, -17.8‰, -18.0‰, -18.9‰ respectively. Both carbon and oxygen stable isotope averages decrease with an increased level of alteration. Unusually positive carbon isotope values suggest carbonates experienced repeated dissolution-precipitation enrichment cycles.

Karpinsky Russian Geological Research Institute (VSEGEI), Sredny av. 74, 199106 Saint-Petersburg, Russia (Received 27 December 2013; accepted 4 June 2014; first published online 25 September 2014) Abstract – On the New Siberian Islands the rocks of the east Russian Arctic shelf are exposed and allow an assessment of the structural evolution of the region. Tectonic fabrics provide evidence of three palaeo-shortening directions (NE–SW, WNW–ESE and NNW–SSE to NNE–SSW) and one set of palaeo-extension directions revealed a NE–SW to NNE–SSW direction. The contractional deformation is most likely the expression of the Cretaceous formation of the South Anyui fold–thrust belt. The NE–SW shortening is the most prominent tectonic phase in the study area. The WNW–ESE and NNW–SSE to NNE–SSW-oriented palaeo-shortening directions are also most likely related to fold belt formation; the latter might also have resulted from a bend in the suture zone. The younger Cenozoic NE–SW to NNE–SSW extensional direction is interpreted as a consequence of rifting in the Laptev Sea. Keywords: New Siberian Islands, De Long Islands, South Anyui suture zone, fold–thrust belt. 1. Introduction slip data. Such datasets deliver important information for understanding the regional geodynamic evolution In the last decades, several plate tectonic models have of the study area.
