1. Rates of depletion of lubricant and fuel contaminants from Antarctic regions during natural attenuation and remediation procedures [ASAC_2915]   CHILD DIFs   PARENT DIF
Metadata record for data expected from ASAC Project 2915 See the link below for public details on this project. Petroleum contamination poses a major threat to Antarctic and subantarctic ecosystems ...


2. Heavy metal concentrations in marine sediments around Casey station, East Antarctica - long-term monitoring [ASAC_2201_Long-term_Sediment_Metals]
Sediment cores (5cm diameter x 10cm deep), collected as part of the long-term monitoring of the Thala Valley waste disposal site clean-up (Casey station), were sectioned and a portion of each core ...


3. Sedimentary Processes in the Fjord-like Embayments of the Vestfold and Larsemann Hills [ASAC_705]
Ellis Fjord is a small, fjord-like marine embayment in the vestfold Hills, eastern Antarctica. Modern sediment input is dominated by a biogenic diatom rain, although aeolian, fluvial, ice-rafted, ...


4. Antarctica's Geological History Reflected in Sedimentary Radiogenic Isotopes [NSF-ANT05-38580]
This project studies sediment from the ocean floor to understand Antarctica's geologic history. Glacially eroded from the Antarctic continent, these sediments may offer insight into the 99% Antarctica ...


5. Collaborative Research: Paleohistory of the Larsen Ice Shelf System: Phase II [Larsen_Phase-II]
The data set consists of: -Single channel Chirp seismic profiles of seafloor -Multibeam swath bathymetry -Sediment core samples (selected) -Bottom photographs and video ...


6. Mackay Sea Valley Site Survey: sea ice motion, water current veolcities, sesimic reflection records [MSV_SiteSurvey]
Month-long sea-ice motion (vertical and horizontal) data using GPS instrumentation at 2 sites within Granite Harbor, southwestern Ross Sea made over November-December 2000. ...


7. Quaternary Geochronology of Antarctic Glacial Marine Sediments [penguine1]
The overarching goals of this project are to better constrain the chronology and temporal resolution of marine sediment cores from the Antarctic continental shelf, using the naturally-occurring ...


8. Linking Modern Benthic Communities and Taphonomic Processes to the Stratigraphic Record of Antarctic Cores [NSF-ANT07-39496]
This project answers a simple question: why are there so few fossils in sediment cores from Antarctica's continental shelf? Antarctica's benthos are as biologically rich as those of the tropics. Shell-secreting ...


9. Cold adaptation and functionality of the Antarctic Coastal Benthic Zones [ASAC_1165]
Antarctic sediments and sea-ice are important regulators in global biogeochemical and atmospheric cycles. These ecosystems contain a diverse range of bacteria whose biogeochemical roles remains largely ...


10. Wilkes Land Glacial History (WEGA) [ASAC_1044]
A collaborative Italian/Australian marine geoscience research voyage to the George Vth Land sector of the East Antarctic continental margin was carried out between 11th February and 20th March, 2000, ...


11. Biogenic sediment history from diatom remains in cores along Wilkes Land [ASAC_1216]
Preliminary data set contains details of cores processed (eg. sample name/interval, dry weights, reactions, notes) and the methodology used. The future data set will document diatoms observed and ...


12. Marine Geologic Data from the former Larsen A Ice Shelf and Prince Gustav Channel [Paleohistory__Larsen_Ice_Shelf]
Marine geologic data were collected from the northwestern Weddell Sea during cruise 2000-03 of the Nathaniel B. Palmer (see "http://www.hamilton.edu/news/antarctic2000/default.html"). Data set includes: ...


13. Great Barrier Reef Coral Ba/Ca Data, NOAA/NCDC/WDC Paleoclimatology [NOAA_NGDC_PALEO_MCCULLOGH]   CHILD DIFs
The effect of European settlement on water quality in the Great Barrier Reef of Australia is a long-standing and controversial issue. Erosion and sediment transport in river catchments in this region ...


14. Particle dynamics in the water column & in the water-sediment interface & their relationship with the ecophysiology of benthic particle feeders, Potter Cove [JCADM_CDA_DNA_BENTHO-PELAGIC]
In the present project the dynamics of particulate matter at the water-bottom interface will be studied, identifying the role of the main physical forcing factors controlling such dynamics. The relative ...
