Monitoring climate change induced desertification of Antarctica using stable isotopic signatures
Entry ID:
AAS_3129
Summary
Abstract:
Metadata record for data from AAS (ASAC) project 3219.
Public Summary We will use mosses to investigate the changing climate in Antarctica and the implications this has for terrestrial biodiversity. Mosses grow incrementally from the tip, thus shoot sections contain a record of atmospheric carbon corresponding to each growing season, in a similar fashion to tree rings. This method has been used ... ![]()

Taken from the 2010-2011 Progress Report Difficulties affecting project: Due to flight delays and short time available at Casey we did not collect all the samples we had hoped to and in particular we were not able to collect the full suite of species along water availabilities required. Hence there ... ![]()
