Exopolysaccharides from Antarctic bacteria
Exopolysaccharide (EPS) is complex sugar made by many microbes in the Antarctic marine environment. This project seeks to understand the ecological role of microbial EPS in the... -
Iron Distribution and Effects on Phytoplankton Growth in the Seasonal Sea Ice Zone
Peter Sedwick collected water column samples (6 depths, less than 350m) and measured dissolved iron in these samples, using specialised trace-metal clean techniques, at 9... -
DMS in the Southern Ocean
From 1991 to 2000 14 voyages have been completed in the Southern Ocean. Measurements of DMS (Dimethylsulfide) and DMSP (Dimethylsulfoniopropionate) have been carried out on... -
Integrated PAR exposure of sea ice in East Antarctica
The data comprise images (encapsulated postscript and PNG formats) showing the integrated solar irradiance exposure of sea ice. The exposure value for ice at a given grid point... -
Energy requirements and daily food consumption of crabeater seals in the...
Although the most abundant of all mammalian predators in the Antarctic marine ecosystem, crabeater seals are also one of the least understood. The most fundamental question of... -
The fate of primary production in Antarctic sea ice: the role of metazoan grazers.
Crustaceans are an important component of the Antarctic marine ecosystem. Large numbers live in or close to the sea-ice cover, using it as a refuge from predation and a source... -
Antarctic sea ice extent data - 1980-1988
This is a scanned copy of a document detailing data on the extent of sea ice in Antarctic from 1980 to 1988. The scanned pages consist of latitude and distance of the south pole... -
A data collation for climate-cooling gas dimethylsulphide in Antarctic snow,...
The database is comprised of folders of measurements of dimethylsulfide (DMS) and dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) in ice, snow, slush, water and brine. Data were collated and... -
