B425: The Role of Resource Legacy on Contemporary Linka...

The McMurdo Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) projects will continue to investigate the McMurdo Dry Valleys as an end-member ecosystem and focus on the relative roles of legacy and extant processes on current biodiversity and ecosystem structure and fu ...

B426: The Role of Resource Legacy on Contemporary Linka...

This project addresses the central hypothesis that biodiversity and ecosystem structure and function in the Dry Valleys are dictated by the interactions of climatic legacies with contemporary biotic and physical processes. Researchers will upgrade and mai ...

G070: Collaborative Research: Dating and paleoenvironme...

The Mullins Valley debris-covered glacier forms at the headwall of Mullins Valley, Dry Valleys region of Antarctica. As it flows down this small valley, it enters a region of net ablation, and mass loss leads to the surface exposure of dirt and rocks that ...

I169: Collaborative Research: A horizontal ice core for...

In order to develop a precise chronology of the exposed ice in the 20 km long Taylor Glacier ablation zone, field team members will sample ice for gas analyses. Prior research has shown that this ablation zone contains a unique, stratigraphically ordered ...

I349: Collaborative Research: Exploring A 2 Million Yea...

Using a multidisciplinary team, researchers propose to develop new methods that will allow them to sample the record of polar climate change and greenhouse gas concentrations back to 2.5+/- 0.2 Ma at the Allan Hills blue ice area. The objective is to exte ...

K064: Understanding the Interactions Between Glaciers a...

The goal of this research is to develop an understanding of the interactions between glaciers and permafrost that will permit models of glaciers to realistically parameterise ice motion. Improvement of such models is central to their success in predicting ...
