Abstract:

AbstractAntarctic minke whales (Balaenoptera bonaerensis) are migratory capital breeders that experience intensive summer feeding on Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) in the Southern Ocean and winter breeding at lower latitudes, but their prey outside of the Antarctic is unknown. Stable isotope analyses were conducted on δ13C and δ15N from the baleen plates of ten pregnant Antarctic minke whales to understand the growth rate of the baleen plate and their diet in lower latitudes. Two to three oscillations along the length of the edge of the baleen plate were observed in δ15N, and the annual growth rate was estimated to be 75.2 ± 20.4 mm, with a small amplitude (0.97 ± 0.21 ‰). Bayesian stable isotope mixing models were used to understand the dominant prey that contributed to the isotopic component of the baleen plate using Antarctic krill from the stomach contents and reported values of Antarctic coastal krill (Euphausia crystallorophias), Antarctic silver fish (Pleuragramma antarcticum), Australian krill spp., and Australian pelagic fish spp.. The models showed that the diet composition of the most recent three records from the base of the baleen plates (model 1) and the highest δ15N values in each baleen plate (model 2) were predominantly Antarctic krill, with a contribution rate of approximately 80%. The rates were approximately 10% for Antarctic coastal krill and less than 2.0% for the two Australian prey groups in both models. These results suggest that pregnant Antarctic minke whales did not feed on enough prey outside of the Antarctic to change the stable isotope values in their baleen plates.

Abstract:

AbstractThe tectonic evolution of Antarctica in the Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras was marked by igneous activity that formed as a result of simultaneous continental rifting and subduction processes acting during the final stages of the southward drift of Gondwana towards the South Pole. For the most part, continental rifting resulted in the progressive disintegration of the Gondwana supercontinent from Middle Jurassic times to the final isolation of Antarctica at the South Pole following the Cenozoic opening of the surrounding ocean basins, and the separation of Antarctica from South America and Australia. The initial rifting into East and West Gondwana was proceeded by emplacement of large igneous provinces preserved in present-day South America, Africa and Antarctica. Continued rifting within Antarctica did not lead to continental separation but to the development of the West Antarctic Rift System, dividing the continent into the East and West Antarctic plates, and uplift of the Transantarctic Mountains. Motion between East and West Antarctica has been accommodated by a series of discrete rifting pulses with a westward shift and concentration of the motion throughout the Cenozoic leading to crustal thinning, subsidence, elevated heat flow conditions and rift-related magmatic activity. Contemporaneous with the disintegration of Gondwana and the isolation of Antarctica, subduction processes were active along the palaeo-Pacific margin of Antarctica recorded by magmatic arcs, accretionary complexes, and forearc and back-arc basin sequences. A low in magmatic activity between 156 and 142 Ma suggests that subduction may have ceased during this time. Today, following the gradual cessation of the Antarctic rifting and surrounding subduction, the Antarctic continent is situated close to the centre of a large Antarctic Plate which, with the exception of an active margin on the northern tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, is surrounded by active spreading ridges.

Abstract:

SUMMARY We reconstruct the post-52 Ma seafloor spreading history of the Southwest Indian Ridge at 44 distinct times from inversions of ≈20 000 magnetic reversal, fracture zone and transform fault crossings, spanning major regional tectonic events such as the Arabia–Eurasia continental collision, the Arabia Peninsula’s detachment from Africa, the arrival of the Afar mantle plume below eastern Africa and the initiation of rifting in eastern Africa. Best-fitting and noise-reduced rotation sequences for the Nubia–Antarctic, Lwandle–Antarctic and Somalia–Antarctic Plate pairs indicate that spreading rates everywhere along the ridge declined gradually by ≈50 per cent from ≈31 to 19–18 Ma. A concurrent similar-magnitude slowdown in the component of the Africa Plate’s absolute motion parallel to Southwest Indian Ridge spreading suggests that both were caused by a 31–18 Ma change in the forces that drove and resisted Africa’s absolute motion. Possible causes for this change include the effects of the Afar mantle plume on eastern Africa or the Arabia Peninsula’s detachment from the Somalia Plate, which culminated at 20–18 Ma with the onset of seafloor spreading in the Gulf of Aden. At earlier times, an apparently robust but previously unknown ≈6-Myr-long period of rapid kinematic change occurred from 43 to 37 Ma, consisting of a ≈50 per cent spreading rate slowdown from 43 to 40 Ma followed by a full spreading rate recovery and 30–40° clockwise rotation of the plate slip direction from 40 to 37 Ma. Although these kinematic changes coincided with a reconfiguration of the palaeoridge geometry, their underlying cause is unknown. Southwest Indian Ridge abyssal hill azimuths are consistent with the slip directions estimated with our newly derived Somalia–Antarctic and Lwandle–Antarctic angular velocities, adding confidence in their reliability. Lwandle–Antarctica Plate motion has closely tracked Somalia–Antarctic Plate motion since 50 Ma, consistent with slow-to-no motion between the Lwandle and Somalia plates for much of that time. In contrast, Nubia–Somalia rotations estimated from our new Southwest Indian Ridge rotations indicate that 189 ± 34 km of WNW–ESE divergence between Nubia and Somalia has occurred in northern Africa since 40 Ma, including 70–80 km of WNW–ESE divergence since 17–16 Ma, slow to no motion from 26 to 17 Ma, and 109 ± 38 km of WNW–ESE divergence from 40 to ≈26 Ma absent any deformation within eastern Antarctica before 26 Ma.

Abstract:

AbstractPetrological investigations over the past 30 years have significantly advanced our knowledge of the origin and evolution of magmas emplaced within and erupted on top of the Antarctic Plate. Over the last 200 myr Antarctica has experienced: (1) several episodes of rifting, leading to the fragmentation of Gondwana and the formation byc.83 Ma of the current Antarctica Plate; (2) long-lived subduction that shut down progressively eastwards along the Gondwana margin in the Late Cretaceous and is still active at the northernmost tip of the Antarctic Peninsula; and (3) broad extension across West Antarctica that produced one of the Earth's major continental rift systems. The dynamic tectonic history of Antarctica since the Triassic has led to a diversity of volcano types and igneous rock compositions with correspondingly diverse origins. Many intriguing questions remain about the petrology of mantle sources and the mechanisms for melting during each tectonomagmatic phase. For intraplate magmatism, the upwelling of deep mantle plumes is often evoked. Alternatively, subduction-related metasomatized mantle sources and melting by more passive means (e.g. edge-driven flow, translithospheric faulting, slab windows) are proposed. A brief review of these often competing models is provided in this chapter along with recommendations for ongoing petrological research in Antarctica.

Abstract:

Abstract. The lithospheric mantle structure of the Antarctic continent is of great significance of studying the polymerization and fragmentation mechanism of Gondwana and the plate movement law. Long-period magnetotelluric (LMT) is an important method to study the electrical structure of earth crust and mantle. However, been limited by the bad natural environment and logistics supply difficulties, there is no LMT record of Antarctica before. In 2018, China's 34th Antarctic scientific expedition carried out the LMT survey at the eastern edge of the Antarctic continent with a frequency range of 0.00015 Hz to 0.1 Hz. After the processing and analysis, we get three points as fellow: (1) The lithospheric mantle of Antarctica has a three-dimensional resistivity structure; (2) There are low resistivity regions in the Antarctic mantle, which may be related to thermal activity. (3) It is possible to carry out LMT measurements in eastern Antarctic and more can be done in the future.

Abstract:

Ridge subduction follows the approach of an oceanic spreading centre towards a trench and subduction of the leading oceanic plate beneath the overriding plate. There are four possible kinematic scenarios: (1) welding of the trailing and overriding plates (e.g., Aluk–Antarctic Ridge beneath Antarctica); (2) slower subduction of the trailing plate (e.g., Nazca–Antarctic Ridge beneath Chile and Pacific–Izanagi Ridge beneath Japan); (3) transform motion between the trailing and overriding plates (e.g., San Andreas Transform); or (4) divergence between the overriding and trailing plates (e.g., Pacific – North America). In case 4, the divergence may be accommodated in two ways: the overriding plate may be stretched (e.g., Basin and Range Province extension, which has brought the continental margin into collinearity (and, therefore, transform motion) with the Pacific – North America relative motion); or divergence may occur at the continental margin and be manifest as a change in rate and direction of sea-floor spreading because the pair of spreading plates changes (e.g., from Pacific–Farallon to Pacific – North America), spawning a secondary spreading centre (i.e., Gorda – Juan de Fuca – Explorer ridge system) that migrates away from the overriding plate.Mantle upwelling associated with sea-floor spreading ridges is widely regarded as a passive consequence, rather than an active cause, of plate divergence. Geological and geophysical phenomena attendant to ridge–trench interaction suggest that regardless of the kinematic relations among the three plates, a thermal anomaly formerly associated with the ridge migrates beneath the overriding plate. The persistence of this thermal anomaly demonstrates that active mantle upwelling may continue for tens of millions of years after ridge subduction. Thus, regardless of whether the mantle upwelling was active or passive at its origin, it becomes active if the spreading continues for sufficient time and, thus, must contribute to the driving mechanism of plate tectonics.

Abstract:

One hundred years of geological research in and around Antarctica since Scott's Discovery expedition of 1901–1904 have seen the continent move from a great unknown at the margins of human knowledge to centre stage in the development of plate tectonics, continental break-up and global climate evolution. Research in Antarctica has helped make the Gondwana supercontinent a scientific fact. Discoveries offshore have provided some of the key evidence for plate tectonics and extended the evidence of global glaciation back over 30 million years. Studies of Antarctica's tectonic evolution have helped elucidate the details of continental break-up, and the continent continues to provide the best testing ground for competing scientific models. Antarctica's deep past has provided support for the “Snowball Earth” hypothesis, and for the pre-Gondwana, Rodinia supercontinent. Current research is focusing on Antarctica's subglacial lakes and basins, the possible causes of Antarctic glaciation, the evolution of its surrounding oceanic and mantle gateways, and its sub-ice geological composition and structure. None of this would have been possible without maps, and these have provided the foundation stone for Antarctic research. New mapping and scientific techniques, and new research platforms hold great promise for further major contributions from Antarctica to Earth system science in the twenty-first century.

Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with the lived experience of placemaking in Argentina’s Antarctic gateway port Ushuaia. Based on 12 months ethnographic fieldwork, it explores the relations between tourism, urban development, and socio-economic difference. As such, it investigates how agents from across the social spectrum conceive of, and construct their sense of place “at the end of the world”. As the world’s southernmost city, Ushuaia is attractive to tourists for its stunning landscapes, unique location, and strategic proximity to Antarctica. However, the image of a friendly tourist destination crucial to everyday life in this Patagonian city is contested by its stakeholders. This thesis looks beyond the image presented to tourists to explore frictions among residents, the city council, and touristic enterprises. Ushuaia is revealed as an urban location beset by growing unrest due to issues of population growth and social polarization. This is analyzed in relation to its geopolitical significance for the Argentine state, territorial struggles with Chile, and economic incentives for in-migration. Consequently, this thesis considers the dynamic and shifting character of the city’s population through an engagement with economic and lifestyle migrants, including those dwelling in non-legal settlements, and tourists who occupy Ushuaian space alongside more longstanding citizens. The thesis demonstrates how conflicting views collide regarding issues of urbanization, industrialization, tourism, and environmental conservation, analyzed in relation to the interests and concerns of different social constituencies. Through extensive interviewing with a diverse array of social actors, this thesis also explores the different levels of economic and socio-cultural attachment to Antarctica, suggesting a schism between Ushuaia’s touristic representation, Antarctic alignment, and the needs and interests of its inhabitants. This thesis, then, explains the diverging place-based ideas and aspirations of different social groups in relation to the governmental, socio-economic, and socio-cultural forces implicated in placemaking.

Abstract:

An improved method has been developed for carrying out 2-plate reconstructions, in which fracture zone locations are fitted to synthetic flowlines and magnetic anomaly picks are rotated and fitted to great circles representing other, not necessarily conjugate, anomaly isochrons. This enables the determination of finite rotation poles for regions with sparse data coverage, or where much of one or both plates has been subducted. Misfits and partial derivatives are calculated for each type of data, and combined in a single iterative inversion, allowing the direct calculation of confidence intervals. This method is then extended to a 3-plate reconstruction, taking closure into consideration. The South American - African - Antarctic plate system is then studied. Fracture zone locations are identified from a gravity map constructed from GEOSAT altimeter data, and magnetic anomalies are identified from ship profiles. Two-plate reconstructions are carried out for each plate pair, giving good fits to the observed data, and then all three datasets are combined in a 3-plate reconstruction. Comparison of the results reveals a discontinuity in spreading in the Weddell Sea, believed to be related to pseudo-asymmetric spreading caused by ridge re-organisation in the Paleocene and early Eocene. A revised 3-plate inversion, taking this discontinuity into account, produces an internally consistent set of poles, indicating a closed 3-plate system since anomaly 34 (83Ma), with no evidence for a Malvinas Plate extending into the Weddell Sea in the Late Cretaceous. Disruption to the system from anomaly 32 (71Ma) until anomaly 24 (52Ma), appears to be related to the collision of Africa with Eurasia. A study of the past motion, configuration and stability of the Bouvet Triple junction suggests that for the majority of the past 50Ma it has been in a RFF configuration, in theory considerably less stable than RRR, the other possible configuration.

Abstract:

The polar landscapes have, for a long time, held the imaginations of people around the world. These extreme and remote environments have shaped the hearts and minds not only of people who have lived there, but also those who have only heard stories and seen pictures of these far off lands of ice and sky and snow. This dissertation examines the sense of place developed by New Zealanders towards Antarctica, across a spectrum of experiences with the continent, from seasonal workers and scientists, to people who have only ever seen it in books or advertisements. Taking a mainly phenomenological approach, the main objective of the research is to generate a theoretical base on what sense of place is made with and how it is created in extreme and remote environments like Antarctica. After examining 30 questionnaires and 54 interviews, the data indicate that there is no one New Zealand sense of Antarctica; rather, they are as manifold and complex as the individuals consulted. Regardless of the many differences across the various groups, a common thread was found of Antarctica as a place of hope. A hope based on scientific discovery and collaboration, on resource potential and conserving wild spaces. Findings also helped to develop a theoretical model, which builds on the existing works of Tuan (1977), Sack (1997), and Gustafson (2001). Three important theoretical aspects were identified through the analysis, including the ideas of personal connection, narrative emplotement, and one’s sense of identity. The theory contributes to the ongoing discussion of how people encounter and make sense of extreme and remote environments. Both the findings themselves and the theory behind them suggest that policy makers, communicators, and tourism operators be aware of their target audience, their cultural values and changing symbolism, in order to better communicate their intended message.

Abstract:

The implementation of hydrogen as a mass scale energy vector requires the development of simple, cheap and efficient technologies for its production, storage and transportation. Generating hydrogen through electrolysis of alkali solution directly under pressures up to 700bar without the intervention of any mechanical gas compression systems and the direct storage of the gases in appropriate tanks is a viable example of such a technology. The present study introduces the advantages of this production scheme and the major technical difficulties to be overcame on the design of a high pressure operating electrolytic reactor. In order to study the general system’s behavior, a numerical simulation method that includes all the relevant components is developed. To reduce the complexity of the initial model, the details of the electrochemical reaction taking place on each electrolytic cell is not covered and its effect is replaced with an energy efficiency curve derived from experimental observations. Despite this simplification, the characteristics of the system remain very complex and require the use of multi-physics simulation tools to describe the interactions between solids, liquid and gas, the temperature distribution and pressure, and the production of gas and heat in the reactor. In spite of the multiple coupling possibilities within the multiphysics software, the interaction of the modules proved challenging and required the manual introduction of further differential equations and physical expressions, along with auxiliary routines, to allow the convergence of the solution. The simulation method developed is validated by modeling a test reactor designed and constructed in the Instituto Tecnolo´gico de Buenos Aires for its installation in the Argentinean Antarctic, for which different test-run results are available for comparison.
