Abstract:

One of the biggest problems of our time is the global warming. A direct result of this phenomena is the melting of ice of the glaciers on the north and the south pole. As this continues, the melted ice will contribute to an increase of the sea level, and may cause enormous natural disasters. To be able to prevent this, it’s important to study its affects. This reports contains a concept study of a Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, a UAV, set on the coast of Antarctica by the Australian owned base Davis Station to document the changes and retracting of the glacier borderline. The purpose of the aircraft

Abstract:

Connections between South Africa and Antarctica can be traced as far back as the 1700s when European expeditions in search of the southern continent used Cape Town (and later Simonstown) as a base of operation. This link expanded considerably after formal British acquisition of the Cape of Good Hope in 1815, yet it was not until 1926 that an actual South African policy towards the Antarctic began to materialize. Once this policy was established it continued to be characterized by procrastination as well as resistance both from within and without South Africa. The history of South Africa's Anta

Abstract:

In light of growing international awareness and interests in the ‘frozen continent’ of Antarctica, the topic of Values in Antarctica has recently gained more research interest. Due to the complexity of the concept of value, values in Antarctica have been approached from many different perspectives, including Antarctic wilderness and aesthetic values, values manifested in Antarctic law or value based behavioural changes through the Antarctic experience. The present thesis addresses values as human connections to Antarctica with a focus on Antarctic policy-making. The investigation contained th

Abstract:

The Antarctic silverfish (Pleuragramma antarctica) is a keystone species in the continental shelf waters around the Antarctic, performing an essential role of connecting higher and lower trophic levels in the Southern Ocean ecosystem. Its early life history is dependent on the platelet ice layer found below sea ice, thus intimately intertwining its fate with that of sea ice extent. Antarctic silverfish belong to the family Nototheniidae, part of the Notothenioidei suborder whose species radiation in the Southern Ocean 24 million years ago is one of the most expansive among teleost fish.

In the extreme climate and isolation of Antarctica, much of the built environment exists only as an assemblage of sterile boxes placed in the landscape without consideration of the needs of their occupants or their impact on the environment.

Scientists and support crews spend months at a time living in isolation within the confines of small outposts and stations.

Fimbul Ice Shelf and nearby ice shelves might also play a significant regional role: although no bottom water is produced in this area, it is thought that Fimbul Ice Shelf and nearby ice shelves precondition the shelf waters tha

The Antarctic ice sheet is increasingly contributing to sea-level rise because of accelerated mass losses at its floating extensions -- its ice shelves. By floating while remaining attached to the grounded ice sheet, ice shelves buttress (i.e. restrain) the inland ice in such a way that ice-shelf losses lead to accelerated ice discharge in the ocean.

Furthermore, it has been suggested that cold-based ice has the potential to preserve these features rather than to obliterate them. Blocky deposits are also frequently used as pro

Subglacial water plays an important role in the regulation of an ice sheet's mass balance. It may be the dominant control on the velocities of ice streams and outlet glaciers on scales of months to millennia. Recent satellite observations of ice surface elevation changes have given researchers new insights into how subglacial water is stored and transported. Localized uplift and settling of the ice surface implies that lakes exist beneath the ice sheet that are being filled and drained on relatively short time scales. %At the base of an ice sheet water can be transported through a variety of d
