Abstract:

ABSTRACTWe have used a combination of traditional morphological examination and molecular DNA analysis to characterise 16 moss specimens collected from the Mawson Escarpment and Clemence Massif, exposures of bedrock and glacial debris in the southern Prince Charles Mountains of East Antarctica. The nuclear ribosomal ITS region and the chloroplast rps4 gene were sequenced and compared with those of other mosses known from coastal East Antarctica. The moss specimens from the southern Prince Charles Mountains were identified as Ptychostomum pseudotriquetrum (Hedw.) D. T. Holyoak and N. Pedersen, Schistidium antarctici (Cardot) ‘L.I. Savicz & Smirnova’ and Coscinodon lawianus (J.H. Willis) Ochyra. These constitute a new record for S. antarctici in the Prince Charles Mountains, and confirm and extend southwards previous records for P. pseudotriquetrum and C. lawianus in the region.

Abstract:

Apatite fission-track data from samples of Precambrian basement, Late Permian Triassic sedimentary rocks and inferred Cretaceous intrusive bodies are used to constrain the low-temperature (i.e. sub ~110°C) thermal history of the northern Prince Charles Mountains, East Antarctica. Two discrete phases of cooling have been identified, both of which are attributed to regional exhumation associated with rifting episodes. A phase of late Palaeozoic cooling, that began during the Carboniferous, is inferred to have been associated with the initial formation of the Lambert Graben. A more recent phase of cooling was initiated during the Early Cretaceous and is estimated to have locally involved the removal of at least 2 km of material using an assumed palaeotemperature gradient of ~25°C km−1 at the time of cooling. This latter phase of exhumation was closely accompanied by the emplacement of a variety of mafic alkaline rocks at ambient palaeotemperatures less than ~60°C and was probably related to renewed extension of the Lambert Graben during the break-up of eastern Gondwana. The results of this study suggest that final exhumation of high-grade Precambrian basement of the northern Price Charles Mountains was largely controlled by Phanerozoic rifting events.

Abstract:

Sensitive High Resolution Ion MicroProbe (SHRIMP) U–Pb zircon dating of pegmatites from Mount Kirkby, northern Prince Charles Mountains, east Antarctica indicates felsic intrusive activity at 991 ± 22 Ma and 910 ± 18 Ma. Pegmatite emplacement occurred during prolonged high-grade early Neoproterozoic tectonism. These ages correlate well with previously published U–Pb zircon ages obtained from felsic intrusive bodies elsewhere within the northern Prince Charles Mountains. Early Palaeozoic activity at Mount Kirkby is restricted to the emplacement of minor planar pegmatites at 517 ± 12 Ma, which provide a maximum age for local development of discrete extensional mylonites. No conclusive evidence of tectonic or metamorphic events at c. 800 Ma and c. 500 Ma, which have been recently postulated for the region, can be identified from the presently available U–Pb zircon data.

Abstract:

The late Proterozoic basement of the Porthos Range northern Prince Charles Mountains, east Antarctica, is dominated by a suite of felsic to mafic granulites derived from igneous and, less importantly, sedimentary protoliths. Compositionally, they are broadly similar to granulites occurring along the Mac. Robertson Land coast and southern Prince Charles Mountains. Ultramafic to mafic orthopyroxene' + clinopyroxene granulites with relict igneous layering occur as lenses within the felsic to mafic granulites, and show compositional evidence of a cumulate origin. The felsic to mafic granulites are intruded by several large charnockite bodies that have similarities to the Mawson Charnockite, and may have formed via a two-stage partial melting process. The charnockite and host granulites are chemically very similar, and both may have been derived from a common middle to lower crustal source region. Undepleted K/Rb ratios suggest retention of original chemistry, with variations being due to fractionation processes. Normalized trace element patterns resembling modern-day arc settings suggest that the Porthos Range granulites were possibly generated in a subduction zone environment.

Abstract:

The Toploje Member chert is a Roadian to Wordian autochthonous– parautochthonous silicified peat preserved within the Lambert Graben, East Antarctica. It preserves a remarkable sample of terrestrial life from high-latitude central Gondwana prior to the Capitanian mass extinction event from both mega- and microfossil evidence that includes cryptic components rarely seen in other fossil assemblages. The peat layer is dominated by glossopterid and cordaitalean gymnosperms and contains sparse herbaceous lycophytes, together with a broad array of dispersed organs of ferns and other gymnosperms. The peat also hosts a wide range of fungal morphotypes, Peronosporomycetes, rare arthropod remains and a diverse coprolite assemblage. The fungal and invertebrate-plant interactions associated with various organs of the Glossopteris plant reveal the cryptic presence of a ‘component community’ of invertebrate herbivores and fungal saprotrophs centred around the Glossopteris organism, and demonstrate that a multitude of ecological interactions were well developed by the Middle Permian in high-latitude forest mires. Comparisons of coal maceral data from co-occurring coal seams with quantitative analyses of the silicified peat constituents reveals that while silicified peats provide an unparalleled sample of the organisms forming these coal deposits, they do not necessarily reflect the constituents that ultimately dominate the coal maceral volume.

Abstract:

Antarctic soils are home to small, inconspicuous organisms including bacteria, unicellular eukaryotes, fungi, lichen, cryptogamic plants and invertebrates. Antarctic soil communities are distinct from other soil biota as a consequence of long-term persistence under harsh environmental conditions; furthermore their long history of isolation is responsible for a high degree of endemism. Of major concern is the establishment of non-indigenous species facilitated by human-mediated climate change and increased human activity, threatening the highly specialised endemic species. A lack of baseline information on terrestrial Antarctic biodiversity currently impairs efforts to conserve the unique but still largely unknown Antarctic biota. In this thesis I apply metagenetic high throughput sequencing (MHTS) methods to address the deficiency of biological information from remote regions of continental Antarctica, and use the data generated to explore environmental constraints on Antarctic biodiversity. In Chapter 1, I introduce current issues impeding the generation of baseline Antarctic biodiversity data and evaluate the application of using MHTS techniques. This review highlights the potential of using MHTS approaches using amplicon sequencing to retrieve Eukaryotic biodiversity information from terrestrial Antarctica. In Chapter 2, the eukaryotic diversity of three biologically unsurveyed regions in the Prince Charles Mountains, East Antarctica (PCMs) is explored. Total eukaryote biodiversity in the PCMs appears to follow an altitudinal or latitudinal trend, which is less obvious for terrestrial invertebrates. In order to apply MHTS to the study of Antarctic invertebrates, the comparative taxonomic assignment fidelities of metagenetic markers and morphological approaches are explored in Chapter 3. Fidelities of taxonomic assignments to four Antarctic invertebrate phyla differed depending on metagenetic marker, and only application of non-arbitrary sequence processing parameters resulted in these findings. In Chapter 4, I use MHTS-derived biodiversity information to explore the relationship between soil properties and invertebrate biodiversity in the PCMs. Across large spatial scales distribution of phyla Tardigrada and Arachnida and classes Enoplea (Nematoda) and Bdelloidea (Rotifera) in inland areas are constrained by terrain-age-related accumulation of salts, while other Classes (Chromadorea, Nematoda and Monogonata, Bdelloidea) are better able to tolerate high salinity. In moister, nutrient-richer and more coastal areas, this effect was less pronounced and a higher invertebrate diversity was found. The methods applied and developed in this thesis are a valuable starting point to advance the collection of biodiversity information across terrestrial Antarctica and other remote habitats. The work presented here provides examples for generation and usage of MHTS information from remote Antarctic habitats, demonstrates how biodiversity information retrieved using different metagenetic markers can be combined, developed methods for assessing the quality of MHTS markers and finally demonstrated the application of MHTS data to investigate the environmental determinants of invertebrate diversity in remote ice-free habitats. Future MHTS biodiversity studies of Antarctic terrestrial habitats should incorporate large sample numbers and use combined data from multiple genetic markers.

Abstract:

This item is only available electronically.
The Fisher Terrane, located in the central region of the Prince Charles Mountains, east Antarctica, evolved during the Mesoproterozoic as a magmatic arc system. Metapelitic schists from the Fisher Massif were deposited after 1206 ± 49 Ma and yield metamorphic monazite ages of c. 538–505 Ma relating to the regionally recognized Neoproterozoic to early Cambrian Prydz Event. Calculated phase equilibria modelling constrains the metamorphic conditions during this event to 2.6–4.0 kbar and 553–576°C, relating to apparent thermal gradients of 144 °C/kbar to 212 °C/kbar. Conditions such as these are plausibly related to metamorphism taking place in an extensional back-arc setting which was then subsequently inverted and thickened via continental collision. A migmatitic felsic gneiss from Nilsson Rocks yields metamorphic monazite 206Pb/238U ages between 1115–1050 Ma with a weighted average age of 1085.0 ± 7.1 Ma. This metamorphic event may relate to a similarly aged episode of subduction related magmatism identified elsewhere in the central Prince Charles Mountains. This study therefore presents evidence of previously unidentified Prydz-aged high-thermal gradient metamorphism in the Fisher Terrane as well as identifying an older c. 1085 Ma metamorphic event not documented elsewhere in the Prince Charles Mountains.

Abstract:

Some years ago a friend of mine, Stuart Mace, gave me a letter opener hand-carved from a piece of rosewood. Over his 70-some years Stuart had become an accomplished wood craftsman, photographer, dog trainer, gourmet cook, teacher, raconteur, skier, naturalist, and allaround legend in his home town of Aspen, Colorado. High above Aspen, Stuart and his wife, Isabel, operated a shop called Toklat, which in Eskimo means “alpine headwaters,” featuring an array of woodcrafts, Navajo rugs, jewelry, fish fossils, and photography. He would use his free time in summers to rebuild parts of a ghost town called Ashcroft for the U.S. Forest Service. He charged nothing for his time and labor. For groups venturing up the mountain from Aspen, he and Isabel would cook dinners featuring local foods cooked with style and simmered over great stories about the mountains, the town, and their lives. Stuart was seldom at a loss for words.His living, if that is an appropriate word for a how a Renaissance man earns his keep, was made as a woodworker. He and his sons crafted tables and cabinetwork with exquisite inlaid patterns using an assortment of woods from forests all over the world. A Mace table was like no other, and so was its price. Long before it was de rigueur to do so, Stuart bought his wood from forests managed for long-term ecological health. The calibration between ecological talk and do wasn’t a thing for Stuart. He paid attention to details. I first met Stuart in 1981. I was living in the Ozarks at the time and part of an educational organization that included, among other things, a farm and steam-powered sawmill. In the summer of 1981 one of our projects was to provide two tractor-trailer loads of oak beams for the Rocky Mountain Institute being built near Old Snowmass. Stuart advised us about cutting and handling large timber, about which we knew little. From that time forward Stuart and I would see each other several times a year either when he traveled through Arkansas or when I wandered into Aspen in search of relief from Arkansas summers. He taught me a great deal, not so much about wood per se as about the relation of ecology, economics, craftwork, generosity, and good-heartedness. I last saw Stuart in a hospital room shortly before he died of cancer in June 1993.
