Recent work has documented dramatic changes in the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) over the past 30 years (e.g., mass loss, glacier acceleration, surface warming) due largely to the influence of the marine environment. WAIS is particularly vulnerable to large-scale atmospheric dynamics that remotely influence the transport of marine aerosols to the ice sheet. Understanding seasonal- to decadal-scale changes in the marine influence on WAIS (particularly sea-ice concentration) is vital to our ability to predict future change. In this thesis, I develop tools that enable us to reconstruct the source and transport variability of marine aerosols to West Antarctica in the past. I validate new firn-core sea-ice proxies over the satellite era; results indicate that firn-core glaciochemical records from this dynamic region may provide a proxy for reconstructing Amundsen Sea and Pine Island Bay polynya variability prior to the satellite era. I next investigate the remote influence of tropical Pacific variability on marine aerosol transport to West Antarctica. Results illustrate that both source and transport of marine aerosols to West Antarctica are controlled by remote atmospheric forcing, linking local dynamics (e.g., katabatic winds) with large-scale teleconnections to the tropics (e.g., Rossby waves). Oxygen isotope records allow me to further investigate the relationship between West Antarctic firn-core records and temperature, precipitation origin, sea-ice variability, and large-scale atmospheric circulation. I show that the tropical Pacific remotely influences the source and transport of the isotopic signal to the coastal ice sheet. The regional firm-core array reveals a spatially varying response to remote tropical Pacific forcing. Finally, I investigate longer-term (-200 year) ocean and ice-sheet changes using the methods and results gleaned from the previous work. I utilize sea-ice proxies to reconstruct long-term changes in sea-ice and polynya variability in the Amundsen Sea, and show that the tropics remotely influence West Antarctica over decadal timescales. This thesis utilizes some of the highest-resolution, most coastal records in the region to date, and provides some of the first analyses of the seasonal- to decadal-scale controls on source and transport of marine aerosols to West Antarctica.

Повний текст джерелаIn order to study the climate variations recorded by ice cores, it is necessary to have precise chronologies for the ice and gas phases. The aim of this work has been to improve ice cores chronologies, covering the last 800 000 years, through new measurements of the isotopic composition of the air δ15N, δ18Oatm et δO2/N2) trapped in EPICA Dome C (EDC) ice core and the use of the Datice dating tool.The first important result of this PhD has been the production of the Antarctic Ice Core Chronology (AICC2012), common for EDC, Vostok, EPICA Droning Maud Land (EDML), TALos Dome ICE core (TALDICE) and NorthGRIP ice cores. The bipolar see-saw theory is still valid on the new chronology. The AICC2012 chronology gives an age for Termination II in good agreement with other climate archives. Moreover, the duration of interglacial periods is unchanged compared to EDC3. While building the AICC2012 chronology, we have pointed out several limitations. Since then, we have improved Datice in order to correctly integrate constraints deduced from layer counting and their associated uncertainties. These improvements permit to build coherent chronologies respecting the underlying hypotheses of Datice. Moreover, we propose a new parameterization of the uncertainty associated with the background thinning function based on ice mechanical properties of EDC ice core. Finally, we were able to deduce new age constraints thanks to the new measurements of δO2/N2 and δ18Oatm performed on well-conserved ice from EDC. A multi-proxy comparison of Vostok, EDC and Dome F ice cores over MIS 5 has highlighted a possible influence of local climatic parameters on δO2/N2. The analysis of the delay between δ18Oatm and precession shows some variability over the last 800 ka. We propose that the delay between δ18Oatm and precession is increased during periods associated with Heinrich events. The results obtained during this PhD should be used for the next ice core coherent chronology

Повний текст джерелаThis thesis interprets the environmental record of an Antarctic ice core by the analysis of trace elements. This ice core, henceforward called Mount Johns (MJ), was collected in the West Antarctica ice sheet (79°55'28"S and 94°23'18"W; 91.20 m long) in the austral summer of 2008/09. The core was decontaminated and subsampled at the Climate Change Institute (CCI, University of Maine - Maine / USA). The first 2137 samples, corresponding to the upper 45 m of the core, were analyzed in the CCI's JRC Element 2 spectrometer for 24 trace elements (Sr, Cd, Cs, Ba, La, Ce, Pr, Pb, Bi, U, As, Li, Al, S, Ca, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Na, Mg and K). This part of the core represents a 125 years (1883– 2008) record, according to relative dating based on Na, Sr and S seasonal variations and on the identification of major volcanic events in the period. The mean accumulation rate for the sampling site was 0.21 m-1 in eq. H2O in the same time period. The concentrations are controlled by seasonal climatic changes (summer/winter), by changes in atmospheric circulation, temperature anomalies, the transport distance and the natural and anthropogenic sources of these aerosols. Based on analysis of crustal and marine enrichment factors and Pearson correlations, the Al, Ba, Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, S, Sr and Ti concentrations have natural origin. Dust and soil from continental sources, primarily coming from arid areas in Australia, New Zealand and Patagonia, are considered important sources of Al, Mg and Ti. South Pacific marine aerosols, transported to the Antarctic continent by air masses, are predominant sources of Na, Sr, K, S and Ca. For the elements Ba, Fe and Mn, both crustal and marine sources are significant. In addition, Mn and S show a considerable contribution of volcanic origin (ranging from 20-30% of the total concentration). The results also show significant enrichment in arsenic concentrations due to human activities. Before 1900 the mean concentration was approximately 1.92 pg g-1, rising to 7.94 pg g-1 in 1950. This enrichment is directly related to mining emissions and casting of non-ferrous metals in South America, mainly in Chile. The decrease in the arsenic concentration, observed in the twenty-first century (mean concentration of 1.94 pg g-1 after 1999) is interpreted as a consequence of the introduction of environmental laws (in 1994) to reduce emissions of this element during the cupper mining and smelting in Chile. The HYSPLIT trajectories model show a clear seasonal variation in transport between the summer/autumn all and winter/spring months, where predominates an eastward transport throughout the year and a secondary transport from the northeast during the summer/fall. Correlations between the mean concentrations of the studied trace elements and the ERA-Interim reanalysis models for the 1979-2008 period indicate that marine aerosols concentrations are heavily influenced by weather conditions, for example, by sea surface temperature and sea ice concentration anomalies.

Повний текст джерелаThis dissertation investigates the ionic content record of the mount Johns ice core (79°55'28"S; 94°23'18"W) recovered from the West Antarctica, contributing to the spatial densification of glaciochemical information used in paleoclimatic studies. The concentrations of Na+ (16.6 ± 28.2 μg L-1), K+ (1.3 ± 3.7 μg L-1), Mg2+ (3.7 ± 3.7 μg L-1), Ca2+ (5.4 ± 3.4 μg L-1), Cl- (33.3 ± 43.7 μg L-1), SO42- (25.9 ± 17.7 μg L-1), NO3- (50.8 ± 18.5 μg L-1) e H3CSO3- (7.1 ± 5.4 μg L-1) were determined by ion chromatography on 2,164 samples for the period 1882–2008. The NO3- seasonal variability and, especially, of the nssSO42- in antiphase with the Na+, allowed the counting of annual cycles over the studied period. The identification of Krakatau (1883), Agung (1963) and Pinatubo / Hudson (1991) volcanic signals was used to determine reference horizons (absolute dating). Significant aerosols events were identified and grouped considering the ionic content, provenance and season of the year. The evaluation of the ions provenance and of the ionic balance points to ionic content origin: 36% come from sea salt aerosols, 13% from mineral dust, 17% originate from marine biogenic activity and 34% are chemical reactivity products in the atmosphere. It is observed a slight reduction in the Mg2+ (-0.04 μg L-1 y-1) and K+ (-0.01 μg L-1 y-1) concentrations, and stronger in the NO3- (-0.17 μg L-1 y-1), during the 1909–2008 period. The annual mean net accumulation rate averaged 0.21 ± 0.04 m w.e. y-1 in the period 1882–2008 did not show any significant trend and shows high correspondence with climatic reanalysis data in years with data overlap, with a cross-correlation coefficient of +0.42 (α < 0.05) for the period 1979–2008.

Повний текст джерелаThis dissertation examines a 35.06 m long firn core (IC-6) obtained in the Austral summer of 2004/2005 in the West Antarctic Sheet (at 81°03’10.1”S, 79°50’09.1”W; 750 m above sea level). This core was subsampled using a continuous melting system at the Climate Change Institute (CCI, University of Maine, Orono, Maine, USA) under a Class 100 room conditions. At CCI, 1380 samples went through an Element 2 mass spectrometer to determine (at low, middle and high resolutions) the concentration of 24 trace elements (Sr, Cd, Cs, Ba, La, Ce, Pr, Pb, Bi, U, As, Li, Al, S, Ca, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Na, Mg e K). The core records 38 years (1934 – 2002) of snow accumulation, as dated by seasonal variations of Na, Mg, Sr e Ca elements and Cl-, Na+ e Mg2+ ionic concentrations. The calculated mean annual accumulation is 0.30 m yr-1 (in H2O equivalent). Their mean concentrations are low and are similar to the ones found in other Antarctic ice core studies. Trace concentrations are controlled by seasonal variations (summer/winter), transport distance and by natural and anthropogenic sources. Cesium, barium, aluminium, titanium, vanadium, chrome, iron, cobalt, manganese and rare earths come from continental dust (mainly from the nearby Patriot Hills). Marine aerosols, from the pack ice surface and transported by air masses, are the sources for sodium, magnesium, strontium and sulphur. Both continental dust and marine aerosols contribute to the lithium, calcium and potassium concentrations. Global and regional (Mount Erebus and Deception Island) volcanic emissions are important trace elements sources, such as vanadium, chrome, manganese, cobalt, bismuth, arsenic, cadmium and lead, varying from 20% (lead and manganese) to 70% (cadmium e bismuth). Trace elements as lead, cadmium, bismuth e arsenic from natural sources have a minor contribution in the samples, human activities are thought to be the main cause for their mobilization and transport.

Повний текст джерелаParticular attention was given to the quantity of Pb added to the samples during the decontamination and sample storage stages of the sample preparation process. These stages, including the use of a stainless steel chisel for the decontamination, contributed ~5.2 pg to the total sample analysed, amounting to a concentration increase of ~13 fg g-1. In comparison, the mass spectrometer ion source contributed typically 89 +/- 19 fg to the blank, however its influence depended upon the amount of Pb available for analysis and so had the greatest impact when small volumes of samples with a very low concentration were analysed. As a consequence of these careful investigations of the Pb blank contributions to the samples, the corrections made to the Pb isotopic ratios and concentrations measured are smaller than previously reported evaluations of Pb in Antarctica by thermal ionisation mass spectrometry. The data indicate that East Antarctica was relatively pristine until -1884 AD, after which the first influence of anthropogenic Pb in Law Dome is observed. "Natural", pre-industrial, background concentrations of Pb and Ba were - 0.4 pg/g and - 1.3 pg/g, respectively, with Pb isotopic compositions within the range 206Pb/207Pb = 1.20 - 1.25 and 208Pb/207Pb = 2.46 - 2.50 and an average rock and soil dust Pb contribution of 8-12%. A major pollution event was observed at Law Dome between 1884 and 1908 AD, elevating the Pb concentration fourfold and changing 206Pb/207Pb ratios in the ice to ~1.12. Based on Pb isotopic systematics and Pb emissions statistics, this was attributed to Pb mined at Broken Hill and smelted at Broken Hill and Port Pirie, Australia.
Anthropogenic Pb inputs to Law Dome were most significant from ~1900 to 1910 and from ~1960 to 1980. During the 20th century, Ba concentrations were consistently higher than "natural" levels. This was attributed to increased dust production, suggesting the influence of climate change and/or changes in land coverage with vegetation. Law Dome ice dated from 1814 AD to 1819 AD was analysed for Pb isotopes and Pb, Ba and Bismuth (Bi) concentrations to investigate the influence of the 1815 AD volcanic eruption of Tambora, Indonesia. The presence of volcanic debris in the core samples was observed from late-1816 AD to 1818 AD as an increase in sulphate concentrations and electrical conductivity of the ice. Barium concentrations were approximately three times higher than background levels from mid-1816 to mid1818, consistent with increased atmospheric loading of rock and soil dust, while enhanced Pb/Ba and Bi/Ba ratios, associated with deposition of volcanic debris, were observed at mid-1814 and from early-1817 to mid-1818. From the results, it appeared likely that Pb emitted from Tambora was removed from the atmosphere within the 1.6 year period required to transport aerosols to Antarctica. Increased Pb and Bi concentrations observed in Law Dome ice ~1818 AD were attributed to either increased heavy metal emissions from Mount Erebus, or increased fluxes of heavy metals to the Antarctic ice sheet resulting from climate and meteorological modifications following the Tambora eruption.
A non-continuous series of Law Dome snow core samples dating from 1980 to 9185 AD were analysed to investigate seasonal variations in the deposition of Pb and Ba. It was found that Pb and Ba at Law Dome do exhibit seasonal variations in deposition, with higher concentrations of Pb and Ba usually observed during Summer and lower concentrations of Pb and Ba usually observed during the Autumn and Spring seasons. At Law Dome, broad patterns of seasonal Pb and Ba deposition are evident however these appear to be punctuated by short-term deposition events or may even be composed of a continuum of short-term deposition events. This variability suggests that complex meteorological systems are responsible for the transport of Pb and Ba to Law Dome, and probably Antarctica in general.

Повний текст джерелаO manto polar antártico retêm informação paleoclimatologica por entres suas camadas de neve e gelo. O gelo antártico tem revelado a base de dados paleoclimática de maior resolução para os últimos 800 mil anos. Os padrões de transporte atmosférico refletem a composição e a fonte do particulado encontrado na neve e no gelo do continente Antártico. Estando relacionado a processos climáticos, as características desse transporte alteram em quantidade e qualidade as espécies químicas que se depositam sobre o manto de gelo. Dessa forma, o estudo dos depósitos de particulado ao longo das camadas de neve/gelo na Antártica pode sugerir mudanças nos padrões de transporte atmosférico. Atualmente a comunidade científica discute as diferenças de padrões climáticos entre o leste e o oeste antártico. Enquanto de forma geral observa-se instabilidade no setor oeste, o clima da antártica oriental demonstra relativa estabilidade climática. Neste estudo, analisamos dois testemunhos de gelo recente de duas regiões com características climáticas diferentes do continente Antártico. No Platô Detroit situado na Península Antártica (6410′S/0600′O), analisamos a variabilidade de Black Carbon (BC) ao longo de 20 metros de neve. O BC encontrado na Península Antártica apresentou baixas concentrações comparáveis as encontradas no gelo do Artico período pré-industrial. Nossos resultados sugerem que sua variabiliade corresponde à sazonalidade dos períodos de queimada nos continentes do Hemisfério Sul. No interior do continente Antártico, analisamos o particulado em geral por um processo de microanálise ao longo de um testemunho de 40 metros extraído em Mont Johns (79o55′S/09423′O). Encontramos uma tendência negativa na deposição de poeira mineral (AlSi) entre 1967 e 2007. Nossos resultados sugerem que esta tendência seja resultado de um crescente isolamento atmosférico da região central do continente antártico pelo aumento da intensidade dos ventos ao redor da Antártica. Este aumento na intensidade dos ventos reflete por sua vez o resfriamento da alta atmosfera no centro antártico causado pela depleção da camada de ozônio na região. Adicionalmente, amostras de diferentes microambientes de Patriot Hills (8018′S/08121′O) foram coletadas de maneira asséptica para análise microbiológica. As amostras foram cultivadas em meio R2 e paralelamente o DNA total extraído foi sequenciado pela técnica de pirosequenciamento. Os resultados preliminares desta analise mostram grande riqueza de espécies dos mais variados grupos. Os resultados deste trabalho caracterizam três diferentes parâmetros relacionados a deposição atmosférica em duas áreas pouco exploradas e de grande interesse científico do continente antártico.
The antarctic ice cap stores paleoclimatological information within layers of snow and ice. Antarctic ice has revealed the higher resolution paleoclimactic database for the last 800 kyr. Atmospheric transport plays a fundamental role on the composition and sources of particulate matter found in the Antarctic ice. It has been related to several climatic processes that changes the quantity and quality of exogenous aerosols reaching Antarctica. Therefore, studies of the particulate matter deposits along the snow/ice layers may suggest changes on atmospheric transport patterns. This work, analyze two recent ice cores from two climatic distinct regions of the Antarctic continent. One retrieved from Detroit Plateau/Antarctic Peninsula (6410′S/0600′W), in which we have analyze Black Carbon (BC) deposition and variability along 20 meters of snow. BC found in the Antarctic Peninsula showed low concentrations (varing between 0,014 and 3,733ppb), comparable to the concentrations found on Arctic ice dated from before the industrial revolution period. Our results suggest that peaks of BC detected correspond, mostly, to biomass burning seasons in the South Hemisphere, not speficically from South America. The second one, of 40 m, was retrieved from Central-West Antarctica, Mont Johns (79o55′S/094 23′W), in which we analyzed the mineral dust abundance thought M.E.V. E.D.X. technique. In this study we found negative trends in mineral dust (inferred from Fe, Ti and AlSi) deposition between 1967 and 2007, in contrast to similar works in Sub-antarctic regions. We demonstrate that this trend is a consequence of the persistent atmospheric isolation that encloses the Central and East Antarctic regions due to the increasing winds around Antarctica within this period. It has been documented that westerlies intensification reflect the upper atmosphere cooling above Central Antarctica caused by the stratospherical ozone layer depletion. As part of the polar site characterization, we additionally have performed sampling for microbiological purpose from distinct microenvironments at Patriot Hills (8018′S/08121′W). Samples were cultivated on R2 media and at the same time total DNA on samples was extracted and sent to a pyrosequencing analysis. Preliminary results show richness and diversity of bacterial species distributed on five phyla.

Повний текст джерелаAntarctica is a major component in Earth’s climate system, as the equator to pole temperature gradient controls the characteristics of the general circulation of the atmosphere. Antarctica is also very useful to understand climate variability, as past climate information preserved in the ice may help extend the short observational records. However, the ice core drilling locations are unevenly spread across the glaciated continent, and the temperature reconstructions from the high elevation East Antarctic plateau suffer from poor temporal resolution, because low snow accumulation hampers our interpretation of water isotopes. Here, we present new temperature reconstructions from the Aurora Basin North (ABN, 77°S, 111°E, 2700 masl) ice core. First, we use the regional atmospheric model MAR to characterize the recent climate at ABN, and show that precipitation events are intermittent, and occur under temperature 2°C warmer than average. The large precipitation events are marked in the snow isotopes with δ18O values on par with summer levels, even during the winter, as attested by snow measurements and the isotope-enabled atmospheric model ECHAM5-wiso. Precipitations are consistently associated with a blocking on the Wilkes Land coast, North-East of ABN, and the blockings are more likely to occur during negative phases of the Southern Annular Mode (SAM), the main mode of variability in the southern hemisphere climate. Consequently, SAM positive phases are marked by cold temperatures at ABN, but not necessarily low δ18O, as precipitations may be weakened. The temperature reconstructed from the δ18O in the 300-m-deep, 2000-year ice core drilled at ABN supports stable conditions, with a temperature remaining within a ± 1°C range. We present a second temperature reconstruction from the same core, based on the inversion of borehole temperature and past firn temperature gradients, estimated with the stable isotope composition of Ar and N2 gases trapped in bubbles. This second temperature reconstruction, representative of changes in the snow, suggests that temperature at ABN was about 3°C colder during two periods of the last 2000 years: from 300 to 550 CE, and from 1000 to 1400 CE. This medieval cold anomaly is concurrent with a positive SAM phase, and could not be identified from the δ18O alone. This work highlights the importance of using multiple proxies to determine past temperature variability in Antarctica, as δ18O may be biased towards warm precipitation events
