Seafloor Mapping Survey, Windmill Islands and Casey region, Antarctica, December 2014 - February 2015

From December 2014 to February 2015, Geoscience Australia conducted a multibeam sonar survey (GA-0348) of the coastal waters around Casey station and the adjacent Windmill Islands. The survey utilised GA's Kongsberg EM3002D multibeam echosounder, motion reference unit and C-Nav differential GPS system mounted on the Australian Antarctic Division's (AAD) science workboat the Howard Burton. The survey was a collaborative project between GA, the AAD and the Royal Australian Navy (RAN).
During the survey a total of approximately 27.3 square kilometres of multibeam bathymetry, backscatter and water-column data were collected, extending coverage of a RAN multibeam survey (survey number HI545) conducted the previous season (approximately 7 square kilometres). The regions covered extended seaward of Newcomb Bay and Clark Peninsula northwest of Casey Station, and seaward of Shirley and Beall Islands to the southwest. Complimentary datasets were also collected, including 18 drop video deployments to assess the benthic ecosystem composition and 39 sediment samples to ground-truth the seafloor substrate. Macroalgae spectral analyses were also collected to develop a spectral library for possible future satellite bathymetry investigations.
The new high-resolution bathymetric grid (1 metre resolution) reveals seafloor features in the Casey area in unprecedented detail.

Chlorophyll K-Axis Voyage V3 2015/16

Size fractionated chlorophyll a data (total and less than 20 µm) analysed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Underway samples were taken using a seawater line in the oceanographic lab on RSV Aurora Australis (approx. depth 4 m). CTD samples were taken using Niskin bottles attached to a CTD rosette. Six depths were sampled per station, based on fluorescence profiles from the CTD. Two of the two of six samples always included both near-surface (approximately 10 m) and the depth of the chlorophyll maximum where applicable. HPLC analyses were conducted according to the method of Wright et al. (2010). Column chlorophylls (µg L-1) and integrated chlorophylls (mg m-2) are shown in two separate tabs within the Excel spreadsheet.

Genetic signature of Last Glacial Maximum regional refugia in a circum-Antarctic sea spider

Metadata record for data collected as part of Australian Antarctic Science project 3010 in the Australian Antarctic program.
From the abstract of the referenced paper:
The evolutionary history of Antarctic organisms is becoming increasingly important to understand and manage population trajectories under rapid environmental change. The Antarctic sea spider Nymphon australe, with an apparently large population size compared with other sea spider species, is an ideal target to look for molecular signatures of past climatic events. We analysed mitochondrial DNA of specimens collected from the Antarctic continent and two Antarctic islands (AI) to infer past population processes and understand current genetic structure. Demographic history analyses suggest populations survived in refugia during the Last Glacial Maximum. The high genetic diversity found in the Antarctic Peninsula and East Antarctic (EA) seems related to multiple demographic contraction-expansion events associated with deep-sea refugia, while the low genetic diversity in the Weddell Sea points to a more recent expansion from a shelf refugium. We suggest the genetic structure of N. australe from AI reflects recent colonization from the continent. At a local level, EA populations reveal generally low genetic differentiation, geographically and bathymetrically, suggesting limited restrictions to dispersal. Results highlight regional differences in demographic histories and how these relate to the variation in intensity of glaciation-deglaciation events around Antarctica, critical for the study of local evolutionary processes. These are valuable data for understanding the remarkable success of Antarctic pycnogonids, and how environmental changes have shaped the evolution and diversification of Southern Ocean benthic biodiversity.

East Antarctic sediment carbonate mineralogy, 2020

Marine sediments often represent an important reservoir of carbonate minerals that will react rapidly to changing seawater chemistry as a result of ocean acidification. Ocean acidification (the reaction of CO2 with seawater) lowers the saturation state with respect to carbonate minerals and may lead to dissolution of these minerals if undersaturation occurs.
There are three main carbonate minerals found in marine sediments:
1. aragonite
2. calcite (also referred to as low-magnesium calcite, containing less than 4mol% MgCO3)
3. high-magnesium calcite (greater than 4 mol% MgCO3)
Due to the different structure of these minerals, they have different solubilities with high-Mg calcite the most soluble, followed by aragonite and then calcite. As seawater CO2 increases and the saturation state with respect to carbonate minerals decreases, high-Mg calcite will be the first mineral subject to undersaturation and dissolution.
By measuring the carbonate mineral composition of sediments, we can determine which areas are most at risk from dissolution. This information forms an important baseline with which we can assess future climate change. The effect of ocean acidification on carbonates in marine sediments will occur around the world, but due to the lower seawater temperatures in Antarctica, solubility is much lower so the impacts will occur here first.
This dataset is a compilation of carbonate mineralogy data from surface sediments collected from the East Antarctic margin. The dataset includes sample metadata, bulk carbonate content, %calcite, % aragonite and mol% MgCO3 (i.e. the magnesium content of high-Mg calcite). This dataset was compiled from new (up to 2020) and archived sediment samples that contacted sufficient carbonates (typically greater than 3% CaCO3)/

Whole rock geochemistry - radiogenic isotopes -  from selected basalts dredged from seamounts in the south Tasman Sea during RV Investigator voyage IN2018_V08

Sr-Nd-Pb-Hf isotope analytical technique
Splits of agate-milled powders (100-140 mg) were leached with 6M HCl (100oC, 60 min) and digested at high pressure (HF, 160oC, 48 hrs; HCl, 160oC, 12 hrs). Replicate splits were processed for three samples. Pb was extracted on small columns of AG1-X8 (100-200) anion exchange, using the HBr-HCl technique. Hf, Nd, and Sr were extracted using Eichrom LN-, TRU/LN, and Sr resin, respectively (Münker et al., 2001; Pin et al., 2014). Total analytical blanks (~50 pg for Pb and Hf; ≤100 pg for Nd and Sr) are negligible compared to the amounts of Pb, Hf, Nd, and Sr processed. 
All isotopic analyses were carried out on a Nu Plasma multi-collector ICP-MS with sample introduction via a low-uptake Glass Expansion PFA nebuliser and a CETAC Aridus desolvator. Sensitivity in this set-up is in the range of 130-150 V/ppm Sr, Nd, Pb, or Hf. Instrumental mass bias in Nd, Sr, and Hf analyses was corrected by normalizing to 146Nd/144Nd = 0.7219, 86Sr/88Sr = 0.1194, and 179Hf/177Hf=0.7325, respectively, using the exponential law. 143Nd/144Nd, 87Sr/86Sr, and 176Hf/177Hf are reported relative to La Jolla Nd = 0.511860, SRM987 = 0.710230, and JMC475 = 0.282160. Results for USGS rock and other standards are consistent with TIMS and MC-ICP-MS reference values (see http://dx.doi.org/doi:10.26179/04ec-cc75 for further details). 
Typical in-run precisions (2sd) 4 are ±0.000010 (Nd), ±0.000016 (Sr), and ±0.000008 (Hf). External (2sd) precisions are ±0.000020, ±0.000040, and ±0.000015, respectively. Mass bias for Pb was corrected using the thallium-doping technique (Woodhead, 2002). This produces data with an external precision (2sd) of ±0.04-0.06% for 206Pb/204Pb and 207Pb/204Pb, and 0.07-0.09% for 208Pb/204Pb.

Nella Dan: ADBEX III Cruise - Oceanographic and nutrient data

This dataset contains CTD (conductivity, temperature, depth) and nutrient (nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, silicate, manganese) data obtained from the Antarctic Division BIOMASS Experiment III (ADBEX III) cruise of the Nella Dan, during Sep - Dec 1985. This cruise is the fifth cruise out of a series of six, conducting a long term field survey on krill and other zooplankton. 50 CTD casts were taken in the Prydz Bay region, and nutrient data were collected at 25 of the  stations. Casts were made to 2000 m or to near bottom over the continental shelf. The oceanographic and nutrient programs were subordinate to other programs and so the locations of the CTD stations were not always ideal for oceanographic purposes.
