Outlook for Policy Makers: The Antarctic Ice Sheet and Sea Level

This document outlines strategic priorities for understanding the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) and its impacts on sea-level rise due to climate change, drawn primarily from a recent collaborative science review led by the Australian Antarctic Division and includes recent updates to projections of future change. It highlights the threats posed by AIS melting to Australia and its neighbours, including in the Pacific, along with research priorities and policy recommendations.

Aurora Australis Marine Science Cruise AU1203 (V3 2011/2012), CLIVAR I9S transect and Adelie Land - ship-based CTD data.

Oceanographic measurements were collected aboard Aurora Australis cruise au1203, voyage 3 2011/2012, from 5th January to 12th February 2012. The cruise commenced with opportunistic CTD's in the region of the Adelie Depression and the former Mertz Glacier ice tongue, followed by a full south to north occupation of the CLIVAR/WOCE meridional section I9S. A total of 95 CTD vertical profile stations were taken on the cruise, most to within 15 metres of the bottom.  Over 1500 Niskin bottle water samples were collected for the measurement of salinity, dissolved oxygen, nutrients (phosphate, nitrate+nitrite and silicate), dissolved inorganic carbon (i.e. TCO2), alkalinity, pH, barium (dissolved), and biological parameters, using a 24 bottle rosette sampler. Full depth current profiles were collected by an LADCP attached to the CTD package, while upper water column current profile data were collected by a ship mounted ADCP. Meteorological and water property data were collected by the array of ship's underway sensors. An array of 5 current meter moorings was recovered from the Antarctic continental slope at the south end of the I9S transect.

Distribution, Abundance and Biology of the Crabeater Seal Lobodon Carcinop Hagus in the Pack Ice Region of the Australian Antarctic Territory

Metadata record for data from ASAC Project 378
See the link below for public details on this project.
From the abstract of the referenced paper:
Observations on five groups of crabeater seals were conducted between 29 October and 17 November 1985 in the Antarctic pack ice near 66 degrees S 50 degrees E, off Enderby Land. The pups studied were born in the last half of October. Two of them increased in weight at a rate of approximately 4.2kg per day. The lactation period was 2-3 weeks and thus is one of the breifest among pinnipeds. Pups decreased in weight after weaning. The only pup visited after it left the natal floe must have been feeding, as it had only lost 2kg in a 10-day period during which it moved 13 km. Molt of lanugo appeared to be influenced by more a pups weight than by whether or not it was weaned.

Laboratory studies of the flow of ice

Metadata record for data from ASAC Project 8 See the link below for public details on this project.
This project studies the fundamentals of how ice flows. The project is carried out primarily in the Hobart laboratories, and involves experiments in which ice samples from Antarctica are loaded under various stresses at different temperatures. The ice samples are selected with a range of crystal sizes, crystal orientations, impurity content, etc. so that the effect of each of these properties on the flow of the ice can be measured.
The ice flow within the Antarctic Ice Sheet is governed largely by the deformation of the ice near the base. It is thus essential to understand the flow processes in the basal ice to accurately model the Antarctic Ice Sheet mass balance. Therefore, over the next 3 years,this project will carry out measurements at warm temperatures, of the flow rates of silty ice similar to that found at the base of the ice sheet.
Records for this work have been archived at the Australian Antarctic Division.

An excel spreadsheet (Biopsy_info_ ABWV2013.xlsx) details the biopsy processing that occurred upon collection of a sample. Where possible, each blue whale sample was split and preserved in 2 x All Protect, 1 x EtOH and 1 x Nitrogen. Each humpback sample was additionally preserved in RNA later and stored at -20 degrees Celsius and individually detailed in spreadsheet Biopsy_info _ABWV2013(hbw).xlsx. Biopsy samples were processed to determine sex and relatedness using DLOOP analysis and the results are held in: 240513 BW Sexing Results.xls

Molecular Characterisation of Cold-Adapted Metallo-Oxotransferases from the Dimethylsulfoxide Reductase Family Expressed by Antarctic Bacteria

Metadata record for data from ASAC Project 2547
See the link below for public details on this project.
Pue (greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE) samples of nitrate reductase have been isolated from the Antarctic bacterium, Shewanella gelidimarina (ACAM 456T; Accession number U85907 (16S rDNA)).  The protein is ~90 kDa (similar to nitrate reductase enzymes characterised from alternate bacteria) and stains positive in an in-situ nitrate reduction (native) assay technique.  The protein may be N-terminal blocked, although further sequencing experiments are required to confirm this. 
This work is based upon phenotyped Antarctic bacteria (S. gelidimarina; S.frigidimarina) that was collected during other ASAC projects. (Refer: Psychrophilic Bacteria from Antarctic Sea-ice and Phospholipids of Antarctic sea ice algal communities new sources of PUFA [ASAC_708] and Biodiversity and ecophysiology of Antarctic sea-ice bacteria [ASAC_1012]).
The download file contains 4 scientific papers produced from this work - one of these papers also contains a large set of accession numbers for data stored at GenBank.

Locations of sampling sites for ASAC project 40 on voyage 1 of the Aurora Australis in the 2002/2003 season.  Samples were collected between October and November of 2002.
The final dataset will contain information on chlorophyll, carotenoids, coccolithophorids and species indentification and counts.
Public Summary from the project:
This program aims to determine the role of single celled plants, animals, bacteria and viruses in Antarctic waters.

Metadata file presenting the stable isotope toolbox used to describe the biogeochemical system functioning during the SIPEX II voyage of the Aurora Australis, 2012

Overview of the project and objectives:
To investigate whether the Nitrogen - Silicon - Carbon biogeochemical system functions in the Antarctic Marginal Ice Zone and shows spatial variability possibly induced by varying availability of Fe and other parameters in the region. This toolbox is part of project 4051 - samples were taken (1) on the same sea-ice site or very close than the one used for Trace Metal sampling; (2) via Trace Metal Rosette TMR; (3) via Conductivity Temperature and Depth CTD Rosette. It is also part of project 4073 since some intercalibration studies were conducted in collaboration with the primary production team. 
Three main tools were used which can be either independently or intricately studied. For this reason the complete set of sampling done for this stable isotope toolbox is summarized in one excel file which is duplicated and attached to three child metadata records. Same reasoning for raw data acquired on boar and on field information. 
This parent metadata record has thus three child metadata records. Each of the child metadata files explain individually the different approaches which were treated together by the same team to resolve the main question of sea-ice biogeochemical system functioning via the use of stable isotope ratio tools. The details of each are in the respective metadata records.
The data are attached to this metadata record.
METADATA FILES are:

13C, 15N, 30Si in-situ incubation experiments during SIPEX 2
Nitrogen and oxygen isotopic composition of nitrate during SIPEX 2
Delta13C signal of brassicasterol and cholesterol in the Antarctic Sea-ice / Is there particulate barium in sea-ice?
