Coring Analyses of Cores from Near Shore Sites in the Vestfold Hills

The sedimentological, chemical and isotopic characteristics of sediment cores from three slightly saline to hypersaline lakes (Highway, Ace and Organic Lakes) and two marine inlets (Ellis Fjord and Taynaya Bay) in the Vestfold Hills, Antarctica have been examined.
Sections of the cores deposited in marine environments are characterised by uniform, regularly laminated, fine grained, organic-rich sediments, with uniform organic delta 13C values (-18.0 to 19.4 ppt vs. PDB) and sulfur contents.  In contrast, sediments deposited in lacustrine environments are extremely heterogeneous, varying from finely laminated mat-like sequences to poorly sorted clastic-rich sediments.  Authigenic monohydrocalcite and aragonite occur in some lake sediments. 
The delta 13C values of organic matter in the lacustrine sediments exhibit an extremely wide range (-10.5 to -25.3 ppt) that can be related to variations in physico-chemical conditions in the lake waters.  Strongly negative organic-delta 13C values coupledwith high sulfur contents are indicative of an anoxic zone in the overlying lake waters, whereas less negative organic-delta 13C values coupled with low sulfur contents are indicative of well-mixed oxic conditions.  Particularly high organic-delta 13C values result during high levels of microbial activity in the lakes, due to high rates of photosynthetic CO2 fixation.  The large shifts in organic-delta 13C are not necessarily accompanied by any change in macroscopic sedimentological characteristics, illustrating the utility if isotopic investigations in these environments.  The delta 13C composition of authigenic carbonate in hypersaline Organic Lake sediments provides a record of changes in palaeoproductivity, while the delta 18O of the carbonate provides information on rates of meltwater input and evaporation in the lake. 14C-dating suggests that Highway Lake was isolated from the sea by isostatic uplift at least 4600 years before present (BP) whereas Organic Lake was isolated at approximately 2700 years BP.  Apparent emergence rates calculated from the 14C ages range from 1.0 to 2.1 mm per year.
The 'reservoir effect' in the lacustrine and marine environments is variable, but probably does not exceed ~ 1000 years in any of the lakes examined.

MODIS Derived Chlorophyll a dataset: Seasonal Variations

The dataset measures the long-term seasonal variations of the chlorophyll a concentrations of ocean surface waters. They are derived from MODIS (aqua) images using NASA's SeaDAS image processing software. The monthly chlorophyll a images between July 2002 and December 2017 are used to calculate the standard deviations of the four austral seasons: winter (June, July, and August), spring (September, October and November), summer (December, January and February) and autumn (March, April and May). The extent of the dataset covers the entire Australian EEZ and surrounding waters (including the southern ocean). The unit of the dataset is mg/m3.
This research is supported by the National Environmental Science Program (NESP) Marine Biodiversity Hub through Project D1.

Larval krill data collected during the BROKE-West voyage

These data were collected during the BROKE-West voyage of the 2005-2006 season.
They are numbers of krill larvae per cubic metre of water at each of the stations at which data were collected.  The data cover three species of Antarctic krill - Euphausia crystallorophias, Euphausia superba and Thysanoessa macrura.
The superba data have been published in the Kawaguchi et al paper, "Krill demography and large-scale distribution in the Western Indian Ocean sector of the Southern Ocean (CCAMLR Division 58.4.2) in Austral summer of 2006".  The data for the other species will be presented in a forthcoming paper by Kerrie Swadling.
This work was completed as part of ASAC projects 2655 and 2679 (ASAC_2655, ASAC_2679).

Great Barrier Reef 2012 humpback whale aerial survey

This dataset is a collection of dedicated humpback whale sightings and effort from a double platform line transect aerial survey program conducted in the Great Barrier Reef. The survey was undertaken 3-10 August 2012 using a Partenavia Observer P-68B six-seater, twin engine, high-wing aircraft at a ground speed of 100 knots in passing mode at an altitude of 1000 ft. The survey was undertaken to coincide with peak humpback whale abundance within the breeding season, when it is assumed whales are utilising habitat important to their breeding behaviour and not engaging in migratory behaviour. For more details of the survey see:

Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition 2017: motion sensor and GPS data

Raw GPS and ship motion data collected during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition 2016/2017.
Waves in the Southern Ocean are the biggest on the planet. They exert extreme stresses on the coastline of the Sub-Antarctic Islands, which affects coastal morphology and the delicate natural environment that the coastline offers. In Antarctic waters, the sea ice cover reflects a large proportion of the wave energy, creating a complicated sea state close to the ice edge. The remaining proportion of the wave energy penetrates deep into the ice-covered ocean and breaks the ice into relatively small floes. Then, the waves herd the floes and cause them to collide and raft. 
There is a lack of field data in the Sub-Antarctic and Antarctic Oceans. Thus, wave models are not well calibrated and perform poorly in these regions. Uncertainties relate to the difficulties to model the strong interactions between waves and currents (the Antarctic Circumpolar and tidal currents) and between waves and ice (reflected waves modify the incident field and ice floes affect transmission into the ice-covered ocean). Drawbacks in wave modelling undermine our understanding and ability to protect this delicate ocean and coastal environment.   
By installing a Wave and Surface Current Monitoring System (WaMoS II, a marine X-Band radar) on the research vessel Akademic Thresnikov and using the meteo-station and GPS on-board, this project has produced a large database of winds, waves and surface currents. Dara were collected during the Antarctic Circmumnavigaion Expedition, which took place from Dec. 2016 to Mar. 2017. The instrumentation operated in any weather and visibility conditions, and at night, monitoring the ocean continuously over the entire Circumnavigation.
Records can support  


the assessment of metocean conditions in the Southern Oceans; and 


calibration and validation of wave and global circulation models. 


Data - AAS_4434_ACE_GPS contains basic metereological conditions acquired form the ship’s meteo-station, gepgraphical coordinates (latitude, longitude and altitude) from the ship’s GPS and ship motion data from the ship’s Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). These data are stored as time series with a sampling frequency of 1Hz.

EM-APEX float data collected from a standing meander near the Macquarie Ridge south of Australia

The ‘Data’ folder contains the quality-controlled data from 7 Electromagnetic Autonomous Profiling Exploer (EM-APEX) floats in which 6 were deployed in a standing meander, between the southeast Indian Ridge and the Macquarie Ridge, which we call the Macquarie meander. The floats were deployed as part of the Dynamics of Eddy Fluxes Energised by Currents over Topography (DEFLECT) project aimed to observe, quantify, and understand the ACC jet, meander, mesoscale eddy and topography interaction processes and resolve competing hypotheses that govern the strength of the ACC and its response to changes in forcing. The voyage took place aboard RV Investigator between 16 October – 11 November 2018. Three of the floats (EM-8495, EM-8496 and EM-8497) were deployed later in September 2020 in the same meander location. Each of the floats profiled for about six months between 145-170°E, 50-60°S.
One of the floats in the data (EM-7789) was deployed in the Subantarctic Front of the ACC southeast of New Zealand in 2016.
There are two data types in the folder. The .mat file contains all the profiles as sent by the floats but quality controlled. The netcdf files contain the quality-controlled data from each float (named with the hull number of each float) which were interpolated into a uniform pressure-profile number grid. While the .mat file contains all the variables which were generated as part of the quality-control procedures, the netcdf files contain only the temperature, salinity, time, and horizontal velocity (absolute and relative velocity) data in a grid.
Details of the data quality control procedures for the EM-APEX floats are provided in the document ‘EM-APEX QC manual.pdf’. Contact A/Prof. Helen Phillips (h.e.phillips@utas.edu.au), Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, Tasmania, Australia for a full-voyage report and additional information.

Artificial Substrate Units from the antFOCE (Antarctic Free Ocean Carbon Enrichment) experiment at Casey Station

Refer to antFOCE report section 4.5.2 for deployment, sampling and analysis details.
https://data.aad.gov.au/metadata/records/AAS_4127_antFOCE_Project4127
The download file contains an Excel workbook with one data spreadsheet and one of notes relevant to the data. The data are the total number of each organism collected from artificial substrate units (plastic pot scourers) deployed in chambers or open plots during the antFOCE experiment (Data = Number of Individuals). Analysis methods are detailed in the Notes spreadsheet.    
Background 
The antFOCE experimental system was deployed in O’Brien Bay, approximately 5 kilometres south of Casey station, East Antarctica, in the austral summer of 2014/15. Surface and sub-surface (in water below the sea ice) infrastructure allowed controlled manipulation of seawater pH levels (reduced by 0.4 pH units below ambient) in 2 chambers placed on the sea floor over natural benthic communities. Two control chambers (no pH manipulation) and two open plots (no chambers, no pH manipulation) were also sampled to compare to the pH manipulated (acidified) treatment chambers.  
Details of the antFOCE experiment can be found in the report – “antFOCE 2014/15 – Experimental System, Deployment, Sampling and Analysis”. This report and a diagram indicating how the various antFOCE data sets relate to each other are available at:

Subset of data from the TAGS database of known age seals - Leopard Seals

This database is a compendium of histories of known age seals (leopard) from observations across the Southern Ocean but primarily focussed on Macquarie Island.  Although the following information pertains to Elephant Seals, it is assumed similar procedures were undertaken with the Leopard Seals between 1957 and 1999:
"At Macquarie Island 1000 seals were weighed per annum between 1993-2003 at birth and individually marked with two plastic flipper tags in the inter-digital webbing of their hind flippers. These tagged seals were weighed again at weaning, when length, girth, fat depth, and flipper measurements were made. Three weeks after weaning 2000 seals were permanently and individually marked by hot-iron branding. Recaptures and re-weighings of these known aged individuals were used to calculate growth and age-specific survival of the seals.
Similar data were collected from elephant seals between 1950 and 1965 when seals were individually marked by hot-iron branding. Mark-recapture data from these cohorts were used to assess the demography of the declining population. Length and mass data were also collected for these cohorts and were used, for the first time, to assess the growth of individual seals without killing them."
The database was held by the Australian Antarctic Data Centre, but was taken offline due to maintenance problems.  A snapshot of the database was taken in June 2018 and stored in an access database.
This work was completed as part of ASAC project 90.

Gut Content Analyis of Zooplankton in the Indian Ocean, 2014-2015

We studied the gut contents of four dominant copepod species (Calanoides acutus, Calanus propinquus, Calanus simillimus and Rhincalanus gigas) during the summer (2014-2015) along a latitudinal gradient (sampled every 5° between 40°S and 65°S) in the Indian sector of the SO. Diatoms were the most abundant food item found in the guts, comprising 24 of the 25 species found, and 15 were common to the four species of copepod studied. Diatoms accounted for the lowest proportion of the diet in the warmer, northern waters while all the large diatoms (e.g. Chaetoceros atlanticus, C. criophilus, C. dichaeta, Corethron spp.) were only found at 65oS. The most frequent species in the guts were the centric diatoms Thalassiosira spp. (4 to 57%) and the pennate diatoms Fragilariopsis kerguelensis (27 to 80%) and Trichoctoxon reinboldii (2 to 50%); proportions varied within a species across locations. These species were found at all sites examined, whereas some diatoms were specific to one copepod species: Asteromphalus spp. (in R. gigas), C. criophilus and C. dichaeta (in C. acutus), Nitzschia lecointei and N. sicula (in C. propinquus).

Squid in the antarctic and subantarctic, their biology and ecology

From the abstract of the referenced paper:
Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA markers (RAPDs) were applied in a cephalopod population study.  Samples of the squid Moroteuthis ingens taken from around the Falkland Islands and Macquarie Island were used to test a null hypothesis that M. ingens forms a single, panmictic population in the Southern Ocean.  Six of the 8 arbitrary RAPD primers screened produced a total of 30 reproducible polymorphic bands.  Analysis of RAPD allele frequencies demonstrated high levels of variation between individuals but little variation between two sample sites.  Although the differentiation between the two sites was low, subtle population structure was detected and the null hypothesis was rejected.  The implications of low genetic differentiation between the two sites are briefly discussed in terms of possible egg and para-larval drift facilitated via the circumpolar current.
The PDF document available for download also includes a number of data tables.
