Role of Antarctic marine protists in trophodynamics and global change and impact of UV-B on these organisms - Rotation 4 of the Astrolabe - 2004/2005 samples

Locations of sampling sites for ASAC project 40 on rotation 4 of the French polar supply ship L'Astrolabe in the 2004/2005 season.  Samples were collected between February and March of 2005.
The final dataset will contain information on chlorophyll, carotenoids, coccolithophorids and species identification 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. We quantify their vital role as food for other organisms, their potential influence in moderating global climate change through absorption of CO2 and production of DMS, and determine their response to effect of climate change.
For more information, see the other metadata records related to ASAC project 40 (ASAC_40).

Aurora Australis Voyage 2 2011/12 Track and Underway Data

On every voyage of the Aurora Australis, approximately 50 onboard sensors collect data on average every 10 seconds.  These data are known as the underway datasets.  The type of data collected include water and air temperature, wind speeds, ship speed and location, humidity, fluorescence, salinity and so on.  For the full list of available data types, see the website.
These data are broadcast "live" (every 30 minutes) back to Australia and are available via the Australian Oceanographic Data Centre's portal (see the provided link).  Once the ship returns to port, the data are then transferred to Australian Antarctic Division servers where they are then made available via the Marine Science Data Search system (see the provided URL).
This dataset contains the underway data collected during Voyage 2 of the Aurora Australis Voyage in the 2011/12 season.
Purpose of voyage: Casey resupply
Leader: Ms. Sharon Labudda
Deputy Leader: Dr. Fred Olivier
VM Trainee: Ms. Jill Hughes
Underway (meteorological) data are available online via the Australian Antarctic Division Data Centre web page (or via the Related URL section).

Snowpit measurements made from ice stations during the SIPEX II voyage of the Aurora Australis, 2012

Note - these data should be used with caution.  The chief investigator for the dataset has indicated that a better quality dataset exists, but the AADC have been unable to attain it for archive.
In addition to snow pits dug by other groups, several snow pits were dug at IMB/AWS deployment sites and at snow mast sites.  Dates, locations, personnel, and purpose are listed in Table 1. 
Many of the data files include the raw weight measurements including the mass of the snow density shovel along with the snow.  This needs to be corrected using the snow density shovel weight appropriate to each pit.

Aurora Australis Voyage 2 (ICE) 1990-91 Underway Data

This dataset contains the underway data from Voyage 2 1990-91 (ICE) of the Aurora Australis. Unfortunately, these data are corrupt and may not be able to be recovered. They are therefore not available online. This was a resupply voyage, but marine science data were logged as part of the sea trial to test the DLS. DLS data types were logged at 20-second intervals. The observations were taken between October and November 1990 en route from Hobart to Casey to Mawson to Davis and back to Hobart.

Animal Tracking at Heard Island 2003/2004 - ARGOS data

A major goal of a research expedition by the Australian Antarctic Division over the summer of (2003/04) in the Southern Ocean off Heard Island was to answer some of the questions needed to determine what level of exploitation of Southern Ocean fisheries is sustainable.  The use of novel equipment, cutting edge technology and some adept logistical co-ordination allowed the Aurora Australis, on the Southern Ocean, to catch the prey of the predators of Heard Island.
This work was accomplished by placing satellite trackers on animals at Heard Island, and then, using the ARGOS system, monitoring their activities in the Southern Ocean around the island.  The Aurora Australis assisted in the monitoring and tracking of the animals by searching the areas the animals were foraging for prey species.
The animals tracked in this experiment were:
Light-mantled sooty albatrosses
black-browed albatrosses
king penguins
macaroni penguins
Antarctic fur seals
The columns in this data file are:
individual_id - the identifier of the individual animal
species - the species name of that animal
pttid - the identifier of the PTT tracker deployed on that animal
deployment_longitude - the longitude at which the tracker was deployed
deployment_latitude - the latitude at which the tracker was deployed
observation_date - the date (ISO8601 format) of the position observation
year, month, day, time, time_zone - as per the observation_date, but in separate columns
locationclass - the ARGOS location class of the position (see http://www.argos-system.org/manual/3-location/34_location_classes.htm; value -3 corresponds to a "Z" class, value -2 to "B", value -1 to "A")
latitude - the latitude of the position observation
longitude - the longitude of the position observation

Assessment of the performance of diffusive gradients in thin-films for metal contaminant measurements in Antarctic marine waters

This study assessed the performance of diffusive gradients in thin-films (DGT) with a binding resin that used Chelex-100 (iminodiacetic acid functional groups) to measure cadmium, copper, nickel, lead, and zinc contaminants in Antarctic marine conditions. To do this, three sets of experiments were done: (I) the uptake of metals to DGT samplers was assessed over time when deployed to three metal mixtures of known concentrations (DGT performance page). This allowed for the determination of metal diffusion coefficients in Antarctic marine conditions and demonstrated when metal competition for binding sites were likely to occur. (II) the DGT were deployed in the presence of the microalga Phaeocystis antarctica at a concentration of 1000-3000 cells/mL to investigate how environmentally realistic concentrations of an Antarctic marine microalgae affect the uptake of metals (DGT uptake with algae page). Finally, the DGT-labile concentrations from part (II) were used in reference toxicity mixture models to predict toxicity to the microalgae so they could be compared to a previous study that investigated the toxicity of metal mixtures to Phaeocystis antarctica and Cryothecomonas armigera (DGT toxicity modelling page).

Progressive changes in coral reef communities with increasing ocean acidification

Data from the Upa Upasina CO2 seep benthic gradients manuscript. Here we established 37 monitoring sites along a gradient of increasing CO2, from ambient areas adjacent to the seep into areas of dense seeping activity. Carbon chemistry was charcterised at each station and a series of surveys were conducted to characterise the benthos. We conducted point intercept photosurveys of reef communities and collected algal samples for biomass estimates.
