Quality control toolbox for EM-APEX data (Electromagnetic Autonomous Profiling Explorer)

The EM-APEX quality control (QC) toolbox provides a framework to quality control CTD and velocity data and calibrate velocity data collected from Electromagnetic Autonomous Profiling Explorer (EM-APEX) floats. The toolbox is developed based on float data collected from multiple deployments in the Southern Ocean (2016, 2018, 2020) and southeast Indian Ocean (2013). The EM-APEX data collected from the Southern Ocean in 2018 and 2020 have been quality controlled using this toolbox and is available here. Detailed description of the data quality control procedures is provided in the document ‘EM-APEX QC manual.pdf’.

Analysis of Remotely Sensed Sea Ice Images Using an Expert System

From the abstract of some of the referenced papers: 
An expert system is being developed which will apply knowledge-based techniques to the automated interpretation of remotely sensed sea-ice images taken over East Antarctica by the NOAA series of meteorological satellites. It is capable of accepting satellite images, deriving characteristic features from them and then performing knowledge-based reasoning to identify regions of cloud, land, open water and various categories of sea-ice. 
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
This paper describes the system design of SPARTEX, a system developed to use information from remote sensing and geographic information systems linked to expert systems. It aims to automate the process of classifying information about the actual or potential use of part of the earth's surface.

Nitrate profiles in snow on sea-ice collected during SIPEX II

This dataset contains measurements of nitrate in snow on the sea-ice.  These vertical nitrate profiles were collected from snow pits that were dug at each ice station during the SIPEX II voyage in 2012.  The snow depths range from 25-55 cm and snow samples were collected in 5 to 10 cm intervals from the snow surface to the top of the sea-ice.  The snow was then melted and passed through a resin to collect the nitrate.  The nitrate was then eluted with a strong NaCl solution and kept in bottles that were frozen at -20 degrees C.  The samples were shipped frozen back to Seattle where they will be analysed using an ion chromatograph.   The ion chromatograph outputs the data as text files.  
At this stage, samples have been collected but not analysed so no data currently exists.

Blue Carbon Seascapes (BCS) - Node Mapping Project 1.2

Blue Carbon Seascapes (BCS) &ndash; Node Mapping project. Carbon accumulation rates across various marine habitats will be mapped and integrated with major organic carbon sources to create a comprehensive network of blue carbon nodes (sources and sinks). This will support a model of lateral flows of allochthonous blue carbon. Starting with existing habitat maps for the major marine plant groups that support blue carbon (mangroves, seagrasses, macroalgae) in these study regions, we will identify key spatial gaps, areas of high model uncertainty, or paucity in information (i.e., lacking remote sensing and in-field measurements). To fill these spatial gaps, we will conduct field-based assessments and targeted remote sensing. These surveys will include other key habitat types important for tropical marine biodiversity and productivity (e.g., coral reef and filter-feeder beds). Various mapping methods will be used to assess key predictors of benthic occurrence, create a georeferenced map of predicted habitats, and applied estimates of uncertainty.

Studies on the Behaviour and Reproduction of the Royal Penguin (Eudyptes chrysolophus schlegeli) - Macquarie Island 1967

This work was carried out by Graeme Smith between 1966 and 1970 as part of a PhD at the Australian National University.  The dataset contains information about penguins killed in 1967 as part of the work.  Also available for download is a copy of the thesis.
Taken from the introduction of the thesis:
Penguins are widely distributed in the Southern Hemisphere.  The distribution is circumpolar in the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic regions, and ranges north to the southern coasts of Africa, Australasia and South America, where the range extends northwards up the western coast, and across to the Galapagos Islands.  The Galapagos penguin is the most northern species, while the Emperor and the Adelie penguins are confined to the Antarctic.
Although most species of penguins are found in the warmer zones of the Southern Hemisphere, and in many cases close to inhabited coasts, comparatively little is known about their biology.  By contrast, the biology of the penguins of the remote sub-Antarctic islands and the Antarctic continent is well documented for a number of species.
This anomalous situation is probably a result of the great interest shown in the Antarctic regions following Cook's voyages (1768-71 and 1772-75), and the comparatively limited number of species found in these regions.
Also see the metadata record for work on Royal Penguins carried out at Macquarie Island between 1955 and 1969 - ID "RoyalPenguin1955-1969".

Aurora Australis Voyage 2 2015/16 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 2015/16 season.
Purpose of voyage: Casey Resupply
Leader: Mr. Andy Cianchi
Deputy Leader: Mr. Vic Doust
Underway (meteorological) data are available online via the Australian Antarctic Division Data Centre web page (or via the Related URL section).

Trace elements concentrations measured in sediment leachates from samples collected during the IN2017-V01 voyage of the RV Investigator

Sediment cores were collected from the East Antarctic margin, aboard the Australian Marine National Facility R/V Investigator, during the IN2017_V01 voyage from January 14th to March 5th 2017 (Armand et al., 2018). This marine geoscience expedition, named the “Sabrina Sea Floor Survey”, focused notably on studying the interactions of the Totten Glacier with the Southern Ocean through multiple glacial cycles. The cores were collected using a multi-corer (MC), were sliced every centimetre, wrapped up in plastic bags, and stored in the fridge. 
Back at the home laboratory (IMAS, UTAS, Hobart, Australia), sediment samples were dried in an oven at 40°C. Three hundred mg of dry sediment was then homogenised and vortexed for 10-sec with 12 mL of a reductive solution of 0.005M hydroxylamine hydrochloride (HH) / 1.5% Acetic Acid (AA) / 0.001M Na-EDTA / 0.033M NaOH, at pH 4 (Huang et al., 2021). The leach mixture was then centrifuged, and 6 mL of the supernatant solution was collected into a Teflon vial. This solution was taken to dryness, oxidized with 1 mL HNO3 + 100 µL H2O2, and redissolved in 4 mL of 7.5M HNO3. 
A 0.5 mL aliquot was separated from the 4 mL solution for trace metal analysis by Sector Field Inductively Coupled Mass Spectrometry (SF-ICP-MS, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bremen, Germany) at the Central Science Laboratory (UTAS, Hobart, Australia). Indium was added as internal standard (In, 100 ppb). 88Sr, 89Y, 95Mo, 107Ag, 109Ag, 111Cd, 133Cs, 137Ba, 146Nd, 169Tm, 171Yb, 185Re, 187Re, 205Tl, 208Pb, 232Th, 238U, 23Na, 24Mg, 27Al, 31P, 32S, 42Ca, 47Ti, 51V, 52Cr, 55Mn, 56Fe, 59Co, 60Ni, 63Cu and 66Zn were analysed using multiple spectral resolutions. Element quantification was performed via external calibration using multi-element calibration solutions (MISA suite, QCD Analysts, Spring Lake, NJ, USA). Raw intensities were blank and dilution corrected.

Photogrammetric video tracks of whale movements recorded during the 2019 ENRICH Voyage

During the 2019 ENRICH Voyage of the CSIRO vessel, RV Investigator, a digital photogrammetric video tracking system was used to collect precise surfacing locations during encounters with mainly Antarctic blue whales, but also some fin whales. The photogrammetric video tracking system is a modern digital video version based on the same operating principle as the that described by Leaper and Gordon 2001, and enables determination of the range and bearing to tracked objects relative to the ship.
Video tracking was conducted on 24 occasions for a total of 18 hours. Focal follows were aborted when it was no longer possible to follow the focal animal due to ice or when the presence of other animals meant it was no longer possible to be sure which was the focal animal.
