Census of Antarctic Marine Life (CAML) Archive of Project Documentation - CAML_Project_Archive.Progress_Updates

The Census of Antarctic Marine Life (CAML) Project Archive is a collection of scanned documents, maps, videos, and other related material that comprise the organisation and management documentation associated with a major research project of international significance. CAML measured the distribution and abundance of life in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica so that future impacts of climate change and human activities can be better understood. CAML coordinated the largest-ever survey of the Southern Ocean with 18 voyages in Antarctic waters, and inventoried over 16,000 marine species with hundreds new to science, provided DNA barcodes for 1,500 species, and has so far produced more than 600 scientific publications. CAML is a key activity of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR); a subproject of the Census of Marine Life (CoML); and was a major initiative of the 2007-2009 International Polar Year (IPY).

Bathymetry/depth measurements made at Long Fjord, Vestfold Hills by drilling through sea ice

Water depth measurements were taken in Long Fjord during early winter in 2007.  The measurements were collected by Graham Cook, station leader at Davis Station in the Australian Antarctic Territory.  The measurements were made by dropping a weighted line off the back of a quad bike, after drilling a hole through the sea ice.  Measurements were made approximately every 100 metres.
The download file contains a csv spreadsheet which lists each waypoint, plus the corresponding water depth and any comments. The text file contains the waypoint information collected by the Garmin GPS unit.  Data in the text file are comma separated and are interpreted as follows:
WP,D,001 (waypoint) , -68.51341000,  78.06903000,(Latitude and Longitude) 05/25/2007, 10:25:35, (Date and time Downloaded to Computer) 24-MAY-07 11:40:42 (Date and time of reading).  Time is in local time.
Vegetation was found on the weight that we used when we first started at the seaward end of the Fjord and then again in shallow water between Brookes Hut and a small island 800 or 900 metres out from Brookes. The weight is quite smooth and does not pick up a lot.
The reference given below provides some further information about previously collected bathymetry data in Long Fjord. Furthermore, also see the metadata records:

BROKE-West microbial concentrations - Voyage 3 of the Aurora Australis 2005/2006

This data set contains concentrations of phytoplankton, protozoa, total bacteria and metabolically active bacteria assessed by flow cytometry on transects 12, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 of the BROKE-West survey of the Southern Ocean between January and March 2006.  Only total bacterial concentrations were assessed for transect 11.
  Between 4 and 12 depths were sampled for marine microbes and concentrations were assessed using FACScan flowcytometer.  Phytoplankton were identified and counted based on the autofluorescense of chlorophyll a when excited by the 488 nm laser of the FACScan.  Protozoa were identified and counted after staining with the acid vacuole stain Lysotracker Green.  Total bacteria were identified and counted using the cell permeant SYTO 13 nucleic stain.  Metabolically active bacteria were identified and counted after staining for intracellular esterases with the esterase stain 6CFDA.

Gas flux over sea ice and calcium carbonate concentration in sea ice from the SIPEX II voyage of the Aurora Australis

Gas Flux over Sea Ice
We observed amount of gas exchange between sea ice and atmosphere. At the ice station, semi-automated chambers developed in Japan, were used for measurement of air-sea ice CO2 flux. These chambers could be used to examine spatial variability and also temporal variability of gas flux over sea ice. Samples were also taken from the snow and ice in order to measure CH4 and  VOC, however these analyses will be conducted post-voyage. This metadata record will be updated in future to reflect the analysis.
The chambers are designed to be placed over a snow and sea ice. When the lid is closed, CO2 concentration was measured. The opening and closing functions of the chambers are automated and were set to a 30 minutes interval. CO2 concentration (as voltage) were recorded in the data logger (CR10X, Campbell Scientific Inc.) and downloaded after the experiments. Raw data are contained in the excel files. 
During the CO2 flux measurement, we collected the snow, sea ice, brine/slush and under-ice water. Snow and sea ice samples were melted after sampling in PVDF film bags (like Tedlar bags in order to avoid gas exchange with ambient air) in 4C temperature and treated for analysis. 
A chemical analysis for carbonate systems and VOC (water), salinity, nutrient, pigment and oxygen isotopic ratio samples will take place in Japan after the voyage for analysis. 
During the cruise, to examine ice growth processes, we made sea ice thin-section to classify the ice cores into granular ice, columnar ice or mixed granular and columnar ice (Eicken and Lange, 1989).
The CO2 data are contained in Excel spreadsheets. These use Japanese column headings.
Calcium Carbonate (CACO3.6H20) as Ikaite in Sea Ice and Snow
At each listed ice station we collected sea-ice cores using a Kovacs 9cm ice corer. Cores were sectioned into 10-20cm and melted at 4 degrees C, filtered and dried for later analysis of Calcium Carbonate in a home laboratory using an ICP, which produces text file outputs (included).
Also included is a spreadsheet listing the cores, and the calcium carbonate measurements.

Ocean acidification impacts primary and bacterial production in Antarctic coastal waters during austral summer

Three experiments were performed at Davis Station, East Antarctica, 77 degrees 58' E, 68 degrees 35' S to determine the effects of ocean acidification on natural assemblages of Antarctica marine microbes (bacteria, viruses, phytoplankton and protozoa). Incubation tanks (6 * 650 L minicosms) were filled on the 30/12/08, 20/01/09 and 09/02/09 with sea water that was filtered through 200 microns mesh to remove metazoan grazers. The pH of each tank was adjusted by adding calculated amounts of CO2 saturated sea water. Treatment concentrations were maintained daily and microbial communities incubated for up to 12 days. The three experiments spanned early-, mid- and late-summer, with CO2 treatments ranging from pre-industrial to post-2100.
The Excel spreadsheet contains 3 tabs:
Experiment 1 - Early Summer
Experiment 2 - Mid Summer
Experiment 3 - Late Summer
Within each tab there are measurements for:
pCO2, dissolved inorganic carbon, Pmax, alpha, Ek, chl a, gross primary production (14C), bacterial production (14C), cell-specific bacterial productivity, bacterial abundance, dissolved organic carbon, particulate organic carbon, heterotrophic nanoflagellates, nitrate+nitrite, phosphate, silicate, ammonium, net community production, respiration, gross primary production (O2), photosynthesis:respiration ratios. Units for each measurement supplied within.

Stable isotopes for POM and grazers (zooplankton) collected during the SIPEX and SIPEX II voyages

Zooplankton were collected during the winter-spring  transition during two cruises of the Aurora Australis: SIPEX in 2007 and SIPEX II in 2012. As part of the collections sea ice cores were collected to describe the ice habitat during the period of zooplankton collections. Ice cores were taken with a 20 cm diameter SIPRE corer and sectioned in the field with an ice core. Particulate organic matter (POM) and animals from the zooplankton (water column) and the sea ice cover (meiofauna) were processed for stable isotopes - delta 13 Carbon and delta 15 Nitrogen.
