Sea ice primary production off eastern Antarctica
Sea ice covers up to 20 million km2 of the Southern Ocean. When present it supports a vigorous ecosystem that provides energy and food for all other marine organisms. Using the... -
Latitudinal Gradient Project - Australian contributions
This record relates to the Australian component of the Latitudinal Gradient Project. The LGP is largely a New Zealand, US and Italian venture, but a small contribution has been... -
The fate of primary production in Antarctic sea ice: the role of metazoan grazers.
Crustaceans are an important component of the Antarctic marine ecosystem. Large numbers live in or close to the sea-ice cover, using it as a refuge from predation and a source... -
Environmental data layers for a 5 year period before and after the calving...
The dataset contains raster files (.grd) for food-availability and predicted distribution of suspension feeder abundances averaged across a five year time-period before... -
Effect of Global Change on the Primary Production of Antarctic coastal Ecosystems
Metadata record for data from ASAC Project 2518 See the link below for public details on this project. Global climate change will lead to a reduction in the duration and... -
Environmental determinants of fecundity and pup growth in fur seals
This indicator is no longer maintained, and is considered OBSOLETE. INDICATOR DEFINITION The fecundity (pupping rates) of female fur seals and the growth rates of their pups... -
Sea ice data - Bio-optics and physics measurements from Scott Base and...
As part of Australian Antarctic Science project # 4298 and Antarctica New Zealand project K131A, a total number of 24 sea ice sites were sampled for bio-optical measurements... -
Gross Primary Production data collected from the K-Axis voyage of the Aurora...
Gross Primary Production Six depths were sampled per CTD station ranging from near-surface to 125 m. Sample depths were based on downward fluorescence profiles and two of six... -
Ocean acidification impacts primary and bacterial production in Antarctic...
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... -
Primary productivity, pulse amplitude modulated fluorometry and nutrient...
This data set contains primary productivity, pulse amplitude modulated fluorometry, and nutrient drawdown numbers associated with the abstract presented below. 14C Primary... -

Primary Production in the Sub-Antarctic and Polar Frontal Zones; SAZ-Sense...
The Sub-Antarctic Zone (SAZ) in the Southern Ocean provides a significant sink for atmospheric CO2 and quantification of this sink is therefore important in models of climate... -
Cold adaptation and functionality of the Antarctic Coastal Benthic Zones
Antarctic sediments and sea-ice are important regulators in global biogeochemical and atmospheric cycles. These ecosystems contain a diverse range of bacteria whose... -
