Shear-wave velocities under the Transantarctic Mountains and Terror Rift from surface wave inversion
Rayleigh wave data between 20 and 120s period recorded in the western Ross Sea region of Antarctica are inverted using the waveform inversion technique described in Passier and Snieder [1995]. From the data we extract estimates of local S velocity structure beneath the Transantarctic Mountains and the Terror Rift. The shear wave velocities found are up to 6 % slower than the PREM model at betwe...
متن کاملMicrozooplankton herbivory in the Ross Sea, Antarctica
Microplankton abundances and phytoplankton mortality rates were determined at six stations during four cruises spanning three seasons in the Ross Sea polynya, Antarctica (early spring, Oct.}Nov. 1996; mid-late summer, Jan.}Feb. 1997; fall, Apr. 1997; mid-late spring, Nov.}Dec. 1997). Rates of microzooplankton herbivory were measured using a modi"ed dilution technique, as well as by examining th...
متن کاملExtraterrestrial spherules in glacial sediment from the Transantarctic Mountains, Antarctica: Structure, mineralogy, and chemical composition
Abstract-Silicate and glassy spherules of probably extraterrestrial origin have been discovered in glacial till from localities in the Beardmore glacier region, Tramantarctic Mountains, Antarctica. These spherules are similar in structure, appearance, and composition to spherules found in deepsea sediments and in Greenland. Most spherules have a shiny and smooth dark surface, while some show a ...
متن کاملPliocene Nothofagus Wood from the Transantarctic Mountains
Subfossil wood fragments up to 10 cm long and 2 cm in diameter recovered from a locality thought on the basis of diatom deposits to be upper Pliocene-lower Pleistocene (Oliver Bluffs, Sirius Formation, 85°1 O'S., between 1800 and 1900 m in the Transantarctic Mountains) were sectioned for identification. Degradation prevented observation of some wood features, but others were well preserved. All...
متن کاملAlbedo of summer snow on sea ice, Ross Sea, Antarctica
[1] Surface all-wave albedo and physical parameters (grain radius, mass density, surface temperature, and stratification) of an austral summer snow cover on sea ice were measured in the Ross Sea during January-February 1999. It was observed that (1) from north to south the snow surface temperature decreases, albedo increases, snow mass density decreases, snow composite grain radius decreases, a...
