Help on the Results MapX
This window can be dragged by its header, and can be resized from the bottom right corner.
Clicking the Layers button - the blue square in the top left of the Results Map - will display a list of map layers you can add or remove
from the currently displayed map view.
The Results Map and the Results Table
- The Results Map displays the centroids of the geographic bounds of all the results returned by the search.
- Results that are displayed in the current map view will be highlighted in blue and brought to the top of the Results Table.
- As the map is panned or zoomed, the highlighted rows in the table will update.
- If you click on a centroid on the map, it will turn yellow and display a popup with details for that project/dataset - including a link to the landing page. The bounds for the project(s)/dataset(s) selected will be displayed in red. The selected result(s) will be highlighted in red and brought to the top of the table.
- The default table sorting order is: Selected, Visible, Date (descending), but this can be changed by clicking on column headers in the table.
- Selecting Show on Map for an individual row will both display the geographic bounds for that result on a mini map, and also display the bounds and highlight the centroid on the Results Map.
- Clicking the 'Show boundaries' checkbox at the top of the Results Map will display all the bounds for the filtered results.
Defining a search area on the Results Map
- If you click on the Rectangle or Polygon icons in the top right of the Results Map, you can define a search area which will be added to any other search criteria already selected.
- After you have drawn a polygon, you can edit it using the Edit Geometry dropdown in the search form at the top.
- Clicking Clear in the map will clear any drawn polygon.
- Clicking Search in the map, or Search on the form will have the same effect.
- The returned results will be any projects/datasets with bounds that intersect the polygon.
- Use the Exclude project/datasets checkbox to exclude any projects/datasets that cover the whole Antarctic region.
Viewing map layers on the Results Map
To sort the table of search results, click the header of the column you wish to search by. To sort by multiple columns, hold down the shift key whilst selecting the sort columns in order.

An Integrated Geomagnetic and Petrologic Study of the Dufek Complex

Collaborative Research: An Integrated Geomagnetic and Petrologic Study of the Dufek Complex |
This project studies remnant magnetization in igneous rocks from the Dufek igneous complex, Antarctica. Its primary goal is to understand variations in the Earth's magnetic field during the Mesozoic Dipole Low (MDL), a period when the Earth's magnetic field underwent dramatic weakening and rapid reversals. This work will resolve the MDL's timing and nature, and assess connections between reversal rate, geomagnetic intensity and directional variability, and large-scale geodynamic processes. The project also includes petrologic studies to determine cooling rate effects on magnetic signatures, and understand assembly of the Dufek as an igneous body. Poorly studied, the Dufek is amongst the world's largest intrusions and its formation is connected to the break-up of Gondwana. The broader impacts of this project include graduate and undergraduate education and international collaboration with a German and Chilean IPY project. | ["POLYGON((-52.9943 -82.6146,-52.990539 -82.6146,-52.986778 -82.6146,-52.983017 -82.6146,-52.979256 -82.6146,-52.975495 -82.6146,-52.971734 -82.6146,-52.967973 -82.6146,-52.964212 -82.6146,-52.960451 -82.6146,-52.95669 -82.6146,-52.95669 -82.615118,-52.95669 -82.615636,-52.95669 -82.616154,-52.95669 -82.616672,-52.95669 -82.61719,-52.95669 -82.617708,-52.95669 -82.618226,-52.95669 -82.618744,-52.95669 -82.619262,-52.95669 -82.61978,-52.960451 -82.61978,-52.964212 -82.61978,-52.967973 -82.61978,-52.971734 -82.61978,-52.975495 -82.61978,-52.979256 -82.61978,-52.983017 -82.61978,-52.986778 -82.61978,-52.990539 -82.61978,-52.9943 -82.61978,-52.9943 -82.619262,-52.9943 -82.618744,-52.9943 -82.618226,-52.9943 -82.617708,-52.9943 -82.61719,-52.9943 -82.616672,-52.9943 -82.616154,-52.9943 -82.615636,-52.9943 -82.615118,-52.9943 -82.6146))"] | ["POINT(-52.975495 -82.61719)"] | false | false |
Triple-dating (Pb-FT-He) of Antarctic Detritus and the Origin of the Gamburtsev Mountains

Collaborative Research: SGER: Triple-dating (Pb-FT-He) of Antarctic Detritus and the Origin of the Gamburtsev Mountains |
This Small Grant for Exploratory Research investigates the origin and evolution of the Gamburtsev subglacial mountains (GSM). These mountains are considered the nucleation point for Antarctica's largest ice sheets; however, being of indeterminate age, they may postdate ice sheet formation. As well, their formation could reflect tectonic events during the breakup of Gondwana. The project studies GSM-derived detrital zircon and apatite crystals from Prydz Bay obtained by the Ocean Drilling Program. Analytical work includes triple-dating thermochronometry by U/Pb, fission track, and (U/Th)/He methods. The combined technique offers insight into both high and low temperature processes, and is potentially sensitive to both the orogenic events and the subsequent cooling and exhumation due to erosion. In terms of broader impacts, this project supports research for a postdoctoral fellow. | ["POLYGON((65 -66,72.9 -66,80.8 -66,88.7 -66,96.6 -66,104.5 -66,112.4 -66,120.3 -66,128.2 -66,136.1 -66,144 -66,144 -66.3,144 -66.6,144 -66.9,144 -67.2,144 -67.5,144 -67.8,144 -68.1,144 -68.4,144 -68.7,144 -69,136.1 -69,128.2 -69,120.3 -69,112.4 -69,104.5 -69,96.6 -69,88.7 -69,80.8 -69,72.9 -69,65 -69,65 -68.7,65 -68.4,65 -68.1,65 -67.8,65 -67.5,65 -67.2,65 -66.9,65 -66.6,65 -66.3,65 -66))"] | ["POINT(104.5 -67.5)"] | false | false |
