Modern grounding lines are derived from the MEaSUREs Version 2 Differential Satellite Radar Interferometry dataset with spatial resolutions of 25-120 m spanning February 1992 to December 2014 (Rignot et al., 2016; Mouginot et al., 2017). The boundaries of individual grounding lines representative of individual glacial catchments (n=664) were delineated by the inflection points of the shear strain rate, \u03b5xy (c.f Van der Veen et al., 2011). Sinuosity was calculated as the ratio of the true length, orthogonal to ice-flow direction, of the grounding lines and the straight line length between end-points and in units of km/km. Raster data were extracted at 1-km points along each grounding line; the mean was calculated for each grounding line and merged in a table with sinuosity data. A dataset of 6,275 paleo-grounding lines expressed as ice-marginal landforms on the deglaciated western Ross Sea continental shelf are used in this study, originally published by Simkins et al., 2018. The ice-marginal landforms were mapped from multibeam echo sounder data that was collected onboard the RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer (NBP) 15-02 cruise using a Kongsberg EM122 operating in dual swath mode at 12 kHz frequency with 30-60% swath overlap (Cruise DOI: 10.7284/901477). The resulting bathymetry data was gridded at 20-40 m with decimeter vertical elevation resolution depending on water depth and sea-state. Sinuosity is calculated as a ratio of true (mapped) landform length, measured in the across paleo-ice flow direction at the crest of the landform, to the straight line distance between the mapped landform endpoints and in units of km/km. \r\n\r\nTo compare modern and paleo-grounding lines, we use a consistent length scale by segmenting the grounding lines into 2-km sections for the two datasets (modern, n=12,966; paleo, n=5,832), even though this eliminates grounding lines that are less than 2-km long and thus results in 1 modern and 3,873 paleo-grounding lines removed. The full-length and 2-km segmented groundings lines are provided as shapefiles \"InSAR_groundinglines_full\" and \"InSAR_groundinglines_2km\", the paleo-grounding lines are provided as shapefiles \"RossSea_icemarginal_full\" and \"RossSea_icemarginal_2km\", and points marking modern grounding lines retreat from repeat InSAR surveys are provided as shapefile \"InSAR_retreat_points\", all stored together in a geodatabase named \"Antarctic_groundinglines.gbd\". Additional grounding line metrics, including length, sinuosity, bed roughness, and bed slope for modern and paleo-grounding lines, and height-above-buoyancy gradient, ice-flow velocity, presence of pinning points and ice shelves are provided for modern grounding lines. \r\n\r\nThe published dataset was compiled and analyzed in the article \"Controls on circum-Antarctic grounding-line sinuosity \" by Simkins, L.M., Stearns, L.A., and Riverman, K.L, which will be submitted to a peer-review journal in November 2021.\r\n\r\nReferences\r\nMouginot, J., B.

Evidence for Paleo Ice Stream Collapse in the Western Ross Sea since the Last Glacial Maximum. Collaborative Research: Topographic controls on Antarctic Ice Sheet grounding line retreat - integrating models and observations |
The dataset here allows exploration of the causes and significance of Antarctic grounding-line sinuosity by coupling observations of contemporary Antarctic grounding lines and paleo-grounding lines expressed as ice-marginal landforms on the Ross Sea continental shelf. Modern grounding lines are derived from the MEaSUREs Version 2 Differential Satellite Radar Interferometry dataset with spatial resolutions of 25-120 m spanning February 1992 to December 2014 (Rignot et al., 2016; Mouginot et al., 2017). The boundaries of individual grounding lines representative of individual glacial catchments (n=664) were delineated by the inflection points of the shear strain rate, εxy (c.f Van der Veen et al., 2011). Sinuosity was calculated as the ratio of the true length, orthogonal to ice-flow direction, of the grounding lines and the straight line length between end-points and in units of km/km. Raster data were extracted at 1-km points along each grounding line; the mean was calculated for each grounding line and merged in a table with sinuosity data. A dataset of 6,275 paleo-grounding lines expressed as ice-marginal landforms on the deglaciated western Ross Sea continental shelf are used in this study, originally published by Simkins et al., 2018. The ice-marginal landforms were mapped from multibeam echo sounder data that was collected onboard the RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer (NBP) 15-02 cruise using a Kongsberg EM122 operating in dual swath mode at 12 kHz frequency with 30-60% swath overlap (Cruise DOI: 10.7284/901477). The resulting bathymetry data was gridded at 20-40 m with decimeter vertical elevation resolution depending on water depth and sea-state. Sinuosity is calculated as a ratio of true (mapped) landform length, measured in the across paleo-ice flow direction at the crest of the landform, to the straight line distance between the mapped landform endpoints and in units of km/km. To compare modern and paleo-grounding lines, we use a consistent length scale by segmenting the grounding lines into 2-km sections for the two datasets (modern, n=12,966; paleo, n=5,832), even though this eliminates grounding lines that are less than 2-km long and thus results in 1 modern and 3,873 paleo-grounding lines removed. The full-length and 2-km segmented groundings lines are provided as shapefiles "InSAR_groundinglines_full" and "InSAR_groundinglines_2km", the paleo-grounding lines are provided as shapefiles "RossSea_icemarginal_full" and "RossSea_icemarginal_2km", and points marking modern grounding lines retreat from repeat InSAR surveys are provided as shapefile "InSAR_retreat_points", all stored together in a geodatabase named "Antarctic_groundinglines.gbd". Additional grounding line metrics, including length, sinuosity, bed roughness, and bed slope for modern and paleo-grounding lines, and height-above-buoyancy gradient, ice-flow velocity, presence of pinning points and ice shelves are provided for modern grounding lines. The published dataset was compiled and analyzed in the article "Controls on circum-Antarctic grounding-line sinuosity " by Simkins, L.M., Stearns, L.A., and Riverman, K.L, which will be submitted to a peer-review journal in November 2021.

Bathymetry from multibeam echo sounding data in Pennell Trough, Ross Sea, Antarctica was collected onboard the RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer (NBP) 15-02 cruise using a Kongsberg EM122 operating in dual swath mode at 12 kHz frequency with a 1°×1° beam width, swath angular coverage set to 62°×62°, and 30-60% overlap between survey lines. All raw, ping-edited geophysical data collected on NBP15-02 can be accessed using the Marine Geoscience Data System (Cruise DOI: 10.7284/901477). The bathymetry dataset here is gridded at 20-m resolution with a water depth-dependent vertical resolution on the order of decimeters. Two shapefiles are provided for ice-marginal landforms and meltwater landforms observable in the bathymetry data. The purpose of collecting the bathymetry data on cruise NBP15-02 was to better understand the glacial history of the Ross Sea, and the dataset, inclusive of bathymetry data and shapefiles of glacial landforms, from Pennell Trough are used to understand impacts on subglacial channel morphology and organization during the deglaciation of the region following the Last Glacial Maximum.

This data set focuses on ornithogenic soils excavated from a test pit located in an active colony of Pygoscelis spp. penguins on Platter Island in the Danger Islands archipelago along the northeastern side of the Antarctic Peninsula in December 2015. It contains radiocarbon dates of recovered penguin tissues and the estimated age of ornithogenic soils by depth. It also contains measurements of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) stable isotope values of Pygoscelis spp. penguins eggshell membrane and feather samples and Antarctic fur seal (Arctocephalus gazella) hair sample recovered from these ornithogenic soils. Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) was used to obtain radiocarbon dates at the Woods Hole National Ocean Sciences Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (NOSAMS) facility. Radiocarbon Dates were corrected for the marine carbon reservoir effect and calibrated to calendar years before present (cal years BP) using a ΔR of 750 ± 50 years and the MARINE13 calibration curve in Calib 7.04. The rbacon package ver. 2.3.9.1 in R was used to estimate age at depth of each soil level expressed as years relative to the common era (CE). Stable isotope analyses were conducted using an elemental analyzer coupled to a continuous flow stable isotope ratio mass spectrometer at Louisiana State University. The data set also includes associated data such as excavation date, location, site names, latitude/longitude, species, date of excavation, tissue used for radiocarbon dating, and carbon to nitrogen ratios.

Collaborative Research: Polynyas in Coastal Antarctica (PICA): Linking Physical Dynamics to Biological Variability |
The emperor penguin, an iconic species threatened by projected sea-ice loss in Antarctica, has long been considered to forage at the fast ice edge, presumably relying on large/yearly-persistent polynyas as their main foraging habitat during the breeding season. Using newly developed fine-scale sea-icescape data and historical penguin tracking data, this study for the first time suggests the importance of less-recognized small openings, including cracks, flaw leads and ephemeral short-term polynyas, as foraging habitats for emperor penguins. The tracking data retrieved from 47 emperor penguins in two different colonies in East Antarctica suggest that those penguins spent 23% of their time in ephemeral polynyas and did not use the large/yearly-persistent, well-studied polynyas, even they occur much more regularly with predictable locations. These findings challenge our previous understanding of emperor penguin breeding habitats, highlighting the need for incorporating fine-scale seascape features when assessing the population persistence in a rapidly changing polar environment. | ["POLYGON((55 -62,65 -62,75 -62,85 -62,95 -62,105 -62,115 -62,125 -62,135 -62,145 -62,155 -62,155 -62.8,155 -63.6,155 -64.4,155 -65.2,155 -66,155 -66.8,155 -67.6,155 -68.4,155 -69.2,155 -70,145 -70,135 -70,125 -70,115 -70,105 -70,95 -70,85 -70,75 -70,65 -70,55 -70,55 -69.2,55 -68.4,55 -67.6,55 -66.8,55 -66,55 -65.2,55 -64.4,55 -63.6,55 -62.8,55 -62))"] | ["POINT(105 -66)"] | false | false |

Development of Quantitative Weathering Indicators in Proximal Alluvial Sediments to Assess Glacial Activity in the Rock Record |
The proposed research seeks to test the hypothesis that chemical and physical weathering in proximal alluvial systems will show systematic and measurable variations between glacial and nonglacial systems. To accomplish this, the investigation will attempt to quantify the natural variation of chemical and physical weathering in granitoid-sourced proximal alluvial sediments in end-member glacial and nonglacial systems, when other, 'non-climatic' factors (e.g. provenance, drainage basin area and relief, sample grain size, sediment facies) are controlled. If chemical weathering in the proposed hot-humid, hot-arid, hot semi-arid nonglacial systems and the cool-wet, cold semi-arid, and cold-arid glacial systems show systematic variations, then chemical indices may be used to help differentiate paleoclimatic conditions. Continued reliance on students provides a broader impact of this proposed research and firmly grounds this effort in its educational mission. | ["POLYGON((-163.12865 -77.41693,-163.06062 -77.41693,-162.99259 -77.41693,-162.92456 -77.41693,-162.85653 -77.41693,-162.7885 -77.41693,-162.72047 -77.41693,-162.65244 -77.41693,-162.58441 -77.41693,-162.51638 -77.41693,-162.44835 -77.41693,-162.44835 -77.445495,-162.44835 -77.47406,-162.44835 -77.502625,-162.44835 -77.53119,-162.44835 -77.559755,-162.44835 -77.58832,-162.44835 -77.616885,-162.44835 -77.64545,-162.44835 -77.674015,-162.44835 -77.70258,-162.51638 -77.70258,-162.58441 -77.70258,-162.65244 -77.70258,-162.72047 -77.70258,-162.7885 -77.70258,-162.85653 -77.70258,-162.92456 -77.70258,-162.99259 -77.70258,-163.06062 -77.70258,-163.12865 -77.70258,-163.12865 -77.674015,-163.12865 -77.64545,-163.12865 -77.616885,-163.12865 -77.58832,-163.12865 -77.559755,-163.12865 -77.53119,-163.12865 -77.502625,-163.12865 -77.47406,-163.12865 -77.445495,-163.12865 -77.41693))"] | ["POINT(-162.7885 -77.559755)"] | false | false |

Collaborative Research: Integrating Geomorphological and Paleoecological Studies to Reconstruct Neogene Environments of the Transantarctic Mountains |
This project studies the last vestiges of life in Antarctica from exceptionally well-preserved fossils of tundra life--mosses, diatoms, ostracods, Nothofagus leaves, wood, and insect remains recently discovered in ancient lake sediments from the McMurdo Dry Valleys. The area will be studied by an interdisciplinary team to elucidate information about climate and biogeography. These deposits offer unique and direct information about the characteristics of Antarctica during a key period in its history, the time when it was freezing. This information is critical for correlation with indirect proxies, such as though obtained from drill cores, for climate and state of the ice sheet. The results will also help understand the origin and migration of similar organisms found in South America, India and Australia. In terms of broader impacts, this project supports an early career researcher, undergraduate and graduate student research, various forms of outreach to K12 students, and extensive international collaboration. The work also has societal relevance in that the outcomes will offer direct constraints on Antarctica's ice sheet during a time with atmospheric CO2 contents similar to those of the earth in the coming centuries, and thus may help predictive models of sea level rise. | ["POLYGON((160 -77,160.2 -77,160.4 -77,160.6 -77,160.8 -77,161 -77,161.2 -77,161.4 -77,161.6 -77,161.8 -77,162 -77,162 -77.1,162 -77.2,162 -77.3,162 -77.4,162 -77.5,162 -77.6,162 -77.7,162 -77.8,162 -77.9,162 -78,161.8 -78,161.6 -78,161.4 -78,161.2 -78,161 -78,160.8 -78,160.6 -78,160.4 -78,160.2 -78,160 -78,160 -77.9,160 -77.8,160 -77.7,160 -77.6,160 -77.5,160 -77.4,160 -77.3,160 -77.2,160 -77.1,160 -77))"] | ["POINT(161 -77.5)"] | false | false |
Upper Mantle Shear Velocity Model
|
None | 2006-06-15 | Ritzwoller, Michael | No project link provided | CUB shear velocity model is created from a large data set of the surface wave fundamental model phase and group velocity measurements. Phase velocities in period range between 40 an 150 s are generously donated by Harvard University and Utrecht University. These phase velocity data sets are described by Ekström et al. (1997) and Trampert and Woodhouse (1995). The group velocity measurements at periods between 16 and 200s are performed at the Center for Imaging the Earth's Interior in the University of Colorado at Boulder. The group velocities are measured with the frequency-time analysis (Levshin et al., 1989) in which for every waveform a human analyst defines the frequency range of measurements and separate the signal form a variety of noise sources (e.g., overtones, fundamental modes of different types, other earthquakes, multipaths, scattered arrivals). We used broadband waveforms following earthquakes occurred from 1997 to present and recorded at stations from both global networks (GDSN, GSN, GEOSCOPE) as well as temporary regional arrays. At present, the group velocity dataset is composed of about 200000 paths. Data coverage is generally better for Rayleigh waves than for Love waves, is better at intermediate periods than at very short or very long periods, and is better in the northern than in the southern hemisphere. This heterogeneous data coverage is imposed by the distribution of seismic stations and earthquakes. Data coverage optimizes in Eurasia and is currently worst across Africa, the central Pacific, parts of the Indian Ocean, and Antarctica. | [] | [] | false | false |
