B247M: Protist diversity and function in the dry valley...
The overall objectives of this project are to understand the metabolic versatility of single-celled eukaryotic microbial protist species residing in McMurdo Dry Valley lakes and link protist trophic strategy with specific abiotic drivers, e.g., temperatur ...
B 134 M: Ocean acidification: Integrated approaches to ...
Researchers plan to study the effects of ocean acidification on embryos and larvae of Antarctic sea urchins. They will raise sea-urchin larvae under high carbon dioxide conditions to mimic the high carbon dioxide, low pH ocean they expect in the future. R ...
B 395 M: High resolution genomic and proteomic analyses...
Participants will collect large volumes of seawater, first year sea ice, young sea ice, and frost flowers from an area offshore of McMurdo Station. Additionally, participants will collect pristine snow from a site between McMurdo and Taylor Glacier, and f ...
B 509 M: McMurdo LTER Geochemistry: Increased connectiv...
The McMurdo Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) projects will continue to investigate the McMurdo Dry Valleys as an end-member ecosystem and focus on the relative roles of legacy and extant processes on current biodiversity and ecosystem structure and fu ...
B 508 M: McMurdo LTER Landscape Ecology: Increased conn...
The McMurdo Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) projects will continue to investigate the McMurdo Dry Valleys as an end-member ecosystem and focus on the relative roles of legacy and extant processes on current biodiversity and ecosystem structure and fu ...
B 507 M: McMurdo LTER Soils: Increased connectivity in ...
The McMurdo Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) projects will continue to investigate the McMurdo Dry Valleys as an end-member ecosystem and focus on the relative roles of legacy and extant processes on current biodiversity and ecosystem structure and fu ...
B 506 M: McMurdo LTER Streams: Increased connectivity i...

B 504 M: McMurdo LTER Glaciers: Increased connectivity ...
The McMurdo Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) projects will continue to investigate the McMurdo Dry Valleys as an end-member ecosystem and focus on the relative roles of legacy and extant processes on current biodiversity and ecosystem structure and fu ...
K081: Antarctic Inland Aquatic Ecosystem
This programme takes a multi-disciplinary approach to assess the sensitivity of inland aquatic habitats to incremental and discontinuous change. This research will enable environmental management of Antarctic systems to proceed with knowledge of how thin ...
K025: Natural and simulated changes to biodiversity and...
We will conduct a detailed investigation of the microbial biodiversity and community dynamics within and between selected meltwater ponds near Bratina Island with a small number of comparable samples from the Dry Valleys, significantly expanding the knowl ...
K020: Terrestrial Biocomplexity: Understanding, valuing...
This research focuses on describing and interpreting biocomplexity of terrestrial ecosystems in Victoria Land, and utilizes the findings to construct a GIS/biodiversity model, linking biodiversity, landscape, and environmental factors in a form easily und ...
