B 247 M: Protist diversity and function in the dry vall...

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 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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
