  • the macrophytobenthos of terra nova bay ross sea antarctica results of three italian Scientific Expeditions
    Plant Biosystems, 1995
    Co-Authors: M Cormaci
    Abstract:

    Abstract The results of a study on the benthic macroalgal flora and vegetation of Terra Nova Bay (Ross Sea) carried out during the Italian Expeditions to Antarctica made in the years 1987/88, 1989/90 and 1993/94, are presented. The flora is rather poor (9 Rhodophyceae, 4 Fucophyceae, 4 Chlorophyceae), but richer than that known from adjacent areas. The vegetation is on the whole characterized by a prevalence of sciaphilous species among which Iridaea cordata, Phyllophora antarctica and Clathromorphum lemoineanum dominating in the upper infralittoral, lower infralittoral and circalittoral zones, respectively. Moreover, the results of a study on biomass of a population of I. cordata as well as of a population of P. antarctica, carried out in the austral summer 1993/94, are reported too. The values of the biomass of the population of I. cordata resulted to vary inversely with respect to those of the population of P. antarctica.

  • indian Scientific Expeditions to the southern ocean comprehensive surveys to understand atmospheric physical and biogeochemical processes
    Deep-sea Research Part Ii-topical Studies in Oceanography, 2020
    Co-Authors: Anilkumar Narayana Pillai, Ravichandran Muthalagu, Babula Jena
    Abstract:

    ABSTRACT Indian Scientific Expeditions to the Southern Ocean (ISESO) have been implemented since 2004 to explore the unknown areas of the Indian Sector of the SO (ISSO) with the National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research (NCPOR) as the nodal center for the Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government of India. The studies conducted in these Expeditions have prime importance to understand the role of the SO on regional and global climatic variability. Surveys have been designed to explore the interconnections between physical, chemical and biological components across the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC). Further aims are to understand the ocean-ice-atmosphere interaction, aerosols, other trace gases, thermohaline variations, carbon sequestration and biogeochemical processes. Valuable sediment cores have also been recovered in some critical locations for the reconstruction of the paleo-environmental conditions for selected time slices during the last glacial-interglacial cycles. This special issue presents multidisciplinary data collected during ISESO from 2010 to 2018 that shed light on the present understanding of one of the sparsely explored regions in the SO.

    Abstract:

    Here we present distributional records for Tanaidacea specimens collected during several Antarctic Expeditions to the Ross Sea: the Italian PNRA Expeditions (“V”, 1989/1990; “XI”, 1995/1996; “XIV”, 1998/1999; “XIX”, 2003/2004; “XXV”, 2009/2010) and the New Zealand historical (New Zealand Oceanographic Institute, NZOI, 1958-1961) and recent (“TAN0402 BIOROSS” voyage, 2004 and “TAN0802 IPY-CAML Oceans Survey 20/20” voyage, 2008) Expeditions. Tanaidaceans were obtained from bottom samples collected at depths ranging from 16 to 3543 m by using a variety of sampling gears.

The Ross Sea Endeavour surveys (1958-59 and 1959-60, HMNZS “Endeavour II” and 1960–1961, “Endeavour III”) conducted by the New Zealand Oceanographic Institute (NZOI, now NIWA) – founded by the New Zealand government. New Zealand BIOROSS voyage (TAN0402, 2004, R/V “Tangaroa”) – funded by NIWA and the New Zealand Ministry of Primary Industries (formerly the Ministry of Fisheries).

We would like to acknowledge the Italian National Antarctic Program (PNRA) for funding and logistic support of the Scientific Expeditions.

  • the origins of oceanography in france the Scientific Expeditions of travailleur and talisman 1880 1883
    Oceanography, 2020
    Co-Authors: John Dolan
    Abstract:

    This article describes the earliest French oceanographic Expeditions dedicated to investigating the deep sea. Though these Expeditions, conducted from 1880 to 1883, were quite successful in terms of both science and what today we call “outreach,” they are often overlooked in histories of oceanography or mentioned only in passing. They produced a substantial literature of over 100 Scientific publications. Participants’ descriptions of 176 new species are still considered valid today. Among the remarkable Scientific discoveries were culturable and pressure-tolerant bacteria in deep-sea sediment samples, which led to the origin of deep-sea microbiology, and iconic deep-sea fish such as the gulper eel. Specimens, instruments, and equipment from these Expeditions were on display for the general public at an exhibition at the National Museum of Natural History in Paris in early 1884. Between 1885 and 1891, expedition scientists authored three mass-market books on deep-sea life and the Expeditions. Following a summary of the Expeditions and their results, some speculation is provided as to why such an auspicious nineteenth century beginning of oceanography in France did not lead to a sustained interest in oceanography. A supplementary file contains a bibliography of expedition publications and a list of the species described from expedition collections.
