Collaborative Research: Historic Perspectives On Climate And Biogeography From Deep-Sea Corals In The Drake Passage, Rhian G. Waller
Collaborative Research: Historic Perspectives On Climate And Biogeography From Deep-Sea Corals In The Drake Passage, Rhian G. Waller
University of Maine Office of Research Administration: Grant Reports
Polar oceans are the main sites of deep-water formation and are critical to the exchange of heat and carbon between the deep ocean and the atmosphere. This award "Historic perspectives on climate and biogeography from deep-sea corals in the Drake Passage" will address the following specific research questions: What was the radiocarbon content of the Southern Ocean during the last glacial maximum and during past rapid climate change events? and What are the major controls on the past and present distribution of cold-water corals within the Drake Passage and adjacent continental shelves? Testing these overall questions will allow the researchers …

Poc Production And Export In The Indian Ocean Sector Of The Southern Ocean: A Us-China Collaborative Research Program, Cynthia H. Pilskaln, Fei Chai
University of Maine Office of Research Administration: Grant Reports
This proposed work is a study of the biological production and export flux of biogenic matter in response to ventilation of intermediate and deep water masses within the Polar Front zone. It is a collaborative work between the University of Maine and the Chinese Antarctic Research Expedition (CHINARE). The shipboard work is proposed for the Chinese antarctic resupply vessel off Prydz Bay in the Indian Ocean sector. In the austral Spring, this region experiences phytoplankton blooms that are thought to be the result of nutrient transport by the ventilation of intermediate and deep water masses. On an annual basis, it …
