Diatom distributions delineated by lipid, genomic and microscopic observations: the imprint of past summer sea ice extent
In 2014 the RVIB Nathaniel B. Palmer was used to undertake a US-led voyage focused on a geological and oceanographicsurvey of the George V and Sabrina coastlines with respect to the history of the East Antarctic glacial ice drainage basins(NBP14-02). During this voyage biological survey work was und...

In 2014 the RVIB Nathaniel B.

Preliminary results from all three applicationsare presented and considered across the sampling locations ranging from the permanently open ocean zone (POOZ) withno seasonal sea-ice cover, the near-shore summer sea ice zone (SIZ), where sea ice remains long into the summer meltseason, and the marginal ice zone (MIZ), located between the POOZ and the SIZ, and with a highly variable latitudinal sea iceedge throughout the season.
