Antarktis-bibliografi er en database over den norske Antarktis-litteraturen.

Hensikten med bibliografien er å synliggjøre norsk antarktisforskning og annen virksomhet/historie i det ekstreme sør. Bibliografien er ikke komplett, spesielt ikke for nyere forskning, men den blir oppdatert.

Norsk er her definert som minst én norsk forfatter, publikasjonssted Norge eller publikasjon som har utspring i norsk forskningsprosjekt.

Antarktis er her definert som alt sør for 60 grader. I tillegg har vi tatt med Bouvetøya.

Det er ingen avgrensing på språk (men det meste av innholdet er på norsk eller engelsk). Eldre norske antarktispublikasjoner (den eldste er fra 1894) er dominert av kvalfangst og ekspedisjoner. I nyere tid er det den internasjonale polarforskninga som dominerer. Bibliografien er tverrfaglig; den dekker både naturvitenskapene, politikk, historie osv. Skjønnlitteratur er også inkludert, men ikke avisartikler eller upublisert materiale.

Til høyre finner du en «HELP-knapp» for informasjon om søkemulighetene i databasen. Mange referanser har lett synlige lenker til fulltekstversjon av det aktuelle dokumentet. For de fleste tidsskriftartiklene er det også lagt inn sammendrag.

Bibliografien er produsert ved Norsk Polarinstitutts bibliotek.

  • AbstractOur study of a banded charnockite complex of the Mühlig-Hofmannfjella in Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica, illustrates how the combination of high-temperature (re-)crystallization processes, melts, and volatile fluids leads to complex intrusive, metasomatic, and structural relationships. The igneous complex consists of gently dipping sets of charnockite interlayered with dolerite and leucogranite. The banded complex formed primarily by magmatic processes, but with superimposed modifications by metasomatism. The charnockite has a ferroan composition and contains both orthopyroxene (Fs80?84) and olivine (Fa94?96). Zircon U-Pb dates the emplacement of charnockite at 515 Ma, and inherited zircon cores and negative εNd values of ?3 to ?5 indicate that the age of the source of the magma was about 1100 Ma. Neodymium isotopes were not homogenized during the Cambrian magmatic event, which suggests that the generation and emplacement of the magma took place in separate batches during construction of the banded complex. By contrast, the Rb-Sr system in the charnockite was extensively homogenized, likely because of the superimposed late-magmatic fluid activity, which also produced the bands and networks of leucogranites. These events occurred during the late stages of the assembly of Gondwana, with postcollisional extension and mantle upwelling maintaining a high heat flow.

  • Fluid infiltration into Proterozoic and Early Palaeozoic dry, orthopyroxene-bearing granitoids and gneisses in Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica, has caused changes to rock appearance, mineralogy, and rock chemistry. The main mineralogical changes are the replacement of orthopyroxene by hornblende and biotite, ilmenite by titanite, and various changes in feldspar structure and composition. Geochemically, these processes resulted in general gains of Si, mostly of Al, and marginally of K and Na but losses of Fe, Mg, Ti, Ca, and P. The isotopic oxygen composition (δ18OSMOW = 6.0‰–9.9‰) is in accordance with that of the magmatic precursor, both for the host rock and infiltrating fluid. U-Pb isotopes in zircon of the altered and unaltered syenite to quartz-monzonite indicate a primary crystallization age of 520.2 ± 1.0 Ma, while titanite defines alteration at 485.5 ± 1.4 Ma. Two sets of gneiss samples yield a Rb-Sr age of 517 ± 6 Ma and a Sm-Nd age of 536 ± 23 Ma. The initial Sr and Nd isotopic ratios suggest derivation of the gneisses from a relatively juvenile source but with a very strong metasomatic effect that introduced radiogenic Sr into the system. The granitoid data indicate instead a derivation from Mid-Proterozoic crust, probably with additions of mantle components.

  • The bedrock of Mühlig-Hofmannfjella, central Dronning Maud Land in eastern Antarctica, is part of the high-grade Maud Belt and comprises a deep-seated metamorphic-plutonic complex. The P-T-t evolution of anatectic supracrustal gneisses has been recovered through a study of mineral assemblages, textural relationships and U-Pb ID TIMS geochronology on zircon and monazite followed by pseudosection modelling. Peak conditions reached granulite facies conditions (T ≥ 810–820 °C) at moderate crustal depths (P = ca. 8 kbar) and resulted in partial melting. Peak-pressure conditions were followed by isothermal decompression at elevated temperatures. After exhumation to crustal levels of about 4–5 kbar, the area underwent a final near-isobaric cooling, which is documented by a secondary growth of garnet. Zircons indicate a period of growth at 570–566 Ma, whereas monazite ages range from 610 to 525 Ma. A likely heat source for the granulite facies metamorphism is decay of radioactive heat-producing elements in the core of the orogen. The combined geochronology and metamorphic data indicate a prolonged, clockwise P-T path, which reflects collision and formation of a long-lived orogenic plateau.
