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.

The central sector of Mühlig-Hofmannfjellet (3°E/71°S) in western Dronning Maud Land (East Antarctic shield) is dominated by large intrusive bodies of predominantly orthopyroxene-bearing quartz syenites (charnockites). Metasedimentary rocks are rare; however, two distinct areas with banded gneiss–marble–quartzite sequences of sedimentary origin were found during the Norwegian Antarctic Research Expedition NARE 1989/90. Cordierite-bearing metapelitic gneisses from two different localities contain the characteristic mineral assemblage: cordierite + garnet + biotite + K-feldspar + plagioclase + quartz ± sillimanite ± spinel. Thermobarometry indicates equilibration conditions of about 650°C and 4 kbar. Associated orthopyroxene–garnet granulites, on the other hand, revealed pressures of about 8 kbar and temperatures of 750°C. The earlier granulite facies metamorphism is not well preserved in the cordierite gneisses as a result of excess K-feldspar combined with interaction with an H2O-rich fluid phase, probably released by the cooling intrusives. These two features allowed the original high-grade K-feldspar + garnet assemblages to recrystallize as cordierite–biotite–sillimanite gneisses, completely re-equilibrating them. Phase relationships indicate that the younger metamorphic event occurred in the presence of a fluid phase that varied in composition between the lithologies.

As a part of the Norwegian Antarctic Research Expedition 1984/85, geological mapping was performed in Gjelsvikfjella and western Muhlig-Hofmannfjella, Dronning Maud Land. The northern part of Gjelsvikfjella is dominated by the Jutulsessen metasupracrustals which have been intruded by a major gabbroic body and several generations of dykes. To the south the metasupracrustals gradually transform into the Risemedet migmatites. In western Muhlig-Hofmannfjella the bedrock is dominated by the large Svarthamaren Charnockite batholith. The batholith is bordered by the Snotoa metamorphic complex outcropping to the south and west in Muhlig-Hofmannfjella and it is characterized by a high content of partly assimilated country rock inclusions. Mineral paragenesis and geothermometry/geobarometry suggest a two-stage tectonothermal-igneous history with an initial intermediate pressure, upper amphibolite to granulite facies metamorphism followed by high temperature transformations related to the charnockite intrusion. The age of the initial tectonothermal event is probably about 1,100 Ma. Geochronological work in the present study (Rb/Sr whole rock) gave an age of 500 +/- 24 Ma for the Svarthamaren Charnockite, interpreted to record the age of crystallization. Late brittle faulting and undeformed dolerite dykes outcropping in Jutulsessen are believed to be related to Mesozoic crustal stretching in the Jutulstraumen-Pencksokket Rift Zone to the west.

Sedimentary and magmatic rocks of Late Proterozoic to Late Paleozoic age, from the southern half of Ellsworth Mountains are described. Basic volcanic rocks, mainly agglomeratic, occur abundantly in the lower part of the succession, in the Minaret Group, and in the lower part of the Heritage Group, but are not recorded in the upper part of the Heritage Group. Due to this lithostratigraphic contrast a new classification is proposed: the Heritage Group including the Middle Horseshoe Formation and the Edson Hills Formation. A stratigraphic gap is evident above the Edson Hills Formation and a separate unit--the Dunbar Ridge Formation--is proposed. This formation is of Middle-Upper Cambrian age, with trilobite-bearing limestones. The structure is governed by a major anticline with a NW plunge in the north but almost horizontal in the south. Contrast of fold intensity and fold style below the youngest exposed unit, the Whiteout Conglomerate and a weathered surface above the Crashite Quartzite suggests a late Paleozoic deformation phase. Two phases of magmatism are distinguished. The pre-Middle Cambrian magmatism is dominantly K-alkalic and suggests the beginning of block subsidence at the early stage of a rift tectonics on a continental crust. The presumptive Late Paleozoic magmatism is N-alkalic and tholeiitic, and occurred after the main deformation; however the rocks were regionally metamorphosed in the actinolite-greenschist facies probably in late Paleozoic time. This magmatism is considered to represent an advanced stage of block tectonics. (Auth. mod.)

During the Norwegian Antarctic Research Expedition 1989/90, a pennanent, unmanned research station was raised in Jutulsessen, Gjelsvikfjella, western Dronning Maud Land. The present report is a description of the geology of the area accessable from the station. Exposures of rocks in this part of Dronning Maud Land are restricted to a coastal mountain chain at c. 200-250 km distance from the ice shelf edge at elevations between 1000 and 3000 m. Quaternary deposits are particularly restricted to the inner parts of the Jutulsessen glaeier cirques. Deposits are till and talus which locally are admixing at slope angles of c. 25°. Moraines are poorly developed. Patterned ground ('stone pits') are common at slope angles below c. 15°. Recently active phenomena of special interest are ice-margin meltwater lakes with pingo-like 'blisters " the deep frost-shattering all over the mountain walls and hoIes in rock surfaces as a result of wind activity with grinding particles. The bedrock belongs to the East Antarctic craton. The area under consideration (western Miihlig-Hofmannfjella and Gjelsvikfjella) consists of high-grade metamorphic rocks and fonns one of the world's best exposed granulite terranes. Orthogneisses and minor metasediments have been intruded by a series of charnockites, partly altered to granulites (the 'Svarthamaren charnockite complex'), and a sequence of dyke rocks. Migmatization has affected large parts of the gneisses. Both gneisses and granulites/charnockites show abundant evidence of transition from granulite to amphibolite facies and vice versa, and the important role of fluid-rock interactions leading to these processes can be studied. The gneisses at Jutulsessen show a complex defonnation history. They are thought to be derived from granitic intrusions, though minor amounts of high-grade metamorphic, metapelitic gneisses may represent their original host rocks. Early tectonism (c. 1000-1200 m.y.) produced gneissosity, compositional banding and a leucosome phase under high-grade metamorphic conditions. This was followed by multiple and complex intrusive activity, partial migmatization and a tectonic overprint with abundant shear defonnation under amphibolite-facies conditions (c. 450-500 m.y.).
