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.

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.

Nitrate in snow is subject to post-depositional processing, which leads to a net loss and redistribution within the snowpack. The relative importance of post-depositional loss processes such as the volatilization of nitric acid (HNO3) and photolysis of nitrate has long been debated. Changes in nitrate and chloride concentrations in the snowpack were investigated at H128 (69°23.584’S, 41°33.712’E), an Antarctic coastal site approximately 100 km from Syowa Station in East Antarctica from December 2015 to February 2016. Results indicate that chloride migrated to deeper sites within the snowpack under the influence of water vapour movement. Moreover, 50% of the nitrate on surface snow was lost to photolysis, and approximately 20% of the nitrate was absent at a depth of 40 cm. To enhance our knowledge of the Antarctic geochemical cycle, this study is the first to suggest chloride ion movement in snowpacks or significant nitrate loss for any Antarctic coastal site.

Winter to summer CO2 dynamics within landfast sea ice in McMurdo Sound (Antarctica) were investigated using bulk ice pCO2 measurements, air-snow-ice CO2 fluxes, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), total alkalinity (TA), and ikaite saturation state. Our results suggest depth-dependent biotic and abiotic controls that led us to discriminate the ice column in three layers. At the surface, winter pCO2 supersaturation drove CO2 release to the atmosphere while spring-summer pCO2 undersaturation led to CO2 uptake most of the time. CO2 fluxes showed a diel pattern superimposed upon this seasonal pattern which was potentially assigned to either ice skin freeze-thaw cycles or diel changes in net community production. In the ice interior, the pCO2 decrease across the season was driven by physical processes, mainly independent of the autotrophic and heterotrophic phases. Bottom sea ice was characterized by a massive biomass build-up counterintuitively associated with transient heterotrophic activity and nitrate plus nitrite accumulation. This inconsistency is likely related to the formation of a biofilm. This biofilm hosts both autotrophic and heterotrophic activities at the bottom of the ice during spring and may promote calcium carbonate precipitation.

Dronning Maud Land (DML) is a key area for the better understanding of the geotectonic history and amalgamation processes of the southern part of Gondwana. Here, we present comprehensive new zircon U–Pb–Hf–O, whole-rock Sm–Nd isotopic and geochemical data for late Neoproterozoic-Cambrian igneous rocks along a profile from central to eastern DML, which provides new insights into the crustal evolution and tectonics of the region. In central DML, magmatism dominantly occurred at 530–485 Ma, with 650–600 Ma charnockite and anorthosite locally distributed at its eastern periphery. In contrast, eastern DML experienced long-term and continuous granitic magmatism from ca. 650 Ma to 500 Ma. In central DML, the 650–600 Ma samples are characterized by highly elevated δ18O (7.5–9.5‰) associated with slightly negative to positive εHf(t) values (−1 to +3), indicating significant addition of high-δ18O crustal components, such as sedimentary material at the margin of the Kalahari Craton. Evolved Hf isotopic signatures (εHf(t) = −15 to −6) and moderately elevated O isotopic data (δ18O = 6–8‰) of the Cambrian granitic rocks from central DML indicate a significant incorporation of the pre-existing, old continental crust. In eastern DML, the suprachondritic Hf–Nd isotope signatures and moderate δ18O values of the late Neoproterozoic granites (650–550 Ma) from the Sør Rondane Mountains support the view that they mainly originated from crust of the Tonian Oceanic Arc Super Terrane (TOAST). The post-540 Ma granites, however, have more evolved Hf and Nd isotopic compositions, suggesting an increasing involvement of older continental components during Cambrian magmatism. Nd isotopes of the Cambrian granitic rocks in DML display an increasingly more radiogenic composition towards the east with model ages ranging from late Archean to Mesoproterozoic times, which is in line with the isotopic trend of the Precambrian basement in this region. The late Neoproterozoic (>600 Ma) igneous rocks in central and eastern DML were emplaced in two independent subduction systems, at the periphery of the eastern Kalahari Craton and somewhere within the Mozambique Ocean respectively. The accretion and assembly of the TOAST to the eastern margin of the Kalahari Craton and their collision with surrounding continental blocks was followed by extensive post-collisional magmatism due to delamination tectonics and orogenic collapse in the Cambrian. The late Neoproterozoic–Cambrian igneous rocks in DML thus record an orogenic cycle from subduction-accretion, continental collision to post-collisional process during and after the assembly of Gondwana.
