McMurdo epifauna species list:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/746999" target="_blank">https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/746999</a></p> Methods and Sampling: Sample images were collected by SCUBA divers during the austral spring between September and November each year. To quantify common species we used ten replicate still images, and cropped each image to cover 1 m2. To quantify rare species we used three replicate transects encompassing 10 m2 each. For the cryptic species Laternula elliptica P. P. King, we made in situ counts in six replicate 0.25 m2 areas. Species that could not be counted as individuals were not quantified (e.g. some hydroids, bryozoans, and sponges). Organisms visible in each quadrat or transect were identified to the lowest possible taxonomic category and enumerated. Taxonomy follows that of the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS, http://www.marinespecies.org/about.php). Individual taxa were counted in either quadrats or transects, depending on abundance. The counts were area-adjusted and combined into a single megafaunal data set.
Two 4 cm diameter, 5 cm deep cores were collected, one for grainsize analysis which was refrigerated until processing, and one for carbon and nitrogen analysis that was frozen until analysis. Results and methodology of grainsize, carbon and nitrogen analysis can be found in the dataset "McMurdo sediment" https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/746035.

Decadal Variation in Antarctic Marine Benthic Ecosystems
<p>From proposal abstract:</p>
<p>The ability to document and understand long-term trends in ocean climate and ecology, including the role of human activities on the biosphere, depends on an adequate knowledge of natural interdecadal fluctuations. The proposed research will document changes in benthic ecosystems in McMurdo Sound over the last four decades, i.e., since the beginning of quantitative studies of population and community organization in this region. The investigators will retrieve, analyze, and archive historical data of benthic assemblages in both hard and soft substrata, and continue work on several time series projects begun in the mid-1960s and early 1970s. The investigators will focus on the succession of marine invertebrate communities that have settled and survived on a variety of artificial substrates placed on the sea floor from the late 1960s to 1989. The substrates harbor several decades of information on patterns of settlement, growth, survival, longevity, overgrowth and other biological interactions and processes. The original researchers will relocate and permanently mark (with GPS) historical sampling sites; recover data from as much of the historical work as possible; provide meta-data to insure that past data are understood and sites can be properly resampled; and make all data available to the general science community in a permanent database housed at SCAR-MarBIN. The proposed work will be closely coordinated with an international macroecology program in the Ross Sea, represented by collaborator Simon Thrush (Latitudinal Gradient Project). In addition to reporting results in peer-reviewed publications and providing research support and opportunities for at least two graduate students, the investigators also will involve undergraduate and high school interns in the project, and participate in teacher education programs. The investigators will continue ongoing collaborations with K-12 outreach and college programs that focus on ocean science, and develop a new, broader public outreach effort with the Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. </p>

Food web dynamics in an intact ecosystem: the role of top predators in McMurdo Sound

Food web dynamics in an intact ecosystem: the role of top predators in McMurdo Sound
<p><em>Extracted from the NSF award abstract:</em></p>
<p>The research project investigates the importance of top down forcing on pelagic food webs. The relatively pristine Ross Sea includes large populations of upper-level predators such as minke and killer whales, Adélie and Emperor penguins, and Antarctic toothfish. This project focuses on food web interactions of Adélie penguins, minke whales, and the fish-eating Ross Sea killer whales, all of which exert foraging pressure on their main prey, crystal krill (<em>Euphausia cyrstallorophias</em>) and silver fish (<em>Pleuragramma antarcticum</em>) in McMurdo Sound.</p>
<p>The investigators used a video- and acoustic-capable ROV, and standard biological and environmental sensors to quantify the abundance and distribution of phytoplankton, sea ice biota, prey, and relevant habitat data. The sampling area included 37 stations across an 30 x 15 km section of McMurdo Sound, stratified by distance from the ice edge as a proxy for air-breathing predator access. This study will be among the first to assess top-down forcing in the Ross Sea ecosystem and will form the basis for multidisciplinary studies in the future.</p>

Development of a Remotely Operated Vehicle for Under Sea Ice Research in Polar Environments

Development of a Remotely Operated Vehicle for Under Sea Ice Research in Polar Environments
<p><em>NSF Award Abstract:</em><br />
In marine habitats worldwide, the zone between scuba-diving depths (to 40 m) and surge-free depths (below 200 m) has been poorly studied. Under ice-covered seas, wave motion is minimal to nonexistent, and the zone between 40 and 200 m is accessible to ROVs. Polar marine research has the benefit of stable sea ice platforms for staging and deploying instruments like ROVs, but this requires a hole that is, fo rmost ROVs, a meter in diameter. This proposal develops an ROV that can be deployed through a 15 cm hole that can be drilled with a hand-held power head, requiring minimal logistical support and technical expertise. The new ROV provides access to regions that remain unstudied, expanding our scientific reach and ability to address new questions. We will develop, test, and modify the ROV while accomplishing several overlapping and interdependent science objectives, including (1) exploration and documentation of rates and patterns of ecological succession from one of the most extreme coastal habitats in the world, (2) a survey of two unique benthic habitats and communities beyond scuba diving depths (at 40-170 m), which are almost completely unknown to most researchers and assembly of individual photographs into high-resolution images of the seafloor and (3) testing of protocols for conducting sonar mapping and creating high resolution continuous bathymetric maps of the entire seafloor around McMurdo Station. The ROV will be constructed as modules; this allows flexibility to change the ROV capabilities to suit different missions. Some components can be purchased off the shelf (e.g. VideoRay high resolution and low light video cameras), but may require development of some custom integration software. Power is provided from the surface via a 2 conductor tether; bi-directional high speed data is modulated on the tether as well, providing 84 mbs of data and unlimited dive duration. The topside controls consist of a laptop computer and joystick for the pilot. Many of the control functions and display screens could be accessed via the Internet for educational demonstrations and interactions. Two graduate students will participate fully in the project. Several other Antarctic scientists have indicated a strong interest in utilizing this tool in their research and it will be available to a pool of users on completion of the project.</p>

Community Dynamics in a Polar Ecosystem: Benthic Recovery From A Large Scale Organic Enrichment in the Antarctic
https://osprey.bco-dmo.org/project/745880
Community Dynamics in a Polar Ecosystem: Benthic Recovery From A Large Scale Organic Enrichment in the Antarctic
<p>NSF abstract:<br />
Antarctic marine ecosystems differ from other polar, temperate and tropical systems at the level of individuals, populations and communities. The environment is characterized by extreme seasonality in light and food availability, along with cold stenothermal conditions. Additionally, human impacts are more limited in Antarctica than in highly populated or exploited areas. A unique research opportunity will occur in 2003 with the installation of a sewage treatment plant at McMurdo Station. This will allow for the conduct of a large-scale experiment on community recovery from organic enrichment and physical disturbance. This research will test whether major hypotheses related to community structure and disturbance recovery, which were formulated and demonstrated in more accessible marine communities, applies to Antarctic ecosystems. This research will build on a ten-year time-series that follows benthic community degradation resulting from emplacement of a sewage outfall. A complicating factor in the local McMurdo ecosystem is the input of fecal matter from the abundant populations of marine mammals and large fishes. Sampling will span the implementation of sewage treatment and the data will be incorporated in a meta-analysis of community recovery from organic disturbance in a variety of habitats, to test the generality of recovery patterns. Experimental manipulations will compare the potentially complex roles of burial and patch size in recovery dynamics. The knowledge gained from this research can be applied to other examples of high organic loading in polar habitats. Significant anthropogenic inputs in high latitudes include pulp mills and increases in human occupation and visitation as well as natural sources including woody debris in river outputs and carcass-falls from the productive surface waters above also present significant carbon inputs to high latitude environments. This study will significantly further the understanding of anthropogenic impacts in polar environments using an integrated approach to evaluate the recovery of the infaunal and epifaunal assemblages after a substantial carbon-loading perturbation sustained over ten years.</p>

dataset
Sample images were collected by SCUBA divers during the austral spring between September and November each year. To quantify common species we used ten replicate still images, and cropped each image to cover 1 m2. To quantify rare species we used three replicate transects encompassing 10 m2 each. For the cryptic species Laternula elliptica P. P. King, we made in situ counts in six replicate 0.25 m2 areas. Species that could not be counted as individuals were not quantified (e.g. some hydroids, bryozoans, and sponges). Organisms visible in each quadrat or transect were identified to the lowest possible taxonomic category and enumerated. Taxonomy follows that of the World Register of Marine Species (WoRMS, http://www.marinespecies.org/about.php). Individual taxa were counted in either quadrats or transects, depending on abundance. The counts were area-adjusted and combined into a single megafaunal data set.
Two 4 cm diameter, 5 cm deep cores were collected, one for grainsize analysis which was refrigerated until processing, and one for carbon and nitrogen analysis that was frozen until analysis. Results and methodology of grainsize, carbon and nitrogen analysis can be found in the dataset "McMurdo sediment" https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/746035.
