New Micrometeorite Collection Site Discovered at Wideroefjellet, Antarctica Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The highest flux of extraterrestrial material entering Earth's atmosphere, approximately 40,000 tons per year, arrives in the form of sub-mm particles of dust, which are found as unmelted micro-meteorites or melted cosmic spherules. Such particles have been collected in areas of low sedimentation, such as deep-sea sediments or by melting large volumes of ice. More recently, large accumula-tions of micrometeorites have been recovered in pits, ...
Report of the JARE-54 and BELARE 2012-2013 joint expedition to collect meteorites on the Nansen Ice field Antarctica Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This paper reports on a joint expedition (JARE-54 and BELARE 2012–2013) that conducted a search for meteorites on the Nansen Ice Field, Antarctica, in an area south of the Sør Rondane Mountains (72°30′–73°S, 23°–25°E; elevation 2900–3000 m). The expedition took place over a period of 39 days during the austral summer, between 26 December 2012 and 2 February 2013. The team consisted of ten members: three researchers and one field assistant from ...
Culturable bacterial diversity at the Princess Elisabeth Station (Utsteinen, Sør Rondane Mountains, East Antarctica) harbours many new taxa Plantentuin Meise / Agentschap Plantentuin Meise Universiteit Gent
We studied the culturable heterotrophic bacterial diversity present at the site of the new Princess Elisabeth Station at Utsteinen (Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica) before construction. About 800 isolates were picked from two terrestrial microbial mat samples after incubation on several growth media at different temperatures. They were grouped using rep-PCR fingerprinting and partial 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Phylogenetic analysis of the ...
A detailed record of the BELARE 2019-2020 meteorite recovery expedition on the Nansen Ice Field, East Antarctica Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This report summarizes the Belgian Antarctic Expedition (BELARE) 2019-2020 meteorite search and recovery expedition near the S r Rondane Mountains of East Antarctica during the 2019⊖2020 field season. This expedition took place from 15 January to 6 February 2020 within the area defined as C of the Nansen Ice Fields (S72 38 ⊖72 48 S, 24 35 ⊖25 06 E). The expedition team consisted of four scientists and two field guides, who systematically ...
A re-investigation of lake sediment diatoms from the Vestfold Hills, Antarctica, using an updated, fine-grained taxonomy Plantentuin Meise / Agentschap Plantentuin Meise Universiteit Antwerpen
The non-marine diatom flora of the Antarctic continent is currently being revised as recent work within the Maritime and Sub-Antarctic regions has unveiled a number of new endemic species. The under reporting of endemic species is partially due to the historic `force-fitting' of Antarctic species into European names. Within East Antarctica, the Vestfold Hills are an extensively studied area known for their diversity of lakes spanning a salinity ...
