| H. Ducklow (general) and K. Baker (data) | The Palmer Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) study | Investigations at LTER Palmer site include: 1)physical forcing (solar radiation, atmospheric, oceanic and sea ice) with emphasis on ecological consequences of annual and inter-annual variation; 2) Life-history parameters of secondary producers (krill) and apex predators (penguins); 3) Biological process with emphasis on community structure and carbon fluxes (microbial, phytoplankton); 4)Physical/chemical/biological modeling that links ecosystem processes to environmental variables. | Ongoing | See Data Page at LTER |
| A. Clarke, M. Meredith, M. Brandon, T. Jickells | Rothera Time Series (RaTS) | Properties being measured on a weekly basis are ocean temp, salin, nutrients, oxygen isotopes, chlorophyll, + various associated biogeochem measurements. Also associated monitoring of atmosphere and ice conditions. In addition, current meter moorings and sediment traps. | 1997 (ongoing).
Current meter moorings and sediment traps to be deployed in 2006 |

| T. Jickells, A. Clarke, M. Brandon, M. Meredith, M. Wallace | Biogeochemical particle flux study in Marguerite Bay, Antarctic Peninsula | Two moorings have been deployed in Margueriite Bay at 67 55S 68 24W , and 67 34S 68 14 W. Each mooring has two sediment traps: One at 200 m from the surface, and one 100 m above the sea floor. They also have 75KHz adcps, two VACM's and several thermistor and depth sensors. The overall goal is to quantify the magnitude and control of biogeochemical and physical fluxes in Marguerite Bay. | Funded and underway. Moorings will be finally recovered in March 2007. | Project ends 2007 and data will be archived in the British Oceanograhic data centre. |
