ATMOSPHERE SCIENCES

1. BREWER, Czech Hydrometeorological Institute

This project is part of the Solar and Ozone Observatory of the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute and Argentine Antarctic Institute , where ozone gases and UV radiation were studied.

I share this study that used the data during my 2018 winter Antarctic campaign, in charge of the Marambio Base scientific pavilion. It is about: “Assessment of spectral UV radiation at Marambio Base, Antarctic Peninsula. This study aims to assess the dependence of spectral UV radiation on different atmospheric and terrestrial factors, including solar zenith angle, ozone, and cloud cover, in the southern polar environment. For this purpose, 23 260 spectra (300–363 nm), obtained by the B199 Mk-III Brewer spectrophotometer at Marambio Base, Antarctic Peninsula region, over the period 2010–2020, were studied.” 

2. NEVA III, INTA Spanish National Institute for Aerospace Technology
This project is part of the INTA, Spanish National Institute for Aerospace Technology and Argentine Antarctic Institute, where ozone gases are studied.
 
I share this study that used data during my 2018 winter Antarctic campaign, in another Argentine scientific pavilion. It is about: “Polar Stratospheric Clouds Detection at Belgrano II Antarctic Station with Visible Ground-Based Spectroscopic Measurements”.
3. LAGO
This project is part of the Argentine Antarctic Institute, where variability of galactic cosmic ray (GCR) flux were studied.
 
I share this study that the measurement equipment was created and started to take data during my 2018 winter Antarctic campaign, in charge of the Maranbio Base scientific pavilion. It is about: “First measurements of periodicities and anisotropies of cosmic ray flux observed with a water-Cherenkov detector at the Marambio Antarctic base”.
4. NILU

This project is part of the Argentine Antarctic Institute, Argentine National Meteorological Service,SMN, and Finnish Meteorological Institute, Climate Research Programme where UV radiation was studied.

I share this study that used the data during my 2018 winter Antarctic campaign, in charge of the Marambio Base scientific pavilion. It is about: “UV radiation measurements in Marambio, Antarctica during years 2017–2019 in a wider temporal and spatial context”.

 

GLACIOLOGY

This project is part of the Argentine Antarctic Institute and Institut für Geographie, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, where glaciers and movements of large masses of ice were studied.

I share these studies that used the data during my 2018 winter Antarctic campaign, in charge of the Marambio Base scientific pavilion. It is about:

-“Uncertainty Assessment of Ice Discharge Using GPR-Derived Ice Thickness from Gourdon Glacier, Antarctic Peninsula” 

-“Spatial and Temporal Variability of Glacier Surface Velocities and Outlet Areas on James Ross Island, Northern Antarctic Peninsula”.

 

SEISMOLOGY

This project is part of the National Institute of Oceanography and Experimental Geophysics ,OGS, and Argentine Antarctic Institute .

I share these studies that used the data during my 2018 winter Antarctic campaign, in charge of the Marambio Base scientific pavilion. It is about:

–“The Antarctic Seismographic Argentinean Italian Network (ASAIN): Recording Earthquakes in the Scotia Sea Region”.

–“Caracterización de estructuras del manto superior en la región del extremo norte de la Península Antártica, mediante un análisis de las anomalías de velocidad sísmica”.

ANTARCTIC MARINE BIOLOGY

This project is part of the Argentine Antarctic Institute .

I participated in the emperor penguin counting project at the Jason colony, where I took photos from an airplane, according to the minimum height stipulated by the Antarctic Treaty.
