Master tracks in different resolutions of POLARSTERN cruise PS122/5, Arctic Ocean - Bremerhaven, 2020-08-12 - 2020-10-12

Raw data acquired by position sensors on board RV Polarstern during expedition PS122_5 was processed to receive a validated master track which can be used as reference of further expedition data. During PS122_5 two Trimble Marine SPS461 GPS receivers and the iXBlue HYDRINS hydrographic survey inertial navigation system were used as navigation sensors. Data were downloaded from DAVIS SHIP data base (https://dship.o2a-data.de) with a resolution of 1 sec. Processing and evaluation of the data is outlined in the data processing report found at EPIC repository hdl:10013/epic.c87f9f33-baed-46f7-9fac-5f31409719bc. Processed data are provided as a master track with 1 sec resolution derived from the position sensors' data selected by priority and a generalized track with a reduced set of the most significant positions of the master track.

Schwerpunktprogramm (SPP) 527: Bereich Infrastruktur - International Ocean Discovery Program, Teilprojekt: 'Arctic Ocean Paleoceanography (ArcOP)': Pilot-Studie und Leitung von IODP-Expedition 377 (ArcOP-Pilot)

Der Arktische Ozean und umgebende Landmassen sind bzw. waren Gegenstand sehr schneller und drastischer Umweltveränderungen. Dies spiegelt sich besonders deutlich in dem alarmierenden Schrumpfen der Arktischen Meereisdecke während der letzten 3-4 Dekaden wider. Durch komplexe Rückkopplungseffekte ist die Arktis zum einen ein Motor für globale Klimaänderungen, zum anderen wird die Arktis aber auch extrem von der globalen Klimaerwärmung beeinflusst. Trotz der großen Bedeutung der Arktis im globalen Klimasystem ist die langfristige Klimageschichte mit dem Übergang vom Treibhaus zum Eishaus im Verlauf des Känozoikums wenig erforscht. IODP Exp 302/ACEX (2004), die erste wissenschaftliche Arktis-Bohrung, ist ein Meilenstein der Arktis-Forschung, die durchschlagende neue Erkenntnisse zur frühen Klima- und Vereisungsgeschichte der Arktis geliefert hat. Zahlreiche Schlüsselfragen bezüglich der langfristigen Entwicklung der Arktis und deren Bezug zum globalen Klimasystem blieben aber unbeantwortet. Aufbauend auf den einmaligen ACEX-Daten wurde daher eine zweite IODP-Kampagne auf dem Lomonosov-Rücken vorgeschlagen, die jetzt als IODP Exp 377 im Herbst 2021 durchgeführt wird. In Vorbereitung und Durchführung von IODP Exp 377 soll sich das hier beantragte DFG-Projekt fokussieren auf: (1) Untersuchungen in einer Pilotstudie an Sedimentkernen, die auf der Polarstern-Expedition PS115/2 (2018) an Lokationen potentieller IODP Sites genommen wurden; (2) Weiterführung der Planung und Leitung der IODP Exp 377; und (3) Dokumentation & Präsentation der Ergebnisse der Pilotstudie und der IODP Exp 377 auf Arbeitstreffen/Konferenzen sowie in Reports/Publikationen.Die Pilotstudie ist zentraler Teil dieses Projekts und von übergeordneter Bedeutung für die IODP Exp 377 und soll folgende Arbeiten beinhalten:- Die Polarstern-Kerne repräsentieren die obersten ca. 10m in Topqualität, die in den IODP-Kernen häufig nur in gestörter Form enthalten sind. Durch Kombination der Polarstern- und IODP-Sequenzen wird eine einzigartige, komplette und ungestörte Sedimentabfolge vom frühen Känozoikum bis zum Rezenten vorliegen.- Die Polarstern-Kerne werden nach IODP-Standards geloggt (MSCL) und gescannt (XRF), was eine detaillierte und eindeutige Korrelation der Polarstern- und der IODP-Kerne ermöglicht.- Mittels Litho-, Zyklo-, Paleomagneto-, and 230Th-Isotopen-Stratigraphie soll ein absolutes Altersmodell für die Polarstern-Kerne entwickelt werden, das später in das Gesamtaltersmodell der IODP-Bohrung eingearbeitet werden soll.- Für die Rekonstruktion der quartären Geschichte der Arktischen Meereisverbreitung, der Ausdehnung von Eisschilden in Sibirien sowie der Stärke von Bodenwasserströmungen auf dem Lomonosov-Rücken sollen spezielle Biomarker, mineralogische Proxies, Korngrößenverteilungen und Elementverhältnisse bestimmt werden. Diese Datensätze sind von grundlegender Bedeutung für die Interpretation ähnlicher Daten, die aus späteren Untersuchungen der IODP-Kerne gewonnen werden.

Nitrogen isotope and biomarker data during Late Paleocene–early Eocene

This dataset compiles raw measurements generated to investigate perturbations of the marine nitrogen cycle during the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM). It includes abundances of isoprenoidal GDGTs (isoGDGTs) and crenarchaeol mass accumulation rates, (ii) chromatographic peak areas of bacteriohopanetetrol (BHT) and BHT-x, and (iii) the nitrogen isotopic composition of bulk sediments (bulk sediment δ¹⁵N). Samples were collected from multiple ocean basins and regions: the Central Arctic Ocean (IODP 302–M0004), East Tasman Plateau in the Southwest Pacific (ODP Site 1172), Central Northern Caucasus (Kheu River), the New Jersey Shelf/Atlantic Coastal Plain (ODP 174AX Ancora), the Côte d'Ivoire–Ghana Transform Margin in the equatorial Atlantic (ODP 959), the Southeast Newfoundland Ridge in the central North Atlantic (IODP 1403), Fur Island, Denmark (Fur Formation), and the Tarim Basin, western China (Qimugen Formation). Lipid biomarker data were obtained using liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry, and bulk nitrogen isotope data were measured by elemental analysis coupled to isotope-ratio mass spectrometry.

ICEFLUX allometric measurements of polar zooplankton and fish

This dataset summarizes allometric measurements on zooplankton and nekton species performed in the framework of the Dutch and German ICEFLUX projects. Measurements were performed on 639 individuals of 15 species from the Southern Ocean and 2374 individuals of 14 species from the Arctic Ocean, including euphausiids, fish, pelagic and ice-associated amphipods, cnidarians, salps, siphonophores, chaetognaths and a copepod. Animals were collected during three expeditions in the Southern Ocean (winter and summer) and three expeditions in the Arctic Ocean (spring and summer). In addition to measurements on length and mass, the sizes of body parts were measured, such as carapaces, eyes, heads, telsons, tails and otoliths.

Cell densities of the Arctic diatom Thalassiosira gravida in response to temperature, photoperiod and microbiome presence

In March 2023, cell densities of the Arctic diatom Thalassiosira gravida (isolated from the Central Arctic Ocean) were determined to calculate its growth rates at different temperatures and photoperiods in the presence and absence of its natural microbiome. Therefore, a full-factorial experimental design was chosen with two levels of temperature (9°C; 13.5°C) and photoperiod (16h; 24h), to which axenic and xenic diatom cultures were acclimated for one week in climate cabinets prior to the start of the actual growth experiment at a light intensity of 50 µmol photons m-2 s-1. With an initial cell density of 1500 cells/ml, axenic and xenic diatoms were grown under the respective experimental conditions until a cell density of approximately 15000 cells/ml was reached. Cell densities were determined microscopically using an inverted light microscope, following the procedure described in detail in Giesler et al. (2023, 10.3389/fmars.2023.1244639).

Multibeam bathymetry processed data (dataset compilation) of RV POLARSTERN & RV MARIA S. MERIAN during 44 cruises from 1984 to 2024, Fram Strait, Greenland Sea, Arctic Ocean

The Long-Term Ecological Research observatory HAUSGARTEN was established by the Alfred-Wegener-Institut Helmholtz-Zentrum für Polar- und Meeresforschung in the Fram Strait in summer 1999 to detect and track the impact of large-scale environmental changes on the marine ecosystem in the transition zone between the northern North Atlantic and the central Arctic Ocean. In this area, bathymetric data have been recorded with multibeam echosounders during 44 research expeditions on RV Polarstern and RV Maria S. Merian since 1984. From these data, a digital elevation model was generated and geostatistical analyses were performed to calculate geospatial derivatives and quantitative terrain descriptors for subsequent terrain analyses and habitat mapping. The dataset covers an area from 78°N to 81°N and 6°W to 12°E. To create the data product, archive data was used from seven different multibeam echosounders in various raw data formats. This data has been processed and cleaned with CARIS HIPS & SIPS, including sound velocity correction for datasets from 1999 and newer. Older datasets are calculated with a static sound velocity of 1500 m/s. Soundings where exported for gridding with Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) nearneighbor. The resulting Digital Elevation Model (DEM) is in the WGS84/Arctic Polar Stereographic (EPSG:3995) projection with a cell size of 100m x 100m. The hillshade was computed with a combination of slope and synthetic illumination with a vertical exaggeration of 10. Slope inclination was calculated with GDAL tool Slope with the formula of Zevenbergen and Thorne (1987) in degree. Terrain Ruggedness Index (TRI) was computed with the QGIS tool Ruggedness index following the approach of Riley et al. (1999) in meters. For the Bathymetric Position Indices (BPI), focal statistics have been calculated with the GRASS tool "r.neighbors" and the QGIS raster calculator following the concept of the Topographic Position Index (Weiss, 2001) with a circular reference area of 99 cells (broad) and 9 cells (fine). The additional coverage polygon layer gives and overview on the used datasets and their corresponding metadata. The map gives an overview on the LTER HAUSGARTEN area and the HAUSGARTEN 2024 DEM.

Clay and heavy minerals and total organic carbon in Arctic Ocean surface sediments – Data tables to distribution maps of Stein (2008)

Total organic carbon (TOC) and mineral assemblages are key data sets determined to characterize marine sediments in terms of sediment provenances, processes, and depositional environments. In a comprehensive review and synthesis (Stein, 2008), such data were compiled for Arctic Ocean surface sediments and shown in nine selected distribution maps: four maps of clay minerals (illite, smectite, chlorite, and kaolinite), four maps of heavy minerals (amphibole, clinopyroxene, epidote, and garnet), and one TOC map. The data used to produce these maps, are represented in the three tables of this data report. For details in background information and methodology see primary source literature cited here as well as the Stein (2008) synthesis.

Helicopter-borne Magnetics NARES I + II (Kane Basin)

In May/June 2001, as part of the expedition NARES I, an aeromagnetic survey was carried out in the area of the eastern Kane Basin in cooperation with the Canadian GSC, in addition to the survey over the Robeson Channel and parallel to marine geophysical investigations with the Canadian icebreaker Louis S. St. Laurent. Another survey, NARES II, was conducted from Alexandra Fiord in 2003 and covered coastal areas of Ellesmere Island and the western Kane Basin. The aim of the research was to detect and localize the Wegener Fault, a transform fault between Ellesmere Island and NW Greenland, which is closely linked to the opening of the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean. The helicopter-borne magnetic surveys NARES I + II (Kane Basin) were carried out with a flight line spacing of 2 km, and control profiles were flown every 10 km. During the two expeditions, 11806 km of line data were collected (3573 km in 2001, and 8333 km in 2003), covering an area of approximately 20000 km². The aeromagnetic data were recorded by a magnetometer, which was towed approx. 25 m beneath the helicopter.

Helicopter-borne Magnetics NARES I (Robeson Channel)

During the German-Canadian Nares Strait Expedition in 2001, an aeromagnetic survey was carried out across the northern part of the Nares Strait including the Hall Basin, Judge Daly Promontory and in Robeson Channel in cooperation with the Canadian GSC. The aim of the research was to detect and localize the Wegener Fault, a transform fault between Ellesmere Island and NW Greenland, which is closely linked to the opening of the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean. The helicopter-borne magnetic survey NARES I (Robeson Channel) was carried out with a flight line spacing of 2 km, and control profiles were flown every 10 km. During the expedition, 5470 km of line data were collected. The aeromagnetic data were recorded by a magnetometer, which was towed approx. 25 m beneath the helicopter and recorded at a constant altitude of 305 m (1000 ft) above ground.
