项目摘要
This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). The LISSARD project (Lake and Ice Stream Subglacial Access Research Drilling) is one of three research components of the WISSARD integrative initiative (Whillans Ice Stream Subglacial Access Research Drilling) that is being funded by the Antarctic Integrated System Science Program of NSF's Office of Polar Programs, Antarctic Division. The overarching scientific objective of WISSARD is to assess the role of water beneath a West Antarctic ice stream in interlinked glaciological, geological, microbiological, geochemical, and oceanographic systems. The LISSARD component of WISSARD focuses on the role of active subglacial lakes in determining how fast the West Antarctic ice sheet loses mass to the global ocean and influences global sea level changes. The importance of Antarctic subglacial lakes has only been recently recognized, and the lakes have been identified as high priority targets for scientific investigations because of their unknown contributions to ice sheet stability under future global warming scenarios. LISSARD has several primary science goals: A) To provide an observational basis for improving treatments of subglacial hydrological and mechanical processes in models of ice sheet mass balance and stability; B) To reconstruct the past history of ice stream stability by analyzing archives of past basal water and ice flow variability contained in subglacial sediments, porewater, lake water, and basal accreted ice; C) To provide background understanding of subglacial lake environments to benefit RAGES and GBASE (the other two components of the WISSARD project); and D) To synthesize data and concepts developed as part of this project to determine whether subglacial lakes play an important role in (de)stabilizing Antarctic ice sheets. We propose an unprecedented synthesis of approaches to studying ice sheet processes, including: (1) satellite remote sensing, (2) surface geophysics, (3) borehole observations and measurements and, (4) basal and subglacial sampling. INTELLECTUAL MERIT: The latest report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recognized that the greatest uncertainties in assessing future global sea-level change stem from a poor understanding of ice sheet dynamics and ice sheet vulnerability to oceanic and atmospheric warming. Disintegration of the WAIS (West Antarctic Ice Sheet) alone would contribute 3-5 m to global sea-level rise, making WAIS a focus of scientific concern due to its potential susceptibility to internal or ocean-driven instability. The overall WISSARD project will test the overarching hypothesis that active water drainage connects various subglacial environments and exerts major control on ice sheet flow, geochemistry, metabolic and phylogenetic diversity, and biogeochemical transformations. BROADER IMPACTS: Societal Relevance: Global warming, melting of ice sheets and consequential sea-level rise are of high societal relevance. Science Resource Development: After a 9-year hiatus WISSARD will provide the US-science community with a renewed capability to access and study sub-ice sheet environments. Developing this technological infrastructure will benefit the broader science community and assets will be accessible for future use through the NSF-OPP drilling contractor. Furthermore, these projects will pioneer an approach implementing recommendations from the National Research Council committee on Principles of Environmental Stewardship for the Exploration and Study of Subglacial Environments (2007). Education and Outreach (E/O): These activities are grouped into four categories: i) increasing student participation in polar research by fully integrating them in our research programs; ii) introducing new investigators to the polar sciences by incorporating promising young investigators in our programs, iii) promotion of K-12 teaching and learning programs by incorporating various teachers and NSTA programs, and iv) reaching a larger public audience through such venues as popular science magazines, museum based activities and videography and documentary films. In summary, WISSARD will promote scientific exploration of Antarctica by conveying to the public the excitement of accessing and studying what may be some of the last unexplored aquatic environments on Earth, and which represent a potential analogue for extraterrestrial life habitats on Europa and Mars.
该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案(公法111-5)资助的。LISSARD项目(湖泊和冰流冰下通道研究钻探)是WISSARD综合倡议(Whillans冰流冰下通道研究钻探)的三个研究组成部分之一,该倡议由NSF南极司极地方案办公室南极综合系统科学方案资助。 WISSARD的首要科学目标是评估南极西部冰流下的水在相互关联的冰川学、地质学、微生物学、地球化学和海洋学系统中的作用。WISSARD的LISSARD部分侧重于活跃的冰下湖泊在确定南极西部冰盖向全球海洋损失质量和影响全球海平面变化的速度方面的作用。 南极冰下湖泊的重要性直到最近才被认识到,这些湖泊已被确定为科学调查的高度优先目标,因为它们对未来全球变暖情景下冰盖稳定性的贡献是未知的。 LISSARD有几个主要的科学目标:A)为改进冰盖质量平衡和稳定性模型中冰下水文和力学过程的处理提供观测基础:B)通过分析冰下沉积物、孔隙水、湖水和基底积冰中所含的过去基底水和冰流变化的档案,重建冰流稳定性的过去历史; C)提供冰下湖泊环境的背景知识,以使RAGES和GBASE(WISSARD项目的另外两个组成部分)受益; D)综合作为该项目一部分开发的数据和概念,以确定冰下湖泊是否在稳定南极冰盖方面发挥重要作用。我们提出了一个前所未有的综合方法来研究冰盖的过程,包括:(1)卫星遥感,(2)表面地球物理学,(3)钻孔观测和测量,(4)基底和冰下取样。知识专长:政府间气候变化专门委员会的最新报告承认,评估未来全球海平面变化的最大不确定性来自对冰盖动态以及冰盖对海洋和大气变暖的脆弱性认识不足。仅南极西部冰盖的解体就将导致全球海平面上升3-5米,由于其对内部或海洋驱动的不稳定性的潜在敏感性,使南极西部冰盖成为科学关注的焦点。 整个WISSARD项目将测试总体假设,即活跃的排水连接各种冰下环境,并对冰盖流动,地球化学,代谢和系统发育多样性以及地球化学转化发挥主要控制作用。 更广泛的影响:社会相关性:全球变暖,冰盖融化和随之而来的海平面上升具有高度的社会相关性。科学资源开发:经过9年的中断,WISSARD将为美国科学界提供新的能力,以访问和研究亚冰盖环境。开发这一技术基础设施将有利于更广泛的科学界,资产将通过NSF-ESTA钻井承包商供未来使用。此外,这些项目将率先采取一种方法,执行国家研究理事会冰下环境勘探和研究环境管理原则委员会的建议(2007年)。教育和外展(E/O):这些活动分为四类:i)通过将他们完全融入我们的研究计划,增加学生对极地研究的参与; ii)通过将有前途的年轻研究人员纳入我们的计划,将新的研究人员引入极地科学,iii)通过纳入各种教师和NSTA计划,促进K-12教学和学习计划,及iv)透过科普杂志、博物馆活动、录像及纪录片等途径,接触更多市民。总之,WISSARD将促进对南极洲的科学探索,向公众传达进入和研究可能是地球上最后一些未经探索的水生环境的兴奋,这些水生环境代表着欧罗巴和火星上外星生命栖息地的潜在模拟。
