Activities focused on three main subjects: i) Antarctic permafrost and active layer dynamics, led by the Centre for Geographical Studies, University of Lisbon (CEG-UL); ii) Chemistry of Arctic permafrost by IPIMAR; iii) Earth-Mars analogues by CERENA - Instituto Superior T&eacute;cnico, UTL.&nbsp;<br /><br />The CEG-UL is leading the FCT-funded project PERMANTAR in Livingston (LI) and Deception (DI) Islands (Antarctic Peninsula region), which also involves the Centre of Geophysics of the University of Lisbon and Centre of Geophysics of &Eacute;vora. The project includes also the universities of Alcal&aacute; (Spain) and Buenos Aires (Argentina), and the Bulgarian Antarctic Institute. PERMANTAR collaborates closely with the Spanish project PERMAMODEL-IPY. Main activities focused in the the installation and upgrading of permafrost and periglacial processes monitoring sites: i) a new 8 m borehole in LI, ii) three new 4-5m boreholes (collaboration Russian Academy of Sciences) in DI, iii) new CALM-S sites in DI and LI, iv) a meteorological station in LI, v) solifluction, thermokarst and rockglaciers monitoring sites, vi) time-lapse cameras, vii) year-round monitoring with resistivimeter with datalogger in DI, viii) electrical resistivity tomography surveying in LI, and ix) n-factor monitoring sites in DI. Master theses on Antarctic permafrost have been presented by A. Trindade and R. Melo (http://www.antecc.org). Education and outreach activities have been organized, including talks in schools, public lectures and a permafrost film &ldquo;Permafrost! Polar science at 62&ordm;S&rdquo; for classroom activities. It will be freely available in DVD to schools and open-access in the Internet. The CEG-UL team continued the scientific coordination of the grant program New Generation of Polar Scientists funded by Caixa Carbono Zero (CGD). This program involves full-time funding of two students on permafrost research in a total of six grants in polar science.<br /><br />IPIMAR's research on permafrost was conducted in Umuijaq, Northen Qu&eacute;bec. The main objectives are studying carbon and contaminant chemistry in thermokarst lakes and their hydrological impact in rivers, sea and snow pack. Measurements of biogas fluxes and sampling of water, ice, snow and sediments for analysis were conducted. Umuijaq is an area of carbon-poor permafrost which contrasts with the results obtained in 2008 in a carbon-rich permafrost area. This study contributes to a better understanding of the impacts of permafrost thaw in the carbon and trace element contaminants cycles.<br /><br />CERENA continued researching automated mapping and characterization of polygonal networks on Mars. Research focused on the detailed analysis of the NASA Phoenix landing region (around 68&ordm; N), which are extensive plains largely occupied by small-scale polygonal terrains. These were difficult to perceive in previous imagery but are now unveiled by the HiRISE camera onboard Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (30 cm/pixel). The huge number of small polygons (diameter around 4 m) demonstrates the necessity of using automated approaches allowing for a detailed mapping of these extensive networks. This will contribute to gather data to help probe into the most widely accepted genetical models, namely thermal contraction of permafrost. &nbsp;<br /><br />Gon&ccedil;alo Vieira, Jo&atilde;o Can&aacute;rio and Pedro Pina</div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[ANTECC colabora no ciclo Expedições Extremas no Pavilhão do Conhecimento - Lisboa]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.antecc.org/1/post/2010/01/antecc-colabora-no-ciclo-expedies-extremas-no-pavilho-do-conhecimento-lisboa.html]]></link><comments><![CDATA[http://www.antecc.org/1/post/2010/01/antecc-colabora-no-ciclo-expedies-extremas-no-pavilho-do-conhecimento-lisboa.html#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Thu, 07 Jan 2010 08:19:06 -0800</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.antecc.org/1/post/2010/01/antecc-colabora-no-ciclo-expedies-extremas-no-pavilho-do-conhecimento-lisboa.html</guid><description><![CDATA[ [...] ]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<div ><div style="text-align: center;"><a><img src="http://www.antecc.org/uploads/1/6/4/0/164050/7906385.jpg?421" style="margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 10px; border-width:1px;padding:3px;" alt="Picture" class="galleryImageBorder" /></a><div style="display: block; font-size: 90%; margin-top: -10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"></div></div></div><span  style=" position: relative; z-index: 10; float: left; "><a><img src="http://www.antecc.org/uploads/1/6/4/0/164050/7081135.jpg" style="margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px; border-width:1px;padding:3px;" alt="Picture" class="galleryImageBorder" /></a><div style="display: block; font-size: 90%; margin-top: -10px; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: center;"></div></span><div  class="paragraph" style=" text-align: left; display: block; ">Passe o S&aacute;bado numa expedi&ccedil;&atilde;o polar!<br /><br />A Ant&aacute;rctida &eacute; um dos locais mais in&oacute;spitos do planeta.

The objectives of this meeting were mainly to increase the communication between young polar scientists, increase the scientific knowledge and skills about the cryosphere; to provide information and advice on the development of the academic career; and to stimulate the researchers to develop education and outreach activities.<br />The workshop counted with participants from several countries (Canada, Denmark, Germany, etc.) including the portuguese participation of Alice Ferreira. In this meeting the young polar researcher presented the recent outreach film about the portuguese scientific work on the Antarctic entitled &ldquo;Permafrost.

The excursion involved a circuit around the plateau of Kinder Scout (636m) constituted of sandstone and limestone formations. The morphology is currently dominated by processes of hydric erosion and high slope activity. The main feature is a deep maze-like gullies that dissect the thick bog inherited from the quaternary glaciations.</div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Alice Ferreira em estadia na Universidade de Valladolid  para desenvolver colaboração em investigação sobre regime térmico do solo e morfodinâmica periglaciária]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.antecc.org/1/post/2009/11/alice-ferreira-em-estadia-na-universidade-de-valladolid-para-desenvolver-colaborao-em-investigao-sobre-regime-trmico-do-solo-e-morfodinmica-periglaciria.html]]></link><comments><![CDATA[http://www.antecc.org/1/post/2009/11/alice-ferreira-em-estadia-na-universidade-de-valladolid-para-desenvolver-colaborao-em-investigao-sobre-regime-trmico-do-solo-e-morfodinmica-periglaciria.html#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:34:46 -0800</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.antecc.org/1/post/2009/11/alice-ferreira-em-estadia-na-universidade-de-valladolid-para-desenvolver-colaborao-em-investigao-sobre-regime-trmico-do-solo-e-morfodinmica-periglaciria.html</guid><description><![CDATA[Entre 20 e 24 de Outubro Alice Ferreira esteve na Universidade de Valladolid sob direc&ccedil;&atilde;o cient&iacute;fica de Enrique Serrano a elaborar um plano de trabalho investiga&ccedil;&atilde;o conjunto sobre os Picos da Europa.
