Stazione GNSS permanente TNB1 TNB2 - IGOA - from 1993

TNB1 and TNB2 continuous GNSS stations There are currently two continuous GNSS stations, TNB1 and TNB2, nearby the Italian base MZS (Mario Zucchelli Station). Collected data, in RINEX format, are sent daily in Italy and are available for download at the Database page of this website. TNB1 continuous GPS station was monumented during the 1997-1998 campaign on a granite outcrop. It was originally equipped with an Ashtech Z-12 GPS receiver and an Ashtech 700936D Dorne Margolin antenna with chokering. Installed on a concrete pillar, TNB1 continuously collected data of the GPS constellation for about 17 years. In November 2015, the instrumentation was completely renewed. Currently, the station is equipped with a Leica GS25 GNSS receiver and a Leica AT504 Dorne Margolin antenna with chokering. TNB1 collect data of GPS and GLONASS constellations.

Meteorological data - AWS VIRGINIA - MALOX

In the MAss LOst in wind fluX (MALOX) project the automatic weather station AWS Virginia purpose is to contribute to the monitoring of global climate change monitoring standard meteorological parameters. The AWS is located at Inexpressible Island (74°56’S 163°41’E) at --- m a.s.l., and has been installed on the ---. It acquired, every minute, all year round, the meteorological vaiables of wind velocity, wind direction, temperature, pressure and relative humidity.

DNA metabarcoding analysis of fungal communities in rocks and soils of Northern Victoria Land - AMICO - 2022

The fungal communities in rocks and soils of three different localities (Battleship Promontory, Richard Nunatak, Trio Nunatak), where stations are collecting climatic data, have been compared with a DNA metabarcoding approach. The results showed a strong differentiation in the communities diversity and composition between the two substrates, with an higher diversity in soils compared to rocks.

CARBONACEOUS CHONDRITE - CV

This dataset includes all the carbonaceous chondrites CV group collected during the Italian Antarctic Expeditions since 1997 in Victoria Land and now preserved at the repository of the Museo Nazionale dell’Antartide.

PRIMITIVE ACHONDRITE - ACAPULCOITE

This dataset includes all the acapulcoite meteorites (primitive achondrites) collected during the Italian Antarctic Expeditions since 1994 in Victoria Land and now preserved at the repository of the Museo Nazionale dell’Antartide.
