In this content, we have compiled the research of Turkish scientists and foreign scientists who participated in the 8th National Antarctic Science Expedition.
What studies are Turkish scientists carrying out?
National Antarctic Science Expedition Leader Prof. Dr. Ersan Başar, “Distribution and Fingerprint Analysis of Dissolved Dispersed Petroleum Hydrocarbons in Antarctic Peninsula SeawaterIn his study, he searches for the answer to the question of where the oil pollution in the ocean water in Antarctica comes from.
Deputy Leaders of the 8th National Antarctic Science Expedition Dr. Atilla Yılmaz and Captain Doğaç Baybars Işıler, “Investigation of Human-Caused Impacts on Horseshoe Island Aquatic Ecosystems” project, he tried to find an answer to the question “Are the levels of human-caused pollutants in lakes in Antarctica at a level that would threaten the ecosystem?”
Assoc. Dr. Hüseyin Ayhan Yavaşoğlu, “Development of an Energy Storage System Suitable for Polar Conditions” Within the scope of the project, an energy storage system with new generation battery cells that can be used in harsh polar conditions was developed. “By testing our system in the driving cycle specific to mobile vehicles, we sought the answer to the question of how the new generation batteries will perform in polar conditions.”
8th National Antarctic Science Expedition Environmental Officer, senior engineer Aybike Gül Karaoğlu said, “Determination of Anthropogenic Impacts on Horseshoe Island Marine and Coastal Ecosystem” project, he investigated whether there are human-caused pollutants in the Antarctic marine ecosystem and, if so, their amount and content.
The medical staff of the science expedition is Assoc. Dr. Bengüsu Mirasoğlu also said “VIII. National Antarctic Scientific Expedition Medical Consultancy and Medical Field ServiceHe carried out studies on “how to make health services better and more ideal in polar regions”.
Erhan Aslan, “Long-Term Changes in Global Solar Radiation and Potential Impacts on AntarcticaIn his study titled “Can empirical models be produced by monitoring the changes in solar radiation and other components of the atmosphere in the long term in Antarctica?” he sought the answer to the question.
Engineer Zafer Şahingöz, ““Horseshoe Island Automatic Meteorological Observation Station Maintenance-Repair” work “Can it operate more accurately and stably by collecting and examining the data on the station, and by maintaining and repairing the sensors that produce this data?” He looked for the answer to his question.
Engineer Captain Yunus Aytaç Akdoğan said, “Maintenance and repair of fixed GNSS station and collection of GNSS dataWith his project, he tried to find an answer to the question “How much geodynamic activity does Dismal and Horseshoe Islands have in mm per year?”
Expedition participant Sey. Asb. Kd. First Sergeant Mehmet Cihan Erol, “Antarctic Horseshoe Island Hydrographic SurveysHe worked on “collecting the depths required for navigation map production, identifying navigation hazards and identifying dangerous areas that hinder navigation”.
Prof. Dr. Ertuğrul Ağırbaş, “Horseshoe Island (Antarctica) Determination of Phytoplankton Functional Group Ratios by HPLC Pigment Analysis and Indicator Pigment Composition” project, he sought the answer to the question “What is the current status of phytoplankton functional groups, nutrient dynamics and hydrographic features that will contribute to the sustainable management of the Antarctic ecosystem under changing climate conditions and adaptation efforts to climate change?”
Prof. Dr. Ulgen Aytan,Plastic Pollution, Sources and Risk Analysis on Antarctic Horseshoe Island” to what extent is plastic pollution, the fastest growing threat on our planet, in the Antarctic aquatic (marine and freshwater) ecosystem? He conducted research on the questions “What are their possible sources and what kind of risks do existing plastics pose to this particular ecosystem?”
Assoc. Dr. Mehmet Korhan Erturaç, “Mapping and Dating Horseshoe Island Stepped Coastal Forms” project, he examined “how the melting of the ice cover in Antarctica affected the rise of land areas in the last 10 thousand years.”
Dr. Mehtap Dursun, “Detection of Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds in Water Samples from the Antarctic Continent by Mixing Bar Sorptive Extraction TDU-GCMS/MS Method” with the project “Are there micropollutants in the continental waters of the Antarctic region? He sought answers to the questions “If so, what is its level and origin?”
Dr. Denizhan Vardar, “Identification and Mapping of Horseshoe Island (West Antarctica) Shallow Seabed and Nearby Coastal Areas Glacier-derived Structures with Acoustic and High Resolution UAV Photographs and Determination of Recent Glacial MovementsIn his study, he conducted research on “how the seabed sedimentary units are distributed, the characteristics and formation mechanisms of erosion and deposition areas, and what effects they have on the coast.”
Murat Özkatan, “Paleomagnetism of Horseshoe Island: Determination of Tectonic and Paleointensity Changes, Marguerite Bay, AntarcticaWith his project, he sought answers to the questions “The geological formation of Horseshoe Island, the tectonic movements of the Antarctic plate on which it is located, and how the earth’s magnetic field has changed over time in the southern magnetic pole region.”
Prof. Dr. Nüket Sivri, “Determination of Critical Raw Material (CHM) Concentrations in Polar Regions and Adaptation of the Potential Ecological Risk Index to Polar Regions” study, “How do CHCs, which are important for industrial production and the sustainable functioning of the economy, affect the aquatic ecosystem health of the Antarctic Region? Are possible toxic effects and anthropogenic pressures from CHM observed in both polar regions? He conducted research to answer the questions “How different could the potential ecological risk index (PERI) adapted for the Antarctic Polar Region be from the index created in the Arctic Polar Region?”
Kağan Gökhan Görgişen, ““Science Communication Activities” With his work, he conducted research aimed at “contributing to the training and development of qualified human resources and the preparation of social infrastructure”, which is the central focus and driving force of the National Technology Move.
Oleg Vassilev, one of the foreign scientists who participated in the 8th National Antarctic Science Expedition, said, “Glacier Monitoring and 3D Modeling Based on UAV-GPR Observations on Horseshoe Island” project “Can we enrich the data set with a different approach for modeling and simulation of glaciers responding to temperature increases? He looked for the answer to his question.
Antonio Fernandez, “PARENTAR The Purpose of the Study titled “To Examine the Holocene Glaciation Process Related to Natural Dynamics and At the Same Time as Human-induced Activities” investigated “whether the glaciation in the last 200 years occurred faster than the early periods of the Holocene.”
Dr. Sofia Galban Mendez, “MICROAIRPOLARWith his project titled “, he worked on “biogeography, transport and adaptation of microorganisms in polar regions” and tried to find the answer to the question “What is the ability of microorganisms to spread into the air?”
Shweta Dutta is “Illumination-Induced Whistler Waves in Antarctica” project examined “whether lightning strikes in the southeastern United States are linked to very low-frequency (10 kHz) whistling waves on Antarctic Horseshoe Island.”
