Data on the species encountered (including marine mammals), their abundance, distribution and behavior. Data collected aboard cruises off the coast of the Western Antarctic Penninsula, 1993, 1999 and 2001. The objectives of the LTER seabird component during the 92-93 season cruises were similar.  These objectives included 1) determining the pelagic abundance and distribution of Adelie Penguins, 2) examining how the physical and biological characteristics of the marine environment influence these parameters and, 3) using these data to identify foraging areas that may be important to Adelie populations being studied as part of land-based  work at Palmer Station.  Secondary objectives included documenting the abundance and distribution of other seabirds and marine mammals within the LTER study area.  The focus of the January cruise was the nearshore foraging habitat,which required sampling at smaller scales.  All seabird censuses were thus conducted within approximately 100 kms of Palmer Station while traversing a sampling grid with stations at 10km intervals.  The first two days (18-20 January) of this cruise were spent covering the selected grid as rapidly as possible resulting in 45 transects spaced at 45-60 minute intervals.  There were no stops at the 10km stations during this Fast Grid phase.  Upon completion of the Fast Grid, a force 12 gale suspended data collection for 24 hours.  From January 22-25 the grid direction was reversed and the grid repeated.  During this Slow Grid phase, 2-M net tows were done at 10km intervals and BOPS and 1-M and 2-M net tows every 20 km.  All seabird censusesduring the cruise were done using the procedures outlined in theprevious paragraph.\n\ncdm_data_type = Trajectory\nVARIABLES:\nstudy_name (Study)\nevent\ntime (seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)\nlatitude (degrees_north)\nlongitude (degrees_east)\nlat_end (Latitude, degrees_north)\nlon_end (Longitude, degrees_east)\ndepth (m)\ncruise_name\nstart_station\nend_station\nduration (minutes)\n...

The Friedlaender group just recently joined the Palmer LTER in 2015, but prior collection of samples was leveraged from previous National Science Foundation (NSF) support and existing collaborations with Antarctic tour operations. Collection methods have been kept consistent, as the research group attempts to sample every whale encountered. Our current data set consists of three targeted species for collection, the humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae), Antarctic minke whale (Balaenoptera bonaerensis), and killer whales (Orcinus orca). Sample are kept frozen at -80°C until analysis following the completion of annual field work. Collection of these samples is still ongoing. The biopsy ID is the unique identifier for each collected sample and is used as the common field among the different analyses that are conducted on the sample to look at population and individual level demographic information. From these tissue samples, we can extract nuclear and mitochondrial DNA which provides us with information on the genetic sex, genotype (gene fingerprint), as well as haplotype of the individuals sampled. Additionally, from the blubber layer of the biopsy sample, our group can now successfully detect and quantify sex-steroid hormones, one of which is progesterone, that allows us to make inference on the pregnancy status of sampled individuals. Lastly, more recent work has begun to assess the microbial communities on the skin layer of the biopsy samples. Combined, these biological analyses provide an in depth understanding of the current population demographics and dynamics in these recovering marine species.     \\n\n\ncdm_data_type = Point\nVARIABLES:\nbiopsy_id\nspecies_code\ntime (seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z)\nlatitude (degrees_north)\nlongitude (degrees_east)\nsex\ntag_id\nphoto_frames\nhaplotype\ngenotype\nprogresterone\nmicrobiome\n https://pallter-data.marine.rutgers.edu/erddap/metadata/fgdc/xml/CetaceanBiopsies_fgdc.xml https://pallter-data.marine.rutgers.edu/erddap/metadata/iso19115/xml/CetaceanBiopsies_iso19115.xml https://pallter-data.marine.rutgers.edu/erddap/info/CetaceanBiopsies/index.htmlTable https://pal.lternet.edu/ (external link) http://pallter-data.marine.rutgers.edu/erddap/rss/CetaceanBiopsies.rss https://pallter-data.marine.rutgers.edu/erddap/subscriptions/add.html?datasetID=CetaceanBiopsies&showErrors=false&email= National Science Foundation CetaceanBiopsies
