Jay Rotella, Robert Garrott, and Don Siniff are co-PI's on the study, which is fundedīy the National Science Foundation through the U.S. Will also continue the long-term monitoring of the population and maintain the long-term found in Terror Bay, approximately 60 miles (100 km) north of the Erebus site. Variation in early-life survival and recruitment for those pups. Postmortems conducted in the late 20th century on the preserved bodies of.

Pup mass, time spent in the water by pups, and environmental conditions relate to Use mark-recapture analyses to evaluate hypotheses about how variation in birth dates, Studies to monitor fates of the pups through the age of first reproduction and (3) The study will (1) record birth dates, body mass metrics, and time spent in the waterįor multiple birth cohorts of pups born to known-age mothers (2) conduct mark-recapture Of diverse sources of variation in pup characteristics to demographic performance. Our current study has the broad objective of evaluating the importance Results because young born in different years can experience very different environmentalĬonditions. The volcano sits above a thin slice of crust, so molten rock. Erebus is still active, providing a rare bit of warmth in an extremely cold environment. Standing just off the coast of West Antarctica, Ross Island was built by the activity of four volcanoes. Mass, andthe amount of time they spend in the water before weaning. Near Mount Erebus, the water is frozen but the rock is liquid. Thus, pups vary widely with respect to birth dates, body Recent analyses have found that differences in maternal identity, age, body reserves,Īnd reproductive experience are directly linked to variation in offspring phenotype Species because population members have strong site fidelity, are readily approachedĪnd tagged during the pup-rearing period, and have been intensively studied for 40 Population is ideal for increasing understanding of population dynamics of long-lived Interest as the Ross Sea is one of the most productive areas of the Southern Ocean,Īnd one of the few pristine marine environments remaining on the planet. The Erebus Bay population of Weddell seals in Antarctica's Ross Sea is the most southerlyīreeding population of mammal in the world. The population's location is of special More than 24,747 marked individuals, contains detailed information on the populationsĪnd individual animals that provide excellent opportunities to study linkages betweenĮnvironmental conditions and demographic processes in the Antarctic. The final part of the paper examines how the status of the vessels is also governed by the terms of the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement between Canada and the Inuit of Nunavut, the source of the third body of relevant laws.A breeding population of Weddell seals, a prominent Antarctic high-level predatorĪssociated with fast ice, has been intensively studied in Erebus Bay at the southernĮxtent of the Ross Sea since 1968. The long-term database, which includes data for

These agreements-part treaty, part private law arrangements-form a second specialized body of relevant law. His body had warmed from the sun, and sand fell from him as he shifted on the ground. In addition to the general body of public international law, the article also examines three bilateral agreements between the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and Canada with respect to the wrecks. The UNESCO Convention of 2001 on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage is also relevant when considering the rights and obligations of states with respect to sunken vessels. Solve a murder, break out of prison, fight off the undead or save the human race the only limit to your memories is our. Erebus Escape provides realistic scenarios backed with a Hollywood styled plot and special effects. Public international law is relevant to the inquiry insofar as this body of law deals with immunity claims with respect to warships and state owned ships and property, and also establishes the rights of the coastal state with respect to the various maritime zones and activities within those zones.

These ships set sail from England in 1845, became trapped in ice in what is now the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, and were not re-discovered until 20. This article examines three main bodies of law that apply to the discovery of Her Majesty’s Ships Erebus and Terror.
