“…Conditions in the South Shetland Islands coastal region were characterized in a study evaluating potential locations for the Colombia science station. This study demonstrated the rapid variability of atmospheric conditions in the South Bay with average wind speeds of 4-8 m/s with gusts up to 20 m/s for less than a year [4]. For this reason, wind turbines to be installed in the region should be selected from turbines that are resistant to high-speed winds, even at locations with low average wind speeds.…”

The population of Antarctica consists of scientific research personnel. The number of residents ranges from about 1,100 in the winter to about 4,400 in the summer and up to 1,000 additional personnel in the nearby waters. Even in summer, Antarctica's sub-zero temperature increases the energy consumption of buildings for heating purposes. At the same time, the absence of a grid system necessitates the use of off-grid fossil-based or renewable energy systems. Considering the natural environment and building conditions in the studies, the multiple evaluation of the ground process for research stations is grouped into four main criteria: scientific research, environment, logistical support and topography. In these studies, the capacity of the renewable energy system requirement was not examined. For this reason, in this study, the capacities of the optimum hybrid renewable energy systems in 16 locations selected from different regions of Antarctica were compared. In the study, typical meteorological climate data of 15 locations were obtained. The daily energy demand is obtained by calculating the daily electricity consumption of the electrical devices and heating system that can be used. Results of this study shows that according to purpose of site, many locations that meets the requirements may exist with extremely different energy demands. In site selection, first the locations should be determined, than energy demands and required systems should be compared.

“…1B). Wave conditions inside the bay are considered moderate with the prevailing southwest winds (Lonin et al 2022), but winds from northeast, the second common wind direction for the area, can create strong katabatic winds over the bay due to the mountainous relief of the island (Navarro et al 2013;Lonin et al 2022). The average wind speed is 4 ms -1 , Diatoms from two contrasting sites in Antarctica with frequent gusts above 28 ms -1 and peak values above 40 ms -1 (Navarro et al 2013).…”

We used an artificial substratum (plexiglass tiles) to compare diatom communities at three different depths at two sites differing in their hydrological conditions and glacier melt-water influence. Samples at 1 m depth were taken during early summer in 2018, whereas samples at 3 m and 6.5 m were obtained in late summer 2020. The tiles were submerged for a period of up to 45 days in 2018, and up to 34 days in 2020. Water temperature, salinity, conductivity, oxygen saturation and concentrations, and Secchi depth were measured multiple times at both sites. During late summer of 2020 Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) was also measured at depths of 3, 6.5 and 10 m at both sites. A total of 50 taxa constituted the diatom communities. Colonization and community development followed the same scheme at both sites and at all depths, with an early establishment of the dominant taxa, and a decline in species richness, diversity and evenness indices over the time towards relatively stable low values. Based on the results of PERMANOVA, ANOSIM and SIMPER analyses, diatom communities were site-specific, with 49% dissimilarity between the sites. Mechanical disturbances, such as wave action and ice scouring, as well as depth (and light availability) seemed to be the main factors driving the differences. The motile Navicula aff. perminuta dominated under mechanical disturbances at various light conditions, Navicula glaciei preferred calm shallow waters, and erect diatom growth forms were present in higher numbers in deeper waters with deteriorated light conditions.

“…The establishment of public programs is essential for the conservation of the city's heritage monuments. In this context, it is crucial that new building materials are developed so that civil construction is more sustainable [11] and that new studies in hostile environments can be carried out [12].…”
