I am also a phytoplankton ecologist and up to 2011 I will be studying the phytoplankton community from some places near the South Shetlands, as my PhD Thesis at a Brazilian university (FURG). So, I have been identified some species like yours and further I will try to obtain some biovolume and biomass features from those plankters. I would be grateful if we could talk to each other on some scientific doubts. Just thank for sharing your impressions and comments. Good photos!

I collected samples from the vicinity of floating icebergs in coastal Antarctic region in Indian Sector of Southern Ocean onboard Akademik Boris Petrov, March 2009. I have got some interesting results after correlating phytoplankton data with physical and chemical parameters. In physical parameters, I have used SST, SSS and wind speed while in Chemical parameters I have used Macro-nutrients, TOC, TCO2, pH and pCO2. Earlier Smith et al., 2007, Swarzch & Schodlok, 2009 have described possible impacts of icebergs on phytoplankton distribution and abundance from Weddell Sea. I find your one paper on glacial melt water dynamics of Antarctic Peninsula, PNAS, 2002 very useful. I would like to discuss my results with you for your constructive comments and suggestions. Take care and have a nice time Sunil Kumar Shukla, NCAOR, India Hello Mam,

I know next to nothing about diatoms but like them from a "gee whiz" point of view.

I would be very thankful to if you could kindly collect some materials. The diatoms images are excellent and it reminds me of my trip int eh Weddell Sea during 1988 winter cruise as part of AMERIEZ-1988 projects. Have a safe and productive trip.
