    Currently occurring rapid warming in the Arctic could affect global environmental changes through sea level rise and remote atmospheric effect. The surface melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) involves various uncertainties, which are issues to be elucidated for accurate climate projections. To clarify how the atmosphere, snow/ice, and glacial microbes in the GrIS affect the ice sheet change under global warming, the SIGMA and SIGMA-II projects were conducted from FY2011 to FY2019. In parallel, big Arctic research projects such as GRENE and ArCS were also done, which accelerated the Japanese Greenland researches. This paper describes the research results of the SIGMA and SIGMA-II projects as well as the related research projects in the categories of (1) in-situ observations of the atmosphere, snow/ice, and glacial microbes, (2) ice core drilling, (3) satellite observation, and (4) numerical modeling. Furthermore, we discuss current issues in these studies, a linkage to the Cryosphere subject of recently launched ArCS II Project, and the importance of capacity building., The Japanese Society of Snow and Ice, Japanese

  • Improved direct-count method by fluorescence microscope for low-biomass ice core (in Japanese)
    Jun Uetake; Kumiko Goto-Azuma; Hideaki Motoyama, Antarctic record, 56, 1, 57, 67, 30 Mar. 2012
    Ice cores recovered from ice sheets contain microorganisms that were transported to the surface of the ice sheet along with airborne dust. The abundance of microorganisms in ice cores, as measured by direct cell count under a fluorescence microscope, is generally lower than that in other aquatic environments. It is possible that the abundance of microorganisms in ice cores is underestimated due to the degradation of fluorescent dye or because non-specific fluorescence from mineral particles inhibits the fluorescence signal from microorganisms. To investigate this possibility, we tested 4 ty..., National Institute of Polar Research, Japanese

  • Communities of algae and cyanobacteria on glaciers in west Greenland
    Uetake Jun; Naganuma Takeshi; Hebsgaard Martin Bay; Kanda Hiroshi; Kohshima Shiro, Polar science, 4, 1, 71, 80, May 2010
    Communities of algae and cyanobacteria on two glaciers in west Greenland (the Qaanaaq and Russel glaciers) were analyzed and compared with the aim of explaining why the Qaanaaq Glacier (in northwestern Greenland) has a dark-colored surface in satellite images whereas the Russel Glacier (in western central Greenland) has a light-colored surface. We found that algal andcyanobacterial communities differed between the glaciers and that the amount of biomass was higher on the colder glacier (Qaanaaq Glacier). The community on the Qaanaaq Glacier was composed mainly of green algae, whereas that on the Russel Glacier was dominated by cyanobacteria. Despite the shorter melting period (due to colder air temperature) for the QaanaaqGlacier, the biovolume of algae and cyanobacteria was 2.35 times higher than that on the Russel Glacier at a similar altitude, suggesting greater primary production on the Qaanaaq Glacier. We discuss the possible effects of temperature, nutrient concentrations, and cryoconite holes (melt-holes in the glacier) on the community structure and productivity of algae and cyanobacteria on each glacier, and consider the influence of the identified differences in algal and cyanobacterial communities on the amount of surface melt., National Institute of Polar Research, English

  • Spore-forming halophilic bacteria isolated from Arctic terrains: Implications for long-range transportation of microorganisms
    Yukimura Kise; Nakai Ryosuke; Kohshima Shiro; Uetake Jun; Kanda Hiroshi; Naganuma Takeshi, Polar science, 3, 3, 163, 169, Nov. 2009
    Organisms living in the Arctic terrains such as Greenland have to deal with low temperature conditions. The mechanisms by which bacteria resist to low temperature are largely unknown; however, a well-known survival strategy of the microorganisms inhabiting the Arctic is spore forming. Moreover, halophilic bacteria are often resistant to various stresses. We have attempted isolation of spore-forming halophilic bacteria from Arctic terrains. We isolated 10 strains of spore-forming halophilic bacteria from the samples collected from a glacial moraine in Qaanaaq, Greenland in July 2007. Identification based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities showed that the isolates were closely related to the Oceanobacillus, Ornithinibacillus, Virgibacillus, Gracilibacillus, and Bacillus genera. In addition, the 16S rRNA sequences of some isolates were extremely similar to those of strains from the desert sand in China (100% identity, near full length), the source of the so-called "yellow dust." Previous research indicated that yellow dust had been transported to Greenland by the wind. Our research implies the long-range transportation of these microorganisms to locations such as the Arctic., National Institute of Polar Research, English

    A 171m deep ice core from the surface to the bottom has been successfully drilled on the West Belukha snow-firn Plateau in the Russian Altai Mountains in the summer of 2003. The drill system used in this project was an electro-mechanical drill with a barrel 135cm long and 9.5cm in inner diameter manufactured by Geo Tecs Co., Japan. The maximum core length for a drilling run is 55cm. It took 87.5 hours in actual working time of 7 working days to drill the core down to the bottom of the glacier. The total number of drilling runs was 325. The mean length of the drilled core was 48.6cm. Most of the cores were not brittle and had a good cylindrical shape. High air temperature above the melting point in the drilling shelter caused some trouble in drilling. One of the major troubles was slip of cutters due to adhesion of cutting tips to the cutters and shoes., National Institute of Polar Research, English

    Meteorological observations were carried out on Sofiyskiy Glacier from July 7 to 17, 2001. Air temperature, relative humidity, wind direction, wind speed, atmospheric pressure and global radiation were measured with automatic instruments every ten minutes. Snow surface height was measured using a stake installed in the surface snow several times a day. The net gain of snow surface during the observation period was 268 mm. In the first half of the observation period, air temperature exceeded 3°C during the daytime, but air temperature never became positive during the latter half of the observation period. The heat balance was examined from the meteorological data. The values of estimated snowmelt and observed snowmelt correspond almost exactly., National Institute of Polar Research, English

    極地や高山に分布する氷河・積雪生態系には,低温でも繁殖可能な特殊な藻類である雪氷藻類が生息している。雪氷藻類が増えると雪氷面が暗色化し雪氷の融解を加速する効果があるため,その動態は世界的な注目を集めている。この雪氷藻類にツボカビという菌類が寄生すると大量死を引き起こしうる。さらに地球温暖化に伴い雪氷藻類へのツボカビ感染は蔓延拡大する可能性がある。そこで,本研究では世界で初めてツボカビと雪氷藻類の宿主寄生者関係を解明し,ツボカビが雪氷藻類に与える影響を評価し,温暖化によるツボカビ感染症動態の変化を予測するために,以下のことを行った。
    1)雪氷藻類とツボカビの宿主寄生者関係の把握
    試料は月山や八甲田など日本国内の積雪生態系から試料を採取し、解析に用いた。顕微鏡観察により各調査地の雪氷藻類へのツボカビ感染を確認すし、観察できた雪氷藻類寄生性ツボカビを1ペアずつ拾いDNA解析を行い(シングルセル解析),ツボカビと雪氷藻類との対応関係(宿主寄生者ネットワーク)を把握した。その結果、それぞれの地域に固有のツボカビが出現することが明らかとなった。
    2)感染症動態に及ぼす環境要因の解明
    アラスカ・グルカナ氷河において,標高や氷表面形態など環境条件の異なる複数の地点で同時期に集中的に試料採取を行った。ツボカビの感染度合(寄生率・多重感染度)を計数し、環境条件による違いを調べたところ、標高による差は顕著ではなかったが、同じ標高でも水たまり(クリオコナイトホール)で寄生率が高くなることが判明した。

    当初2020年度に予定していたアラスカ氷河の野外調査は,2021年度に予算繰り越しを行い実施する計画を立てていた.しかしながら,新型コロナ感染症の流行は収まることはなく,2021年度も海外野外調査を実施することはできなかった.その代わり,国内の積雪表面を対象に野外調査を実施し,さらに過去に採取された試料の分析をすすめた.国内の積雪では,雪氷藻類の繁殖が進んだ表面には,藻類お捕食者となるクマムシやワムシも多く存在することを発見し,論文で発表した(Ono et al., 2021).またアラスカの赤雪の分析を進めたところ,赤雪細胞の表面に大量の多糖類が分泌されていることが明らかになり,この多糖類が細胞の凝集効果を持っていることが明らかになり,論文に発表した(Folika et al., 2020).氷河表面の暗色化の原因物質の一つ,クリオコナイトについても過去に採取したサンプルの分析を進めた.クリオコナイトの粒構造分析を行なった結果,内部では嫌気条件となっており,そこに繁殖する嫌気的細菌類が特に窒素循環に重要な役割を果たしていることが明らかになった(Segawa et al., 2020).中央アジアの氷河ではアルベドの時空間変動が,クリオコナイトの表面量の変動で説明できることが明らかになった(Yue et al., 2020). さらに,クリオコナイトには放射性元素が特異的に濃縮していることも明らかになった(Baccolo et al., 2020).2021年度に繰り越した予算は,研究遂行に必須である雪氷試料の化学成分を分析するイオンクロマトグラフィーが故障したため,一部を新しく購入するために利用した.

    In this study, we investigated the changes of fungal community in soil collected from different season at the same sampling point of East Ongul Island, East Antarctica using by next generation sequencer.
    As a result of next generation sequence analysis, the fungal sequence data were classified to 128 OTU. By detailed analysis of the OTU about changes of the fungal community by different seasons (Spring and Autumn), the fungal community was dramatically changed by seasons. This is a first report about changes of the fungal community by seasons in Antarctica.

    We genetically analyzed microorganisms collected from the glaciers in various part of the world and found regional difference in species composition of bacteria and cyanobacteria in cryoconites, biogenic dark granules on the glacier that accelerate glacier melting. We could also identify symbiotic bacteria of glacier animals. We developed mathematical model simulating changes in cryoconite holes, melt holes on the glacier formed by cryoconite, to establish the mass valance model of the glacier including biological albedo reducing process.

    昨年度に行ったケニア山の氷河に生息している微生物の多様性に関する予備調査を踏まえ、氷河上での不均一性や同一地点での経年変化、また氷河周辺土壌に与える影響を評価するために、ルイス氷河において観測機器の回収、観測、サンプルの採取を行った。現地に設置したインターバルカメラの結果から、本氷河の融解による表面低下が非常に大きいことがわかり、設置期間中の2017年2月に氷河中流部の岩が露出し、ルイス氷河が上下に分断する様子を記録することができた。
    DNA分析の結果、同氷河が隣国のウガンダ、ルウェンゾリ山の氷河よりも中国、天山山脈や北極、スバールバードの氷河に生息している微生物の群集構造に近いことがわかり、氷河上の微生物が全球的な粒子の移動と循環の影響を受けている可能性を示した。

    From field observations on Greenland ice sheet, it was found that the contribution to albedo reduction in accumulation area by snow impurities such as black carbon (BC) is smaller than that by snow grain growth. Drastic surface melting event in July 2012 was accelerated by downward longwave radiation from low cloud. In ablation area, glacial microbes were contained in surface impurities and could contribute to the albedo reduction remarkably. Satellite remote sensing confirmed that the cause of darkening of ice sheet surface after 2000 is snow grain growth in accumulation area and the expansions of bare ice and dark area including glacial microbes in ablation area. We drilled a 223 m ice core in northwest Greenland ice sheet and analyzed the BC concentrations since 1660, which has a peak around 1920-1930 several times higher than the present value.

    We analyzed the ice core drilled under the international project North Greenland Eemian Ice Drilling. The air temperature during the warmest period of Eemian interglacial was warmer than the present by 8℃±4℃, which caused extensive surface melt in north Greenland. The thickness of the northwest Greenland ice sheet decreased by 400±250m during 6000 years, which was much smaller than that had been expected. Mass loss of Antarctic ice sheet should have played a role in sea-level rise during the Eemian. Variations of methane, nitrous oxide, noble gases in the air extracted from the ice core, and those of ionic species and bacterial cell concentrations in ice provided us with valuable information on changes in atmospheric circulation, vegetation, microbial activities, mean ocean temperature etc during the warm periods and abrupt warming events.

    Tropical regions are not well represented in glacier biology, yet many tropical glaciers are under threat of disappearance due to climate change. Here we report a novel biogenic aggregation at the terminus of a glacier in the Rwenzori Mountains, Uganda. The material was formed by uniseriate protonemal moss gemmae and protonema. Molecular analysis of five genetic markers determined the taxon as Ceratodon purpureus, a cosmopolitan species that is widespread in tropical to polar region. Given optimal growing temperatures of isolate is 20–30℃, the cold glacier surface might seem unsuitable for this species. However, the cluster of protonema growth reached approximately 10℃ in daytime, suggesting that diurnal increase in temperature may contribute to the moss’s ability to inhabit the glacier surface. The aggregation is also a habitat for microorganisms, and the disappearance of this glacier will lead to the loss of this unique ecosystem.

    In Dome Fuji ice core, filamentous bacteria-like particle, had not been observed in the surface, were found in some layers. As concentration of coccoid bacteria is high in the end of glacial age when dust particle concentration is high, these match suggest coccoid bacteria are transported by wind with other particles like dust. This result indicate similar tendency as previous study in Vostok, and support them. Otherwise, concentration of filamentous bacteria-like particle is high in mid-last glacial age and early-Holocene, and these have no relationship with dust particle.
