About: Thiel Trough

An Entity of Type: crater, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Thiel Trough (81°30′S 57°0′W / 81.500°S 57.000°W) is a submarine trough trending NE-SW with depths reaching to 1,500 metres below sea level. The trough extends southwest from about 7630S, 3500W, in the Weddell Sea; underlies Filchner Ice Shelf and the south part of Ronne Ice Shelf, south of Henry Ice Rise; and continues west to about 8300S, 8500W, near Martin Hills. The portion northeast of the Henry Ice Rise was discovered in 1957-58 by a U.S. traverse party from Ellsworth Station and named "Crary Trough" after Albert P. Crary, chief scientist with the United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP). The southwest portion was traced by U.S. seismic traverse parties, 1958–64, and the whole delineated in greater detail by the Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI)-National Science Fou

dbo:abstract
  • Der Thiel Trough ist eine 1500 m unter dem Meeresspiegel liegende Tiefseerinne im antarktischen Weddell-Meer. Sie erstreckt sich in nordost-südwestlicher Ausdehnung von 76° 30′ S, 35° 0′ W unter dem Filchner-Ronne-Schelfeis südlich des Henry Ice Rise in westlicher Richtung bis etwa 83° 0′ S, 85° 0′ W nahe den Martin Hills im Festlandsockel des antarktischen Kontinents im Ellsworthland. US-amerikanische Wissenschaftler entdeckten den nordöstlichen Teil während eines Erkundungsmarsches von der Ellsworth-Station zum Henry Ice Rise zwischen 1957 und 1958. Sie benannten diesen Teil als Crary Trough nach dem Geophysiker Albert P. Crary (1911–1987), leitender Wissenschaftler des United States Antarctic Research Program. Der südwestliche Teil wurde von US-amerikanischen Seismologen zwischen 1958 und 1964 erkundet. Die komplette Ausdehnung ermittelten Wissenschaftler im Rahmen eines gemeinsamen Programms des Scott Polar Research Institute, der National Science Foundation und Dänemarks Technischer Universität durch luftunterstützte Sonarortung zwischen 1967 und 1979. Das Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names nahm auf Vorschlag Crarys 1975 eine Benennung des gesamten Objekts vor. Namensgeber ist Edward C. Thiel (1928–1961), leitender Seismologe auf der Ellsworth-Station zwischen 1956 und 1958, der am 9. November 1961 gemeinsam mit vier weiteren Passagieren beim Absturz einer Lockheed P-2 kurz nach dem Start von der Wilkes-Station ums Leben gekommen war. (de)

The southwest portion was traced by U.S. seismic traverse parties, 1958–64, and the whole delineated in greater detail by the Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI)-National Science Foundation (NSF)-Technical University of Denmark (TUD) airborne radio echo sounding program, 1967–79. The name "Crary Trough" was later set aside by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) at the suggestion of Crary, who recommended that the entire trough be named after Edward C. Thiel (1928–1961). Thiel was the chief seismologist at Ellsworth Station from 1956 to 1958, the leader of the traverse party that discovered this feature, and he died in an air crash at Wilkes Station in Antarctica.
