Vestfold salts database, analyses and photographs
Entry ID:
Vestfold_salts
Summary
Abstract:
A regional chemical boundary termed the 'salt line', in the Vestfold Hills of East Antarctica, was investigated using X-ray diffraction and electron probe analyses of surficial salts, and conductivity of surficial sediments. West of the salt line, halite and thenardite are abundant. These salts are derived from dispersal of marine aerosols, saturation of sediment by seawater during postglacial ...

1. surficial sediments are a complete data set of the Vestfold Hills at 1 km grid spacing.
2. salts were collected where found. The sample spacing is therefore irregular and may need updating in the future. Also, some areas (e.g. rookeries) were avoided and sample collection in those areas may be fruitful. 3. XRD analysis at The University of Newcastle (Australia), Royal ...
