Summary
Abstract: Preliminary Metadata record for data expected from ASAC Project 782
See the link below for public details on this project.

A total of 67 diatom species were found from the surface sediment of 33 lakes in the Vestfold Hills, Antarctica. Water chemistry (including salinity, nutrients and major ions) is available for each of the 33 lakes sampled.
