Investigation into cryoconite holes at a cold based glacier, Wright Lower Glacier, Wright Valley, Antarctica
Entry ID:
K064_2004_2007_NZ_3
Summary
Abstract:
Investigation into cryoconite hole chemistry, surface area cover and construction was investigated as part of wider project looking at the seasonal melt regime of the Wright Lower Glacier. Chemistry: Water samples were collected from cryoconite hole water at 10 location on the surface of the glacier. Samples were collected with a syringe after drilling a hole in the ice lid and samples were ...
