Summary

Abstract: Metadata record for data from ASAC Project 2691
See the link below for public details on this project.

Contaminants may persist in marine sediments and be re-suspended during storms or by the activity of animals. This project will assess the impact of contaminated sediments on plants and animals that live directly above the sediment. Rocky-reef organisms form a large component of Antarctica's ...
