Soil and salt samples and geological observations from high altitude sites in the Upper Taylor Valley to determine the history of the Antarctic environment through the composition of salts in soils
Entry ID:
K105_1997_1998_NZ_1
Summary
Abstract:
To understand the processes of Antarctic soils as they affect the composition and distributions of salts and ice in and below the soils, the salts in very old soils and paleosols were investigated. High altitude soils are less disturbed by glaciations over longer periods and so four pits at high altitudes (old surface sites, representing range in age, location relative to the sea and lithology) in ...
