Quality

The Japanese geochemical studies in the McMurdo Dry Valleys region started in the 1963/64 field seasons when the geochemists were invited to conduct investigations in the area. Investigations continued in the area until th 1986/87 field season. The New Zealand Antarctica program supported work from the 1970/71 seasons to the 1986/87 season. The extensive studies provide geochemical data including general characteritics, major and trace elements, nutrients, organic matter, stable and radioisotope data and secondary minerals of lakes, ponds and their surroundings. The data is summarised in a single publications: Torii, T. (Editor in Chief). 1994. JARE DATA REPORTS No. 199, Japanese Geochemical Data in the McMurdo Dry Valleys and on Ross Island, Antarctica. National Institute of Polar Research, Tokyo, Japan. ISSN 0075-3343 which is available online (see the GET DATA link). This publication lists all of the publications that resulted from these studies up until 1994 and contains all of the data summarised for each site.
