Summary
Abstract: To measure how quickly soils respond to oil spills, JP5 jet fuel was spilled onto contained soil cores at Scott Base. 105 PVC soil cores (10 cm x 30 cm deep) capped at the bottom sitting in plastic containers were embedded in soil near Scott Base level with the ground surface and filled with soil from disturbed areas around Scott Base.
