Abstract:
The Dry Valleys Drilling Project (DVDP) was predominately an international project between scientists from New Zealand, the US, and Japan, which drilled 14 holes in the Dry Valleys of Antarctica (especially Lake Vanda, Don Juan Pond, Lake Vida, Lake Fryxell, Lake Bonney, New Harbour, Marble Point, Lake Leon and North Fork), on Ross Island (Cape Evans, Cape Royds, Cape Barne), McMurdo Sound, the
... Walcott Glacier, and with test holes near McMurdo Station. The areas investigated have a series of independent analyses of Antarctic Geochronology, Paleoclimatology, and Paleomagnetism. For references to the results see the DVDP Bulletin Series prepared at the Dept. of Geology, Northern Illinois University, DeKalb Illinois. http://www.arf.fsu.edu/ Auxillary programs in the valleys that were affiliated with DVDP, included extensive geochemical studies of soils, geothermal measurements in boreholes, a hydrogeological program in the boreholes and lakes, additional lake geochemistry and a feasibility study for an earthquake seismology program.
