Abstract:
Sediment was collected from a range of ponds from the McMurdo Ice Shelf and returned to New Zealand for laboratory studies. Samples were incubated in long term incubators to determine the relative importance of sulphate and carbon dioxide as terminal electron acceptors in degradation of organic material.
Quality
There are no remaining sediment samples in existence. Some data on the physical characteristics of sediments are held with the investigator. Please contact him for more information.
