Investigation of the weathering processes and quaternary geology in the Wright Valley and the elevated beach ridges of Marble Point and investigation of the dykes at the Nussbaum Riegel
Entry ID: K042_1966_1967_NZ_1

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: The weathering processes and quaternary geology was investigated in the Wright Valley, mostly near Lake Vanda but as far east as the Meserve Glacier, the Taylor Valley and at Marble Point. Igneous dykes were also investigated at the Nussbaum Riegel in the Taylor Valley. Within the Wright Valley, several weeks were spent in a previous season in the Lake Vanda region and some tentative conclusions ... View entire text
