Title: R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer NBP0603 - Paleohistory of the Larsen Ice Shelf System

Description:

Abstract:

The NSF-supported research icebreaker Nathaniel B. Palmer operates year-round in support of the U.S. Antarctic Program, carrying out global change studies in biological, chemical, physical, and oceanographic disciplines. This data set consists of underway data from leg NBP0603 on the R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer. This leg started at Punta Arenas, Chile and ended at Punta Arenas, Chile.
