The chemistry of air and snow at a remote site on the Ross Ice Shelf was conducted to study atmospheric aerosol particulates which are of interest as they may be important regulators of climate and can indicate the relative strengths of natural and man-made sources of aerosol on a global scale. A range of air and snow samples were collected throughout the study period. Aerosol particulates were co

More than twenty years ago the Instituto Antartico Argentino initiated ice-cores studies in the Antarctic Peninsula. It also carried out the first work of this type in the Argentine central Andes. Until recently, sample analyses were performed in two prestigious French Laboratories in the frame of a joint cooperation. However, installation of the Laboratorio de Estratigrafia Glaciar y Geoquimica d

[Adapted from the Geological Survey of Japan Sample Reference Standards Abstracts Page, 'http://www.aist.go.jp/RIODB/geostand/gsj1maine.html'] The Geological Survey of Japan (GSJ) has issued 31 rock reference samples for the analysis of major, minor and trace elements, isotopic compositions and isotopic ages. The purpose of this standard reference material project in Geological Survey of Japan is

This product is geochemistry research data collected as part of the National Antarctic Research Projects. The data consist of files comprising precise location of 152 volcanic rock samples and their unpublished geochemical data (major and trace elements) from the Jason Peninsula, Seal Nunataks, and Potter Peninsula (King George Island and South Shetland Islands).

A large freshwater ecosystem on the McMurdo Ice Shelf and the lower Koettlitz Glacier, in the Ross Dependency, is an area some 1500 km2 . The area is covered by pools, lakes, streams and rivers, many of which contain abundant growths of algae and cyanobacteria. The RISE (Ross Ice Shelf Ecosystem) programme was initiated in 1985 to gain an understanding of this ecosystem. A general survey of the ma

Chemical assessment data for selected heavy metals determined for the abandoned waste disposal site at Thala Valley, Casey Station, over two seasons (pre- and during cleanup). 2002-03 summer: assessment of site, method testing * samples TV001 to TV073 * spatial data determined using electronic theodolite * total metals by XRF (mg/kg dry soil) * leachable metals by TCLP/flame-AAS (mg/L extract) - i

We have completed metal separation for about 190 meteorites and dissolved 160 metal samples for 36Cl (half-life = 0.3 Myr) measurements. All Cl fractions were isolated from other elements and purified for analysis by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) at Purdue University. We saved silicate fractions for further studies including noble gas analysis or 14C measurements. The 36Cl AMS measurements f

Four samples of surface soils, one with shoots of an unidentified moss species, were collected from a geothermal site on the northwest slope of volcanic Mt. Melbourne (northwest Victoria Land, continental Antarctica) to determine physico-chemical properties, isolate existing strains of etherotrophic microorganisms, and identify the moss species through molecular genetic techniques. Surface soils f
