Evaluation of Human Imapacts on the Surficial and Underground Hydrology of Potter Cove, King George Island, Antarctica

In English: Evaluation of Human Imapacts on the Surficial and Underground Hydrology of Potter Cove, King George Island, Antarctica This project, which began in 2002 and is scheduled for completion in 2004, involves the study of both above and below surface hydrological systems on Potter Cove, King George Island, Antarctica. The study evaluates the impacts of local human activity on the hydrodynamics and water quality of these systems.

The goal is to identify environmental risks and disturbances in order to create a conceptual model for monitoring the quality and evolution of these hydrological systems in future years. ***************** En Espanol: Hidrologia superficial y subterranea, de Caleta Potter, isla 25 de Mayo. Antartida. Evaluacion del aporte antropico Este Proyecto a realizarse durante los anos 2002 al 2004 se estudiara la caracterizacion hidrodinamica e hidroquimica de los sistemas hidricos superficial y subterraneo de caleta Potter, evaluando las posible perturbations y riesgos de la actividad antropica local sobre los mismos, identificando las principales fuentes de perturbacion y riesgo y elaborando un modelo conceptual que permita monitorear la evolucion de la calidad del sistema en los proximos anos.
