Ice core profiles from lake ice in the McMurdo Dry Valleys

Additionally, geochemical and biological parameters for samples collected from glaciers in the McMurdo Dry Valleys are also available. The following parameters are available for the ice core depth profiles: sediment dry weight, chlorophyll a, particulate organic matter, particulate organic nitrogen, particulate phosphorous, primary production, bacterial abundance, bacterial production, ammonium, nitrate, nitrite, soluble reactive phosphorous, Iron, Chloride, Bromide, Sulfate, Lithium, Sodium, Potassium,Magnesium, and Calcium.

Methods for the bilological parameters and ion chemistry followed the same methods at the McMurdo Dry Valleys LTER program and and can be found at the McMurdo LTER websites: "huey.colorado.edu/LTER/lakedata.html" for methods regarding biological parameters and "huey.colorado.edu/LTER/streamdata.html" for ion chemistry measures.
