[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: Metadata record for ASAC projects 161 and 708. (ASAC_161, ASAC_708).

1993: 39 sea-ice cores were collected from 22 sample locations off the Vestfold Hills during October-November. Bacteria were isolated on-station from 16 of these cores. Remaining cores were frozen for later examination.

1994: 49 sea-ice cores and 41 associated brine samples were collected from various locations off the Vestfold ...
