Stream Chemistry - Dissolved Organic Carbon
Abstract:
As part of the Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) project in the McMurdo Dry
Valleys of Antarctica, a systematic aqueous geochemical sampling program has been undertaken.
A series of terrestrial water samples have been collected and analyzed for dissolved organic
carbon levels. This dataset shows concentrations of dissolved organic carbon found in various
streams of the McMurdo Dry Valleys.
