B-420 - Dry Valleys Freshwater Inorganic Geochemistry


PI: Dr. Berry Lyons
Project Lead: Fred Ogden
Funding Source: NSF/PLR 0423595
Location: McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica
Dates: 2010-01-23 to 2010-06-22

Project Summary

As part of the broader McMurdo LTER project, researchers from this project will monitor the inorganic geochemistry of waters collected from the glaciers, streams, ponds, and lakes of the Dry Valleys; study upland seeps and ponds to gain a better understanding of their hydrologic and geochemical controls; and continue to work with co-PIs conducting lake, stream, and glacier sampling programs.
