The Vestfold Hills
Sampling in theVestfold Hills is being carried out by partners from the Unversity of Nottingham and BAS with the logistical support of the Australian Antarctic Division. The field sampling program is being carried out from the Australian Davis station.Sampling in water bodies will comprise both the collection of samples for water chemistry as well as the collection of surface sediment samples and long cores from selected water bodies. The sites will be chosen to cover the entire salinity gradient of the lakes. Physical and chemical analysis of the water will be carried out at the time of sampling.
Field sampling in the Vestfold Hills was carried out by Johanna Laybourn-Parry,
Gareth Murtagh, Paul Dyer, Ingmar Janse, Tracey Henshaw and Wendy Quayle
with assistance from Davis personnel (Mark Clear, Tony Morland and others).
