Purpose
|
|
To understand quantity, composition, and temporal and geographic distribution of sediment in ice of Arctic basin.
|
|
|
Summary
|
|
Ice and snow samples gathered from a series of stations reached by
|
|
helicopter and located by GPS. Sea-ice off northern Alaska was sampled, melted
|
|
and filtered for particulate matter. Bulk sediment samples were also gathered
|
|
for analysis of composition and radionuclide chemistry. Companion study of
|
|
organic chemistry and methane content of ice sediment and water column was
|
|
conducted by K. Kvenvolden (USGS), M. Lilly (University of Washington), and F.
|
|
Sansone (University of Hawaii). These samples have a different numbering scheme
|
|
than the ones referred to in the data bank notes.
