A Preliminary Assessment of the Potential Application of Glaciochemical Investigations on Heard Island South Indian Ocean

Abstract Analyses of fluoride, chloride, sodium, sulfate, bromide, nitrate, and iron from a 3 m snow pit on Heard Island, collected at an elevation of 2450, m are used to assess the potential of glaciochemical studies on. Heard Island glaciers. Sources for the chemical species are identified and, in...

Description
Summary:Abstract Analyses of fluoride, chloride, sodium, sulfate, bromide, nitrate, and iron from a 3 m snow pit on Heard Island, collected at an elevation of 2450, m are used to assess the potential of glaciochemical studies on. Heard Island glaciers. Sources for the chemical species are identified and, in particular, chloride, sodium, and sulfate are found to be useful seasonal indicators. The total record measured is believed to be less than one mass-balance year.
