Description
Summary:After several years preparations, the 13th Chinese Antarctic Research Expedition (CHINARE) successfully carried out an investigation of Ice Sheet in a range of 330 km from Zhongshan Station to inland of Antarctica in 1996 - 1997. In this investigation, surveys were made of the mass balance features, meteorological characteristics and snow pit strata, and samples from the surface, snow pit and ice core were collected. This investigation attaches emphasis on the mass balance of ice sheet, the environment evolution in the last 200 a and the exchange process of ice-snow with atmosphere.
