Sea level change and environmental evolution of coastal lakes in Vestfold Hills, Antarctica
Ecological and palaeoecological studies were carried out in the series of lakes in the Vestfold Hills (68°38'S, 78°06'E) on eastern Antarctic continent. Dynamics types of the lakes in environmental geomorphology and physic-chemistry, as well as features of biological community structures i...
