Hotspots (density), and standard distance (dispersion) of scientific field studies in the McMurdo Dry Valleys from 1907–2016.

The minimum bounding polygon for all historic and current field camps (with 20 km buffer), and the McMurdo Dry Valleys Antarctic Specialty Managed Area (ASMA) boundary are included for reference. Note that the density surface is displayed with a stretch (gamma = 4) to highlight mid-range values. An...

Description
Summary:The minimum bounding polygon for all historic and current field camps (with 20 km buffer), and the McMurdo Dry Valleys Antarctic Specialty Managed Area (ASMA) boundary are included for reference. Note that the density surface is displayed with a stretch (gamma = 4) to highlight mid-range values. An animation showing these data through time is available in the S1 Video .
