Sediment profile characterisation at contaminated and reference locations in the Windmill Islands, East Antarctica
Sediment profiles for pH, Eh, 28 elements, water and organic content are presented here for human impacted and reference locations in the Windmill Islands, East Antarctica. Variations in element concentrations are observed with increasing depth, especially at Brown Bay where the impact of past human...
