Stream Scanned Field Notes

Summary

Abstract: 

As part of the Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) project in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica, a systematic sampling program has been undertaken to monitor the glacial meltwater streams in that region. The table contains scanned images of handwritten field notes

Date Range: 

Monday, January 1, 1990 to Tuesday, March 31, 2015

The stream scanned field notes has a special query page (follow link here) that allows you to filter and download the scanned file directly. The comma separated values file has a list of the existing scanned field notes.
