Chlorophyll-A Concentrations in Lakes

An important part of the McMurdo Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) project is monitoring of spatial and temporal patterns, and processes that control primary production in perennial ice-covered lakes. This data set addresses this core area of research and quantifies chlorophyll-a concentrations at specific depths in McMurdo Dry Valley lakes.

Lakes Dissolved Organic Compounds Fluorescence Analysis

As part of the Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) project in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica, a series of bodies of water (stream and lakes) have been monitored for dissolved organic compounds.  Using fluorometers to detect the emission signatures of several organic compounds, we re-analize water samples acquired in the context of other MCM LTER monitoring programs.
