Brief description
This dataset contains the abundance of diatom species found in the surface sediments from cores collected as part of the CEAMARC (Collaborative East Antarctic Marine Census) mission. The cores were collected from the George V basin along the Antarctic coast. Latitude, longitude and water depth data are included for each site. Sediments were prepared following standard diatom preparation techniques (Rathburn et al 1997).Lineage
Progress Code: completedNotes
PurposeThe purpose of the data set is to catalogue the distribution of diatoms within surface sediments along the Antarctic coast.
