Full description
These data describe the physicochemistry and metal content of soils collected from 11 sites around Casey and Wilkes stations in the Windmill Islands, East Antarctica during the 2017-2018 summer season for project AAS4326. Four metal fractions are reported in these data: (1) diffusive gradient in thin-film, DGT, labile fraction; (2) water-soluble fraction; (3) dilute-acid extractable fraction, and; (4) total recoverable metal fraction.The excel spreadsheet contains a number of worksheets which explain acronyms and units used as well as several sheets of data.

PurposeThese data were used to compare the DGT-method for measuring labile metal concentrations in soils to traditional chemical extractants. These data will support the validation of DGT for use in metal-contaminant environmental monitoring and impact assessment in Antarctica.
Data time period: 2017-12-14 to 2018-02-10
