The field work concluded with a successful completion of two major coastal to inland transects covering a total distance of 380 km and a maximum elevation of 3000 m a.s.l. These transects fall in two different sectors of East Antarctica - the central Dronning Maud Land facing the Atlantic sector and the Princess Elizabeth Land facing the Indian sector of the Southern Ocean. This study ensures the collection of snow cores of the same age from two distinct regions, which helps in understanding the contrasts in spatial variation of biogeochemical cycling of various chemical species as well as of the factors affecting various proxies brought about by the changes in the surrounding ocean. The coupling of isotope and chemical profiles from two regions will help in understanding various atmospheric and oceanic processes influencing the seasonality of snow chemistry. This work will contribute to the data integration in the snow chemistry database initiated by the International Trans Antarctic Scientific Expedition (ITASE). completed principalInvestigator National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research (NCPOR) 8322525515 voice Headland Sada, Vasco da Gama, Goa 403804 Vasco-da-Gama Goa 403804 IND ictd@ncpor.res.in Dr. Mahalinganathan K 20.0 140.0 -90.0 30.0 2008-01-01 2009-12-31 Earth Science-Land Surface Theme Part of cDML Antarctic Place Studies on surface and sub-surface snow samples from the coastal and inland regions of East Antarctica Project eng TableDigital unknown unknown unknown distributor National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research (NCPOR) +91-832-2525515 voice Headland Sada, Vasco da Gama, Goa 403804 Vasco-da-Gama Goa 403804 IND vssamy@ncpor.res.in Mr. Sakthivel Samy V http://npdc.ncpor.res.in/npdc/search_mf_data.action?search=freeText&expedition_type=all&parameter=MF1070239106&userType=user&freeTextValue=Studies+on+surface+and+sub-surface+snow+samples+from+the+coastal+and+inland+regions+of+East+Antarctica.
