Soils in the Ross Sea Region of Antarctica generally comprise a surface desert pavement
and a seasonally thawed active layer over permafrost. Most soils are formed on regolith …

We mapped surficial deposits, soils and permafrost features in the central-western Wright
Valley, Antarctica, from Lake Vanda in the east to near the mid-part of the South Fork in the …

In the coastal regions of Antarctica, soil formation occurs to a greater extent than previously
thought (Blume et al. 1997; Beyer et al. 1999). Soil formation can be found in accordance …

We provide a map of lower and central Taylor Valley, Antarctica, that shows deposits from
Taylor Glacier, local alpine glaciers, and grounded ice in the Ross Embayment. From our …

Year-round temperature measurements at 1600 m elevation during 1994 in the Asgard
Range Antarctica, indicate that the mean annual frost point of the ice-cemented ground, 25 …

The McMurdo Valleys Mapping Project (VALMAP) contains soils data collected from 473
sites in the McMurdo Dry Valleys (77° 07.5–78° 00'S; 160°-164° E), Antarctica. The …

This book divides Antarctica into eight ice-free regions and provides information on the soils
of each region. Soils have been studied in Antarctica for nearly 100 years. Although only …

Abstract The Antarctic Peninsula (AP) marks the climatic transition between maritime and dry
subpolar Antarctica. The western side of the AP has a mean annual air temperature (MAAT) …

We investigated over 180 soil profiles on 15 drift units ranging from Recent to Pliocene or
older in age in Wright Valley, Antarctica. The drifts originate from (1) post-valley cutting by an …

MacRobertson Land is the portion of Antarctica lying south of the Mawson Coast between
59° 34′ E and 72° 35′ E. At 5,400 km 2, MacRobertson Land constitutes the third largest …
