Palmer Station Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) R/V Polar Duke Marine Carbon Cycling Cruise Data, November 1992

Data was collected during the Austral spring LTER time-series R/V
Polar Duke marine carbon cycling cruise.

Several independent, but complementary research objectives addressed
various aspects of the marine carbon cycle including experimental
studies of microbial loop processes. Studies ranged in scope from the
deployment of an array of bottom-moored sediment traps, to in situ
photographic measurements of particulate matter, to measurements of
the response of bacterioplankton to increases in temperature and
additions in organic substrates. Research efforts also focused on
autotrophic rate processes, krill biology, benthic protozoa and sulfur
cycling.
