The geology and geomorphology of Macquarie Island with special emphasis on heavy metal trace element distribution.

This dataset is a record of new geological and geomorphological relationships established on Macquarie Island (54:38.S, 158:53.E), as per ANARE Research Notes 39: The geology and geomorphology of Macquarie Island with special emphasis on heavy metal trace element distribution.

This study was undertaken between October 1983 and October 1984 and was specifically designed to provide information on a number of topics not fully covered by earlier research. These topics included geomorphology, with special emphasis on the evolution of composite landforms; general geology with special emphasis on field relations of the major rock groups; the sulphide occurrences; and trace element distributions, especially of heavy metals, in both mineralised and unmineralised rock types.
