Sulfur Gas Program in the Vestfold Hills, Davis 1987

A scanned copy of a report written by R. Garrick and John Gibson on the sulfur gas program at Davis Station in 1987. The study was conducted on a number of saline lakes in the Vestfold Hills.Taken from the scanned report:Considerable effort has, in the last ten years, been levelled at determining the biological source and role of dimethylsulfide (DMS), a compound now thought to have a great deal of importance not only in the atmospheric sulfur cycle but also the control of weather. Investigations have largely been of three types: in vivo studies of production in the ocean, in vivo studies of production in lakes and in vitro studies of both production and role in cultures of particular micro-organisms. The 1987 Davis water biology program looked at aspects of all three as evidenced in the environments found in the area of the Vestfold Hills. The project was divided into three sections:1) Investigation of seasonal variations in the DMS levels in the ocean offshore from Davis.2) Investigation of the DMS levels in the highly saline lakes of the Vestfold Hills.3) Isolation and study, with respect to their sulfur gas biogeochemistry, of bacteria and algae from the lakes.This scanned report deals with point 2.

本数据集为R·加里克（R. Garrick）与约翰·吉布森（John Gibson）于1987年撰写的关于戴维斯站（Davis Station）硫气体项目的报告扫描件。该项研究针对维斯特福尔兹丘陵（Vestfold Hills）内的多处咸水湖展开。
本扫描报告摘述如下：近十年来，学界已投入大量精力探究二甲基硫（dimethylsulfide，DMS）的生物来源与作用。该化合物如今被认为不仅在大气硫循环中具有重要意义，还对天气调控有着关键影响。相关研究大致可分为三类：海洋中二甲基硫产生的活体实验研究、湖泊中二甲基硫产生的活体实验研究，以及针对特定微生物培养物中二甲基硫产生与作用的体外实验研究。
1987年戴维斯站水生生物学项目针对维斯特福尔兹丘陵区域的环境，对上述三类研究的相关内容均有所涉及。该项目分为三个部分：
1) 戴维斯站近岸海域二甲基硫浓度的季节变化研究
2) 维斯特福尔兹丘陵高盐湖体中二甲基硫浓度的研究
3) 从湖体中分离细菌与藻类，并针对其硫气体生物地球化学特征开展研究
本扫描报告聚焦于第二部分内容。
