McMurdo Dry Valleys Limnological Chemistry, Ion Concentrations and Silicon

As part of the Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) project in the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica, a systematic aqueous geochemical sampling program has been undertaken. A series of terrestrial water samples have been collected and analyzed for major ion chemistry by ion chromatography. The concentrations of ions cover a wide range of total dissolved solids from fresh to hypersaline lake waters. This dataset shows concentrations of lithium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, chloride, bromide, silicon, fluoride, SO4, and dissolved inorganic carbon found in various depths of Taylor Valley lakes.

本数据集作为南极洲麦克默多干谷长期生态研究（Long Term Ecological Research, LTER）项目的一部分，已系统性开展水地球化学采样工作。研究团队采集了一系列陆地水样，并通过离子色谱法对其中的主要离子化学特征进行分析。所测得的离子浓度覆盖了从淡水到高盐湖水中的各类总溶解固体浓度范围。本数据集记录了泰勒谷不同深度湖水中锂、钠、钾、镁、钙、氯离子、溴离子、硅、氟离子、SO₄以及溶解无机碳的浓度数据。
