Biogenic sediment history from diatom remains in cores along Wilkes Land

Additional silica-selective slides of the surface sediments on the continental shelf were processed for quantitative assessment. Details of the samples and their locations are listed in the file sediment_samples.csv in the downloadable dataset. There have been no publications from the prepared slides as of the 15/04/02.

An unpublished Honours Thesis uses limited diatom counts from slides prepared from PC 12. (Ms J. Erbs 2001). Title to be forthcoming.
