Project aim
This project aims to understand the production, transport and deposition of sedimentary particles in the shallow marine environment around Casey Station as a contribution to understanding and managing the impact of anthropogenic pollutants in the area. It also seeks to develop a sedimentological model of the shallow marine environment of a rocky Antarctic coast that may be useful in understanding similar areas.
