Information to be Derived:
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Ice and snow samples gathered from a series of stations reached by helicopter and located by GPS. Sea-ice off northern Alaska was sampled, melted and filtered for particulate matter. Bulk sediment samples were also gathered for analysis of composition and radionuclide chemistry. Companion study of organic chemistry and methane content of ice sediment and water column was conducted by K. Kvenvolden (USGS), M. Lilly (University of Washington), and F. Sansone (University of Hawaii). These samples have a different numbering scheme than the ones referred to in the data bank notes.
