Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from the Albatross 1884 stations

he exploration of the Gulf Stream region was continued in 1884, under nearly the same conditions as in 1883, by the steamer Albatross, Lieut. Z. L. Tanner, commander. During the four trips, between July 20 and Sept. 13, sixty nine dredgings (at stations 2170 to 2238) were made. The results were highly satisfactory, both in the way of physical observatidns and zoological discoveries. In some localities, in 1000 to 1600 fathoms, the bottom was found covered with 0or largely composed of hard, very irregular, flattened, crust-like concretions of clay and iron-oxide, with more or less manganese?oxide in the crevices and worm-burrows with which they are filled. Sometimes a barrel-full, or more, of such masses were brought up, varying in size from a few ounces up to 20 pounds or more in weight alld from one inch to six inches in thickness.

Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from NORTHERN HOLIDAY Expedition stations

The cores described in this report were taken on the NORTHERN HOLIDAY Expedition in August to September 1951 by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography from the R/V Horizon. A total of 19 cores and dredges were recovered and are available at Scripps for sampling and study.

Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits from DRAKAR cruise stations

The cores and dredges described at this site were taken on the DRAKAR cruise from 1 March until 1 April 1983 by the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle from the R/V Marion Dufresne. A total of 45 cores and dredges were recovered along with underwater camera runs. They are available at MNHN for sampling and study.

High-resolution digital elevation model (DEM) of a thermokarst depression in Siberian ice-rich permafrost deposits

This data set provides a high-resolution digital elevation model (DEM) of a thermokarst depression (~7 km²) on ice-complex deposits in the Arctic Lena Delta, Siberia. The DEM based on a geodetic field survey and was used for quantitative land surface analyses and detailed description of the thermokarst depression morphology. Detailed morphometrical analyses, volume calculations, and solar radiation modeling were performed and statistically analyzed by Ulrich et al. (2010) to investigate the asymmetrical thermokarst depression development and directed lake migration previously proposed by Morgenstern et al. (2008). Furthermore, the high-resolution DEM in combination with satellite data allowed detailed analyses of spatial and temporal landscape changes due to thermokarst development (Günther, 2009).
