MARC recordThe Antarctic sub-glacial Lake Vostok: glaciology, biology and planetology / Igor A. Zotikov.
| Title: | The Antarctic sub-glacial Lake Vostok: glaciology, biology and planetology / Igor A. Zotikov. |
| Author(s): | Zotikov, Igor A. |
| Date: | 2006. |
| Publisher: | Berlin: Springer ; |
| Abstract: | Multi-disciplinary account of Lake Vostok, Antarctica. Topics include glaciology of central East Antarctic Ice Sheet, heat balance at bottom of ice sheet, critical thickness and bottom melting; radio echo sounding surveys, seismic determinations, satellite altimetry data and other surface evidence of sub-glacial lakes, and history of discovery of Lake Vostok; critical review of data on biological inclusions in Vostok ice core, ecology of Lake Vostok water and micro-organisms; applications to planetary studies and plans to penetrate ice cover of Europa and subglacial lakes beneath Martian ice; and comparative analysis of methods of penetrating ice sheet, with particular reference to possible contamination. |
