Davis_STP_Chemistry_Methods
All scientific data collected by the Australian Antarctic program (AAp) are eventually described in the Catalogue of Australian Antarctic and Subantarctic Metadata (CAASM). CAASM can be used to search through AAp data descriptions, and it also provides links to access publicly available datasets, which can either be immediately downloaded or obtained from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AADC).

Description
This document details the analytical methods used to determine a range of chemical and physical properties of the wastewater effluent from Davis Station and of marine sediments collected from shallow waters (5 to 25 m) around the Vestfold Hills and Davis Station. This was done as part of a study examining the environmental impacts of the Davis Station wastewater outfall in early 2010.
See Davis_STP metadata record for further information on the project.
Quality
Some of the compounds analysed were below method detection limits or reporting limits. In some cases this was due to very small sample quantities, making detection difficult due to insufficient material.
Access
The methods document is not yet publicly available.
