Description
This paper reports some results on natural and artificial radionuclide distribution in snow samples collected at the Priestly Neve-Plateau (inland, 1998 m a.s.l.) and the Vegetation Island (near the coast, 200 m a.s.l.) stations, and in a soil samples from Wood Bay station, both near the Italian Base at Terranova Bay in Antarctica. Data on Pb-210 and Cs-137 in snow samples from an 80 cm deep trench and in granulometric fractions of a soil core are discussed. (author)
