 ====================================================================

 The BAS MDMS is maintained by the Antarctic Environmental Data Centre
(AEDC), the designated repository of the Natural Environment Research
Council (NERC) for UK Antarctic data.   All aspects of Antarctic science are
represented in the system, including:

* Ice bed topography
* Long-term ozone monitoring records
* Sedimentary records from Antarctic and Sub-Antarctic lakes
* Long-term meteorological records
* Climate models
* Ice-core records
* Physical and biological oceanography
* Mapping, GIS and GPS data
* Atmospheric chemistry

The MDMS boasts:

* Simple free-text searches
* Advanced free-text, geographical and date-range searches
* Gazeteer of Antarctic place names
* Comprehensive on-line help

The MDMS now contains several hundred publicly-available metadata records
which can be accessed from http://www.nerc-bas.ac.uk:8000/query/
