Abstract The South Shetland Islands archipelago is dynamically complex due to its tectonic
surroundings. Most islands are part of a formerly active volcanic arc, although Deception …

New GPS measurements demonstrate tectonic segmentation of the South Shetland Islands
platform, regarded as a microplate separating the Antarctic Peninsula from the oceanic …

Abstract The South Shetland Trench (SST) northwest of the South Shetland Islands is the
only trench along the Pacific margin of the Antarctic Peninsula. Multichannel seismic …

We present new isobases constraining the Holocene isostatic uplift of the South Shetland
Islands, northern Antarctic Peninsula, based on evidence from raised shorelines. Holocene …

The Bransfield Strait, located between the South Shetland Islands and the north-western
end of the Antarctic Peninsula, is a back-arc basin transitional between rifting and …

We present results from seismic stratigraphical analysis of a regional grid of intermediate-
resolution seismic profiles from the Antarctic Peninsula continental shelf that reveal greater …

About 30% of ice draining the West Antarctic Ice Sheet discharges through several glacier
systems into the Amundsen Sea Embayment (ASE)(Fig. 1a). Two major ice-stream outlets …

Abstract The Bransfield Basin, a marginal basin located northwest of the Antarctic Peninsula,
has been habitually considered as a backarc basin associated with the rollback process that …

Abstract During the Last Glacial Maximum, grounded ice from the expanded Antarctic
Peninsula Ice Sheet extended across the continental shelf. Grounded and flowing ice …
