An emerging body of evidence from studies of the last glacial/interglacial cycle suggests that
the East and West Antarctic ice sheets have not advanced and retreated in concert. The …

Grounding-zone wedges (GZWs) are asymmetric sedimentary depocentres which form
through the rapid accumulation of glacigenic debris along a line-source at the grounding …

A new model of the last deglaciation event of the Late Quaternary ice age is here described
and denoted as ICE‐6G_C (VM5a). It differs from previously published models in this …

To understand how planet Earth works we study it increasingly as a system–a collection of
interdependent parts or spheres–the lithosphere, the hydrosphere, the cryosphere, the …

The isolation of the Southern Ocean after the opening of Drake Passage some 23–25 million
years ago, the formation of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, the subsequent cooling of the …

Reductions in the thickness and extent of Antarctic ice shelves are triggering increased
discharge of marine-terminating glaciers. While the impacts of recent changes are well …

Sedimentologic, geotechnical, geochemical, and accelerator mass spectrometer (AMS)
radiocarbon data from two marine geologic cruises in the Ross Sea have allowed us to …

Environmental conditions fostering marine communities around Antarctica differ
fundamentally from those in the rest of the world's oceans, particularly in terms of …

Abstract The East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) is the largest continental ice mass on Earth, and
documenting its evolution since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) is important for …

Palmer Deep sediment cores are used to produce the first high-resolution, continuous late
Pleistocene to Holocene time-series from the Antarctic marine system. The sedimentary …
