Continental Shelf Record of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet Evolution:...
The late Quaternary ice sheet/ice shelf extent in the George V Basin (East Antarctica) has been reconstructed through analyses of Chirp sub-bottom profiles, integrated with... -
Seismic Stratigraphy and Sediment Distribution on the Wilkes Land and Terre...
Seismic reflection data show the existence of two major sedimentary basins along the continental margin of Wilkes Land and Terre Adélie, East Antarctica, that contain more than... -
Late Neogene Ice Drainage Changes in Prydz Bay, East Antarctica and the...
During the late Neogene, the Lambert Glacier-Amery Ice Shelf drainage system flowed across Prydz Bay and showed several changes in flow pattern. In the Early Pliocene, the... -
What lies beneath the Antarctic Ice?
During the summer of 2003-2004, six scientists and technicians spent over a month camped on the Amery Ice Shelf in eastern Antarctica. The aim of their stay was to drill through... -
A Review of the Cenozoic Stratigraphy and Glacial History of the Lambert...
The Cenozoic glacial history of East Antarctica is recorded in part by the stratigraphy of the Prydz Bay-Lambert Graben region. The glacigene strata and associated erosion... -
Seafloor Morphology and Acoustic Facies of the George V Land Shelf
To study the seafloor morpholofy on the George V land shelf, East Antarctica, over 2000 kilometres of high-frequency echo-sounder data were collected between February and March... -
Sediment Core from Beneath the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica, Suggests...
The stability of floating ice shelves is an important indicator of ocean circulation and ice-shelf mass balance. A sub-ice -shelf sediment core collected during the Austral... -
Seafloor bathymetry flythrough of Australia's Antarctic Territory
This flythrough presents seabed bathymetry compilations for the Australian Antarctic margin. The bathymetry data presented is derived from a combination multibeam, singlebeam... -
Bottom currents, sedimentation and ice-sheet retreat facies successions on...
Measurements of water turbidity, currents, seafloor sediment samples and geophysical data document the sedimentary processes and the Late Quaternary sedimentary history of a... -
Leg 188 Sythesis: Transitions in the Glacial History of the Prydz Bay...
Drilling during Leg 119 (1988) and Leg 188 (2000; Sites 1165-1167) of the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) provides direct evidence for long- and short-term changes in Cenozoic... -
Pliocene-Pleistocene glaciomarine sedimentation in eastern Prydz Bay and...
Lithostratigraphy, grain sizes and down-hole logs of Site 1166 on the continental shelf, and Site 1167 on the upper slope, are analyzed to reconstruct glacial processes in... -
Shedding light on the seafloor
In 2007-08 scientists from Australia, Japan and France set out to survey the marine life and habitats in the region adjacent to Terre Adelie and George V Land in East Antarctica... -
Geology of the Stillwell Hills
The Stillwell Hills region comprises granulite facies gneisses which record evidence for multiple periods of deformation and metamorphism spanning more than 2500 Million years.... -
Collaborative East Antarctic Marine Census (CEAMARC): Post-survey report,...
Description of sampling and data acquisition activites carried out by Geoscience Australia staff as part of an Australian Antarctic Division survey to the George V Land margin,... -
Introduction to 'Antarctic Cenozoic Palaeoenvironments: Geologic Record and Models'
The Antarctic region has profoundly affected the global climates of the past 50 million years, influencing sea levels, atmospheric composition and dynamics, and ocean... -
Late Pleistocene and Holocene Sedimentation of the George V Continental...
Climatically controlled glaciological and oceanogrphic environmental changes off the George V Coast during the Late Pleistocene and Holocene have been recontructed from changes... -
Physical Controls on Deep Water Coral Communities on the George V Land...
Dense coral-sponge communities on the upper continental slope at 570 - 950 m off George V Land have been identified as a Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem in the Antarctic. The... -
Continental shelf drift deposit indicates non-steady state Antarctic bottom...
A late Quaternay, current-lain sediment drift deposit over 30 metres in thickness has been discovered on the continental shelf of East Antarctica in an 850 metre deep glacial... -
Ice shelf grounding zone features of western Prydz Bay, Antarctica...
Several grounding zone wedges were left on the floor and flanks of Prydz Channel in western Prydz Bay by the Lambert Glacier during the last glacial cycle. Seismic profiles... -
