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 summer of 2000-2001 from site AM02 on the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica, contains a full and continuous record of glacial retreat.
