Geological investigations of the fault lines in the rocks of the Transantarctic Mountains in the area of the Wilson Piedmont Glacier to understand uplift of the mountain range
Entry ID:
K112_1997_1998_NZ_1
Summary
Abstract:
Inferred fault lines in the rocks of the Transantarctic Mountains in the area of the Wilson Piedmont Glacier were investigated to add to the understanding of the uplift of the mountain range. Specifically, the Precambrian to Holocene geology of the Wilson Piedmont Glacier area was surveyed to i) define the eastern limits and geometry of the marker horizons which could serve to identify faults, ...
