Aeromagnetic and gravity data of the Central Transantarctic Mountains
Entry ID:
nsf0232042
Summary
Abstract:
Near complete coverage of the East Antarctic shield by ice hampers geological
study of crustal architecture important for understanding global tectonic and climate history. Limited exposures in the central Transantarctic Mountains (CTAM), however, show that Archean and Proterozoic rocks of the shield as well as Neoproterozoic-lower Paleozoic sedimentary successions were ...
