Collaborative Research: Refining a 500-kyr Climate Record From the Mt. Moulton Blue Ice Field in West Antarctica

Entry ID: dunbar_NSF0230348

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: There is intense scientific interest in the history, dynamics and future of the
West Antarctic Ice Sheet because it is the world's only remaining marine ice
sheet and is considered by many to be inherently unstable and prone to
catastrophic collapse and melting (e.g. Hollin, 1962; Hughes, 1973; Mercer,
