Cosmogenic nuclide data for glacial erratics - Marble Hills, Ellsworth Mountains, Antarctica

Entry ID: 2006_MARBLE_HILLS_UW_COSMOGENIC_NUCLIDE_DATA

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: This data set consists of cosmogenic nuclide concentrations in glacial erratics
from the Marble Hills, a group of peaks in the southern Heritage Range,
Antarctica. Approximately one-third of these samples have Holocene exposure
ages, indicating that they have been exposed by thinning of the West Antarctic
Ice Sheet since the last glacial maximum (LGM). The remainder of the ...
