Establishing the pattern of Holocene-LGM changes in sediment contributions from Antarctica to the Southern Ocean

Entry ID: Goldstein_OPP_0088054

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: Terrigenous clastic sediments are brought to the ocean from continental sources
via rivers, ice and wind, and distributed within the ocean by surface and deep
currents. By investigating long-lived radioactive decay systems, the sediment
sources can be traced and the geological history of those sources can be
delineated. The sediments deposited along the Antarctic coast represent a
mixture of ...
