Geological and geomorphic data and Sirius Group core analysis (stratigraphy, petrographical analysis, ground temperature and isotope analysis) from Table Mountain to determine the depositional history
Entry ID: K047_1996_1997_NZ_1

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: The depositional and post depositional history of the Sirius Group tillite in the Dry Valleys area was investigated to resolve the ongoing debate as to whether the East Antarctic ice sheet formed 14 million years ago and retained its shape until present day (stabilists view) or if the nearly complete deglaciation of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet occurred 3 million years ago explaining the presence ...
