Summary

Abstract: The Cape Roberts Project was a multinational project in which the Antarctic programmes of Australia, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the USA collaborated together to take a series of cores off the Victoria Land coast from a drilling rig set on the fast sea ice. The aim was to obtain 1,500 m continuous core through strata from 30 Ma in age back to perhaps as much as 100 Ma in ...

Quality The Cape Roberts Project was a multinational project in which the Antarctic programmes of Australia, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the USA collaborated together to take a series of cores off the Victoria Land coast from a drilling rig set on the fast sea ice. The cores are stored at Florida State University containment facility. Research is ongoing from many different scientists.
