Journal ArticleDOI

Obliquity-paced Pliocene West Antarctic ice sheet oscillations

Tim R Naish, +60 more
- 19 Mar 2009 - 
TL;DR: A marine glacial record from the upper 600 m of the AND-1B sediment core recovered from beneath the northwest part of the Ross ice shelf is presented and well-dated, ∼40-kyr cyclic variations in ice-sheet extent linked to cycles in insolation influenced by changes in the Earth’s axial tilt (obliquity) during the Pliocene are demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clay mineral distribution in surface sediments of the South Atlantic: sources, transport, and relation to oceanography

TL;DR: In this article, surface samples from abyssal sediments of the South Atlantic, from parts of the equatorial Atlantic, and of the Antarctic Ocean, were investigated for clay content and clay mineral composition.
Journal ArticleDOI

A community-based geological reconstruction of Antarctic Ice Sheet deglaciation since the Last Glacial Maximum

Michael J. Bentley, +76 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a series of timeslice maps for 20 ka, 15 ka, 10 ka and 5 ka, including grounding line position and ice sheet thickness changes, along with a clear assessment of levels of confidence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calibration and application of marine sedimentary physical properties using a multi-sensor core logger

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined geophysical data from a multi-sensor core logger (MSCL), a logging device providing continuous measurements of gamma-ray attenuation, p-wave travel time, and magnetic susceptibility on marine sediment cores.
Journal ArticleDOI

Benthic foraminiferal assemblages from the eastern Weddell Sea between 68 and 73°S: Distribution, ecology and fossilization potential

TL;DR: In this article, surface sediment samples taken with a vented box corer from the eastern Weddell Sea on four profiles perpendicular to the continental margin have been investigated for their benthic foraminiferal content.
