Orbitally induced oscillations in the East Antarctic ice sheet at the Oligocene/Miocene boundary

TL;DR: Sediment data from shallow marine cores in the western Ross Sea are presented that exhibit well dated cyclic variations, and which link the extent of the East Antarctic ice sheet directly to orbital cycles during the Oligocene/Miocene transition, suggesting that orbital influences at the frequencies of obliquity and eccentricity controlled the oscillations of the ice margin at that time.

Facies analysis and sequence stratigraphy of CRP-2/2A, Victoria Land Basin, Antarctica

TL;DR: The Oligocene to Quaternary succession encountered in CRP-2/2A is divided into twelve recurrent lithofacies (some of which have been subdivided further), reflecting a range of marine, glacimarine and possibly subglacial environments of sediment accumulation as discussed by the authors.
