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

Changes in planktonic assemblages during sapropel S5 deposition: Evidence from Urania Basin area, eastern Mediterranean

TL;DR: A micropaleontological study of planktonic assemblages on the partially laminated sapropel S5 (late Pleistocene, marine isotope stage (MIS) 5e) was performed in two piston cores from Urania Basin area (eastern Mediterranean, west of Crete) as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neogene tectonic and climatic evolution of the Western Ross Sea, Antarctica — Chronology of events from the AND-1B drill hole

Gary S. Wilson, +63 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used magnetic polarity stratigraphy, diatom biostratigraphy and in-situ volcanic clasts from the McMurdo Ice Shelf for the inference of age constraint by correlation with well-dated regional volcanic events.

Palaeontologic Characterisation and Analysis of the AND-1B Core, ANDRILL McMurdo Ice Shelf Project, Antarctica

TL;DR: A high-resolution diatom biostratigraphy for the Antarctic continental shelf is now under development as mentioned in this paper, with diatom-rich sediments constituting nearly half the upper 600 m of core, subdivided into 13 diatomaceous units.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pliocene-Pleistocene diatom biostratigraphy of nearshore Antarctica from the AND-1B drillcore, McMurdo Sound

TL;DR: In this article, a diatom biostratigraphic scheme spanning the last ca. 5 Ma is proposed for the Antarctic near-shore area, based on prior work from high latitude drillcores.
