Andvord Drift: a new type of inner shelf, glacial marine deposystem from the...
Hemipelagic, sediment drift deposits have been discovered and mapped on the Antarctic Peninsula shelf in 300-500 m water depth. The drift located adjacent to Andvord Bay covers... -
What lies beneath the Antarctic Ice?
During the summer of 2003-2004, six scientists and technicians spent over a month camped on the Amery Ice Shelf in eastern Antarctica. The aim of their stay was to drill through... -
Seafloor Morphology and Acoustic Facies of the George V Land Shelf
To study the seafloor morpholofy on the George V land shelf, East Antarctica, over 2000 kilometres of high-frequency echo-sounder data were collected between February and March... -
Lithofacies distribution in relation to the geomorphic provinces of Prydz...
Over the past 15 years, Japanese, Australian and Russian expeditions to Prydz Bay have collected about 30 000 kilometrs of bathymetric data, 6 000 kilometres of sidescan sonar... -
Bottom currents, sedimentation and ice-sheet retreat facies successions on...
Measurements of water turbidity, currents, seafloor sediment samples and geophysical data document the sedimentary processes and the Late Quaternary sedimentary history of a... -
Sediment Core from Beneath the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica, Suggests...
The stability of floating ice shelves is an important indicator of ocean circulation and ice-shelf mass balance. A sub-ice -shelf sediment core collected during the Austral... -
Collaborative East Antarctic Marine Census (CEAMARC): Post-survey report,...
Description of sampling and data acquisition activites carried out by Geoscience Australia staff as part of an Australian Antarctic Division survey to the George V Land margin,... -
Seafloor bathymetry flythrough of Australia's Antarctic Territory
This flythrough presents seabed bathymetry compilations for the Australian Antarctic margin. The bathymetry data presented is derived from a combination multibeam, singlebeam... -
Shedding light on the seafloor
In 2007-08 scientists from Australia, Japan and France set out to survey the marine life and habitats in the region adjacent to Terre Adelie and George V Land in East Antarctica... -
Leg 188 Sythesis: Transitions in the Glacial History of the Prydz Bay...
Drilling during Leg 119 (1988) and Leg 188 (2000; Sites 1165-1167) of the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) provides direct evidence for long- and short-term changes in Cenozoic... -
Geomorphology and sedimentology of the continental shelf adjacent to Mac...
During the Quaternary, the Mac. Robertson shelf of East Antarctica was deeply eroded by glaciers and currents exposing the underlying basement, resulting in a scalped shelf. -
Continental shelf drift deposit indicates non-steady state Antarctic bottom...
A late Quaternay, current-lain sediment drift deposit over 30 metres in thickness has been discovered on the continental shelf of East Antarctica in an 850 metre deep glacial... -
Late Pleistocene and Holocene Sedimentation of the George V Continental...
Climatically controlled glaciological and oceanogrphic environmental changes off the George V Coast during the Late Pleistocene and Holocene have been recontructed from changes... -
Physical Controls on Deep Water Coral Communities on the George V Land...
Dense coral-sponge communities on the upper continental slope at 570 - 950 m off George V Land have been identified as a Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem in the Antarctic. The... -
A Review of the Cenozoic Stratigraphy and Glacial History of the Lambert...
The Cenozoic glacial history of East Antarctica is recorded in part by the stratigraphy of the Prydz Bay-Lambert Graben region. The glacigene strata and associated erosion... -
History of benthic colonisation beneath the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica
This study presents compelling evidence for a diverse and abundant seabed community which has developed over the course of the Holocene beneath the Amery Ice Shelf in East... -
Introduction to 'Antarctic Cenozoic Palaeoenvironments: Geologic Record and Models'
The Antarctic region has profoundly affected the global climates of the past 50 million years, influencing sea levels, atmospheric composition and dynamics, and ocean... -
Sedimentological Signatures of the Sub-Amery Ice Shelf Circulation
Two sediment cores collected from beneath the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica describe the physical sedimentation patterns beneath an existing major embayed ice shelf. Core... -
Sedimenary Processes in the Wilkes Land Margin: A Record of Cenozoic East...
Multichannel seismic data collected off Wilkes Land (East Antarctica) reveal four main units that represent distinct phases in the evolution of the Cenozoic depositional... -
Estimating the biodiversity of the East Antarctic shelf and oceanic zone for...
Ecoregions are defined in terms of community structure in function of abiotic or even anthropogenic forcing. They are mesoscale structures defined on the potential habitat of...
