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... -
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... -
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... -
Bioregionalization of the George V Shelf, East Antarctica
The East Antarctic continental shelf has had very few studies examining the macrobenthos structure or relating biological communities to the abiotic environment. In this study,... -
Physical Controls on Coral Communities on the George V Land Slope: Some...
Dense coral-sponge communities on the upper continental slope off George V Land have been identified as a Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem in the Antarctic. The challenge is now to... -
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... -
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... -
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. -
Geology of the Stillwell Hills
The Stillwell Hills region comprises granulite facies gneisses which record evidence for multiple periods of deformation and metamorphism spanning more than 2500 Million years.... -
Late Neogene Ice Drainage Changes in Prydz Bay, East Antarctica and the...
During the late Neogene, the Lambert Glacier-Amery Ice Shelf drainage system flowed across Prydz Bay and showed several changes in flow pattern. In the Early Pliocene, the... -

The Stillwell Hills region comprises granulite facies gneisses which record evidence for multiple periods of deformation and metamorphism spanning more than 2500 Million years.... -
Topographic Controls on Post-Oligocene Changes in Ice-sheet Dynamics, Prydz...
Within the general trend of post-Eocene cooling, the largest and oldest outlet of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet underwent a change from ice-cliff to ice-stream and/or ice-shelf... -
Ice shelf grounding zone features of western Prydz Bay, Antarctica...
Several grounding zone wedges were left on the floor and flanks of Prydz Channel in western Prydz Bay by the Lambert Glacier during the last glacial cycle. Seismic profiles... -
Physical Controls on Coral Communities on the George V Land Slope: Some...
Dense coral-sponge communities on the upper continental slope off George V Land have been identified as a Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem in the Antarctic. The challenge is now to... -
Community Structure and Benthic Habitats across the George V Shelf, East...
Physical and biological characteristics of benthic communities are analysed from underwater video footage collected across the George V Shelf during the 2007/2008 CEAMARC... -
Continental Shelf Record of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet Evolution:...
The late Quaternary ice sheet/ice shelf extent in the George V Basin (East Antarctica) has been reconstructed through analyses of Chirp sub-bottom profiles, integrated with... -
Pliocene-Pleistocene glaciomarine sedimentation in eastern Prydz Bay and...
Lithostratigraphy, grain sizes and down-hole logs of Site 1166 on the continental shelf, and Site 1167 on the upper slope, are analyzed to reconstruct glacial processes in... -
Davis Coastal Seabed Mapping Survey, Antarctica (GA-4301 / AAS2201 / HI468)...
The Davis Coastal Seabed Mapping Survey, Antarctica (GA-4301 / AAS2201 / HI468) was acquired by the Australian Antarctic Division workboat Howard Burton during February-March... -
Processes controlling the formation of the Mertz Drift, George Vth...
Recently discovered drift deposits on the Antarctic continental shelf provide access to information on the Holocene palaeoceanography of the bottom current regime within deep... -
Seismic Stratigraphy and Sediment Distribution on the Wilkes Land and Terre...
Seismic reflection data show the existence of two major sedimentary basins along the continental margin of Wilkes Land and Terre Adélie, East Antarctica, that contain more than...
