Title: | Synthesis of the Initial Scientific Results of the MIS Project (AND-1B Core), Victoria Land Basin, Antarctica | Journal: | Terra Antartica | Series/Report no.: | 3 /14 (2007) | Publisher: | Terra Antartica Publication | Issue Date: | 2007 | Keywords: | MIS project ANDRILL ANTARCTICA |
Subject Classification: | 03. Hydrosphere::03.01. General::03.01.06. Paleoceanography and paleoclimatology | Abstract: | The ANDRILL Program successfully recovered a 1285 m-long succession of cyclic glacimarine sediment with interbedded volcanic deposits in its first season of drilling from the McMurdo Ice Shelf (MIS). The MIS AND-1B drill core represents the longest and most complete (98% recovery) geological record from the Antarctic continental margin to date, and will provide a key reference record of climate and ice-sheet variability through the Late Neogene. Here we present a synopsis of this Initial Science Report with emphasis on the potential of the record for improving our knowledge of Antarctica’s influence on global climate. |
