Title: | A Record of Antarctic Climate and Ice Sheet History Recovered | Journal: | EOS | Series/Report no.: | 88/50(2007) | Publisher: | AGU | Issue Date: | 2007 | Keywords: | Antarctic climate |
Subject Classification: | 02. Cryosphere::02.03. Ice cores::02.03.05. Paleoclimate | Abstract: | Antarctica’s late Cenozoic (the past ~15 million years) climate history is poorly known from direct evidence, owing to its remoteness, an extensive sea ice apron, and an ice sheet cover over the region for the past 34 million years. Consequently, knowledge about the role of Antarctica’s ice sheets in global sea level and climate has relied heavily upon interpretations of oxygen isotope records from deep-sea cores. Whereas these isotopic records have revolutionized our understanding of climate-ice-ocean interactions, questions still remain about the specific role of Antarctic ice sheets in global climate. Such questions can be addressed from geological records at the marine margin of the ice sheets, recovered by drilling from floating ice platforms [e.g., Davey et al., 2001; Harwood et al., 2006; Barrett, 2007]. |
