| Title: | Changes in climate, ocean and ice-sheet conditions in the Ross embayment, Antarctica, at 6 ka / Eric J. Steig, Charles P. Hart, James W.C. White, Wendy L. Cunningham, Matthew D. Davis, Eric S. Saltzman. |
| Author(s): | Steig, Eric J. Hart, Charles P. White, James W. C. Cunningham, Wendy L. Davis, Matthew D. Saltzman, Eric S. |
| Date: | 1998. |
| In: | Annals of Glaciology. (1998.), Vol. 27 (1998) |
| Abstract: | Data from Taylor Dome, East Antarctica and sediment cores from western Ross Sea suggest abrupt cooling and concomitant increase in sea-ice cover about 6000 BP. Radiocarbon dates from raised beach deposits indicate retreat of ice shelves in Ross embayment ceased about 6 ka, coinciding with other environmental changes inferred. Climate seems to be important in controlling evolution of ice-shelf margins following end of last glaciation. |
