MARC recordEvidence from Wright Valley for response of the Antarctic ice sheet to climate warming / Michael Lanman Prentice, George H. Denton, Lloyd H. Burckle, David A. Hodell.
| Title: | Evidence from Wright Valley for response of the Antarctic ice sheet to climate warming / Michael Lanman Prentice, George H. Denton, Lloyd H. Burckle, David A. Hodell. |
| Author(s): | Prentice, Michael Lanman. Denton, George H. Burckle, Lloyd H. Hodell, David A. |
| Date: | 1987. |
| In: | Antarctic Journal of the United States. (1987.), Vol. 22(5) (1987) |
| Abstract: | Suggests that Peleus till (between 2 and 4 to 5 Ma BP) was deposited by thin temperate glacier that was wet-based because of warm climate. This implies that west Antarctic ice sheet was absent and that east Antarctic ice sheet was thicker than it is today. |
| Notes: | Antarctic Journal of the United States. Vol. 22(5) :56-58 (1987). |
| Keywords: | 551.332.212 -- Till or boulder clay. 551.336 -- Ice ages. 91(08) -- Expeditions: 1955- US Antarctic Program. E7 -- Glaciology: glacial geology and ice ages. (*7) -- Antarctic regions. |
