No significant ice-sheet expansion beyond present ice margins during the past 4500 yr at Rauer Group, East Antarctica

Abstract The history of glacial advances and retreats of the East Antarctic ice sheet during the Holocene is not well-known, due to limited field evidence in both the marine and terrestrial realm. A 257-cm-long sediment core was recovered from a marine inlet in the Rauer Group, East Antarctica, 1.8...
