Abstract Deciphering the sub-ice geology in the Wilkes Subglacial Basin region is important for understanding solid earth-ice sheet evolution and for assessing geological ties between East Antarctica and formerly contiguous Australia. We analyse marine sediment samples derived from drill site U1359...
