The Natural Variability and Past Environmental change Sub-program of the Co-operative Research Centre for Antarctic and Southern Ocean Environments aims to use the records contained in ice and sediments to understand past environmental change to calibrate climatic models. The marine geoscience program for Voyage 7 consists of a sea bed sampling program designed to\n\n. Elucidate sedimentation processes on the Antarctic shelf and slope.\n\n. Provide sediment cores from the Antarctic shelf and slope for the study ofQuaternary environmental change.\n\nSampling is proposed for Prydz Bay and the adjoining Mac. Robertson Shelf. Prydz Bay is an important site for studying the past behaviour of the Lambert Glacier-Amery Ice Shelf system which is the largest ice stream draining the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. The adjacent but contrasting Mac. Robertson Shelf may not have experienced the same style of glaciation during the Quatemary and has accumulated biogenic sediments in places. Bathymetry and 3.5kHz echo sounder data from Prydz Bay reveal features formed by erosion and deposition beneath the Amery Ice Shelf.
