Holocene glacial-marine sedimentation in the Prydz Bay, Antarctica

The typical glacial-marine sedimentation has been recorded from core NP93-2 in the Prydz Bay, Antarctica. The sedimentation processes, sedimentary environment and paleoclimate variations since 12937 a B.P. have been discussed, based on grain size, mineral composition and micropaleontological data, e...

Description
Summary:The typical glacial-marine sedimentation has been recorded from core NP93-2 in the Prydz Bay, Antarctica. The sedimentation processes, sedimentary environment and paleoclimate variations since 12937 a B.P. have been discussed, based on grain size, mineral composition and micropaleontological data, etc. The climate variation occurred at 10 ka, which expressed that there were increased inputs of terrigenous clastics. The climate change once again but temporarily took place at late Holocene.
