Glacial-interglacial cycles in detrital sediment supply to the Amundsen Sea: Implications for West Antarctic Ice Sheet dynamics during the Late Pleistocene

The West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) plays a key role in the global climate system and its collapse could contribute up to 4.3 m of sea-level rise. Mass loss of this marine-based ice sheet is largely caused by ocean-driven melting of ice shelves. This is confimed by modern observational data which sh...
