8. DISTRIBUTION OF CLAY MINERALS IN DRIFT SEDIMENTS ON THE CONTINENTAL RISE WEST OF THE ANTARCTIC PENINSULA
The clay mineral compositions of upper Miocene to Quaternary sedi-ments recovered at Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 178, Sites 1095 and 1096, from the continental rise west of the Antarctic Peninsula were analyzed in order to reconstruct the Neogene and Quaternary Ant-arctic paleoclimate and ice d...
