Sediments collected from beneath the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica, document sub-ice-shelf circulation of water and sediments throughout the Holocene.
Sediments collected from beneath and adjacent to the front of the Amery Ice Shelf are described. These include a 144cm gravity core collected from beneath the ice shelf containing a 0.5 m thick Holocene age surface layer of siliceous mud and diatom ooze of marine origin, which provides evidence for...

| Summary: | Sediments collected from beneath and adjacent to the front of the Amery Ice Shelf are described. These include a 144cm gravity core collected from beneath the ice shelf containing a 0.5 m thick Holocene age surface layer of siliceous mud and diatom ooze of marine origin, which provides evidence for the landward transport of marine sediments |
