Evolution of the East Antarctic ice sheet: a record from the seismic stratigraphy of the C-19 site, Ross Sea, Antarctica ...
Nearly 1000 km of high-resolution single-channel seismic (SCS) reflection data and 1000 km of multi-channel seismic (MCS) data were acquired in the Ross Sea, Antarctica where a large iceberg, C-19, calved from the Ross Ice Shelf in May of 2002. This data set offers a unique opportunity to use a clos...
