Exhumation and tectonic history of inaccessible subglacial interior East Antarctica from thermochronology on glacial erratics

Glacially transported igneous rocks eroded from the deep interior of ice-covered East Antarctica constrain a remarkable episodic cooling and exhumation history that helps unravel its mysterious tectonic evolution over the last 500 million years.
