Wilkes subglacial basin ice sheet response to Southern Ocean warming during late Pleistocene interglacials

Crotti et al. reconstructed the dynamics of the Wilkes Subglacial Basin (Antarctica) during the past 350,000 years. Their study reveals that a portion of the East Antarctic ice sheet experienced an extensive retreat 330,000 years ago.
