Evaluating quaternary glacial till sheet volume and duration of grounding events using sediment flux calculations in the Eastern basin paleotroughs, Ross Sea, Anarctica

A sequence of three seismically-resolvable, back-stepping grounding zone wedges (GZWs) within the Glomar-Challenger Basin paleo-ice-stream trough is conventionally interpreted to have been deposited by the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) since the end of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). For this to b...
