Provenance of the Sirius Group and Related Upper Cenozoic Glacial Deposits from the Transantarctic Mountains, Antarctica: Relation to Landscape Evolution and Ice-Sheet Drainage

This study uses bulk X-ray diffraction (XRD), heavy mineral analysis and analysis of detrital modes of the Sirius Group and related Upper Cenozoic deposits to evaluate their provenance. The data suggest that deposition of the Sirius Group occurred as a result of long-term glacial denudation of the T...
