Coordinated effort in progress to decipher cenozoic ice sheet evolution
The Antarctic cryosphere has had a major effect on Cenozoic global climates, sea levels, oceanography, and Southern Hemisphere biota. Yet the climatic history of Antarctica and its contribution to global climates remain mostly unknown. Our understanding of Antarctic ice sheet history comes largely f...
