Sequence stratigraphic analysis of the CRP-1, Cape Roberts Project, McMurdo Sound, Antarctica
Vertical facies associations within the CRP- 1 drillcorc reveal a strong cyclicity and facilitate the development of a sequence stratigraphic framework. The sedimentary record appears to be punctuated by a series of erosional sequence boundaries which are here inferred to be the product of cycles of...
