Components of an Antarctic trough-mouth fan: examples from the Crary Fan, Weddell Sea
Trough-mouth fans (TMFs) are large depocentres of glacially influenced sediments formed at the mouths of some glacially carved cross-shelf troughs (Vorren et al. 1989). They develop in front of ice streams grounded at, or near to, the shelf edge, which transported large volumes of glacigenic sedimen...
