Sediments were studied in the southern Weddell Sea (Antarctica)that had been both covered by the ice shelf prior to 1986 (ICS) and outside the ice shelf (IFS). The composition of particulate matter in these sediments shows that the sedimentation under the ice shelf is quantitatively similar to that...
