Sedimentary processes related to oscillations of the marine-based sector of Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) in the Ross Embayment over the past 13 Myr are examined at various timescales from stratigraphic records of glacial advance and retreat obtained from the McMurdo Sound region. An initial sedimentary...
