This thesis presents an integrated analysis of late Cenozoic (last 14 Ma) glacimarine stratigraphy within the Terror Rift in southern McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. The study area is located in the Windless Bight region of the McMurdo Ice Shelf (NW corner of the Ross Ice Shelf), which overlies a 600 to...
