Two Sediment gravity cores and a multicore collected from contourite sediment drifts north and south of the Wyville Thomson Ridge provide a detailed textural record of bottom-current variability since the last glaciation. Four radiocarbon dates indicate that collectively the cores span the last c. 4...
