In order to contribute to the reconstruction of the deglaciation history of the Marguerite Bay area (similar to 68 degrees S, Maritime Antarctic) and to estimate the rock weathering rate in this Antarctic sector, 28 sites (7 on Rothera Point and 21 on Anchorage Island) were characterised using Schmi...
