Southern Exposure: New Paleoclimate Insights From Southern Ocean and Antarctic Margin Sediments
Much of what is known about the evolution of Antarctica’s cryosphere in the geologic past is derived from ice-distal deep-sea sedimentary records. Recent advances in drilling technology and climate proxy methods have made it possible to retrieve and interpret high-quality ice-proximal sedimentary se...
