Datazioni U-Pb SU Zirconi nei sedimenti post massimo glaciale del mare di Ross (Antartide)
Reconstruction of the dynamics of polar ice sheets is very important for climate modelling. In this work, I tried to obtain some information about the ice flow across the Ross Sea (Antarctica) through sedimentary provenance analysis. Samples have been collected from seven cores drilled in the past y...

Reconstruction of the dynamics of polar ice sheets is very important for climate modelling.

These grains have been analyzed first at a cathodoluminescence microscope and then with the U-Pb method at the ICP-MS lab of CNR-IGG in Pavia.
