A new Holocene relative sea-level curve for Terra Nova Bay, Antarctica
More than 100 radiocarbon dates of penguin guano and remains, shell and seal skin afford ages for raised beaches adjacent to Terra Nova Bay, Antarctica. These dates permit construction of a new relative sea-level curve that bears on the timing of deglaciation. Recession of the Ross Sea ice-sheet gro...
