The northwestern sector of the Amery Ice Shelf, East Antarctica, has a layered structure,due to the presence of both meteoric ice and a marine ice layer resulting from sub-shelf freezing processes. Crystal orientation fabric and grain-size data are presented for ice cores obtained from two boreholes...
