This dissertation describes three research projects on the glacial history of Antarctica using measurements of cosmogenic-nuclides in glacial deposits and bedrock surfaces. The first chapter investigates the deglaciation chronology of the Ross Sea following the last ice age. Abrupt thinning of glaci...
