Workshop on Antarctic Meteorite Stranding Surfaces : held at University of Pittsburgh, July 13-15, 1988

The workshop recognized three prime functions of meteorite stranding surfaces. They provide: A proxy record of climatic change (that is, a long record of climatic change is probably preserved in the exposed ice stratigraphy); A proxy record of ice volume change; and A source of unique nonterrestrial...
