The grounding line of the Siple Coast incorporates six major ice streams, which together drain around a third of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. Previously, the ~2000 km-long feature had only been sampled and directly observed at Whillans Ice Stream. This thesis examines glaciomarine sediment and proc...
