A 2019 Nature Communications article summarizes progress in deciphering the geological record of Antarctic ice shelves. The work addresses challenges in discriminating sub-ice-shelf sediments and dating these records to reconstruct past ice sheet dynamics. It is published by authors from Geoscience Australia and other institutions.
Use Cases
- Reconstructing past ice shelf extent based on sedimentological proxies mentioned in the description
- Testing ice sheet model predictions against geological evidence of past changes
- Improving dating methods for sub-ice-shelf sediment records as discussed in the summary
