Sedimentology of various cores from the West Antarctic continental margin
Three megascopic and disseminated tephra layers (which we refer to as layers A, B, and C) occur in late Quaternary glaciomarine sediments deposited on the West Antarctic... -
Physical and chemical investigations on ice cores from the Filchner-Ronne Ice...
The accumulation and distribution of the 2H content of near-surface layers in the eastern part of the Ronne Ice Shelf were determined from 16 firn cores drilled to about 10 m... -
Density and stable oxygen isotope profiles of four snow pits from Berkner Isl...
The ice cap on Berkner Island is grounded on bedrock within the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf and is, therefore, expected to be a well-suited place to retrieve long-term ice-core... -
Physical and chemical analysis of firn cores from Ronne Ice Shelf, Antarctica
This data on the distribution of the accumulation rate and 18O content of near-surface layers in the eastern part of the Ronne Ice Shelf, Antarctica, were derived from an... -
Abundance of ostracoda in sediment cores CRP-1 and CRP-2
Sparse, poorly preserved late Oligocene (3 species) and early Miocene (4 species) ostracod faunas have been recovered from CRP-2A, while relatively more abundant Quaternary... -
Preliminary results and documentation of sediment core CRP-1 from the Ross Se...
The first hole of the Cape Roberts Project, CRP-1, was drilled in October, 1997, to a depth of 148 metres below the sea floor (mbsf) before being terminated unexpectedly the... -
Geochemistry on smectites in sediment cores CRP-1 and CRP-2 from the Ross Sea...
TEM (transmission electron microscopy) observations and microanalyses on smectite microparticles in the sediments of the CRP-2A core were carried out to determine their origin... -
Age determination with strontium isotopes on sediment core CRP-1 from the Ros...
Strontium isotope stratigraphy was used to date five discrete horizons within CRP-1. Early and late Quaternary (0.87-1.3 Ma and 0-0.67 Ma respectively) age sediments overlie a... -
Investigation of diagenesis in sediment core CRP-1 from the Ross Sea, Antarctica
A diagenetic study was carried out on the cored Miocene section in CRP-1 by thin-section, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, electron microprobe and stable... -
Geochemical investigations of elements in sediment core CRP-1 from the Ross S...
Geochemical data are presented for samples from strata, mainly of Miocene age, in the Cape Roberts-1 core (western McMurdo Sound, Antarctica) to assess the sediment provenance.... -
Investigation of Miocene foraminifera in sediment core CRP-1 from the Ross Se...
A faunal comprising 18 foraminiferal taxa wa recovered from a suite of 52 core samples from lower Miocene sandstone, claystone and diamictite in the CRP-1 drillhole, Cape... -
Investigation of Pliocene foraminifera on sediment core CRP-1 from the Ross S...
Mixed assemblages of Pliocene and Quaternary foraminifera occur within the Quaternary succession of the CRP-1 drillhole. Pliocene foraminifera are not present in the lowermost... -
Investigation of Quaternary foraminifera in sediment core CRP-1 from the Ross...
Foraminifera are examined in twenty-six samples from a 44 metre succession of Quaternary glacial sediments recovered from the CRP-1 drillhole on Roberts Ridge, southwestern Ross... -
Geochemistry of bulk samples and various minerals of sediment core CRP-1 from...
Thirty-nine medium and fine grained sandstones from between 19,26 and 147,23 mbsf in the Cape Roberts-l core (CRP-1) were analysed for 10 major and 16 trace elements. Using...
