Download or read book Reconstruction of LGM and Post LGM Glacial Environment of McMurdo Sound written by James Edward Stutz (II.) and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: McMurdo Sound represents a landscape at the crossroads of the West and East Antarctic Ice Sheets and has seen repeated occupation by both cold and warm based ice. Current ice sheet reconstructions place grounded ice across McMurdo Sound at the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), thus the seafloor is expected to display morphologic features recording the LGM glaciation. Analysis of high-resolution multibeam bathymetry data and seismic surveys documents landforms marking glacial-geological processes beneath and at the margins of the ice sheets and are used to help determine the extent and style of glacial behavior on glacially influenced continental margins. The dominant morphologic features on the seafloor of McMurdo Sound are channel systems emanating eastward from the fjords of the Transantarctic Mountains (TAM) coast and northward from beneath the McMurdo Ice Shelf. A wide range of channel systems is observed. MacKay Sea Valley, at the northern limit of McMurdo Sound, displays a 6-8km wide, u-shaped valley with lineations formed by streaming ice of the expanded MacKay Glacier. A large submarine outwash fan extends 10's of km eastward from the mouth of the sea valley. The Wilson and Taylor Sea Valleys cross and incise the western shelf and slope of McMurdo Sound, and show characteristics of sediment gravity flow transport and deposition. Wilson and Taylor Sea Valleys are .5-2km wide, do not contain features indicative of streaming ice, and appear to splay into numerous generations of fan systems at channel mouths. These channel/fan systems display cross-cutting relationships that record the changing position, over time, of the ice margin along the TAM coast. In the Erebus Basin, the ~north-south trending moat in eastern McMurdo Sound with depths>900 m, a continuous, broad, anastomosing channel system transports material derived from beneath the McMurdo Ice Shelf and/or the steep eastern slope of Ross Island along the axis of the Erebus basin. The dominance of channel systems indicates abundant water from ice margins, leading to sediment gravity flow depositional systems and large-scale sediment transport across the Sound and ultimately northward out of the Sound. Flat-topped mounds at ~500 mbsl in southeastern McMurdo Sound may represent subglacial erosion of preexisting features, placing a constraint on grounded ice limits. A prominent, linear escarpment is observed on the western slope at ~500mbsl and may record the waning ice sheet to ice shelf transition along the TAM coast during the waning phase of the LGM. Together these observations suggest that the McMurdo Ice Sheet was grounded throughout McMurdo Sound at the LGM and may have experienced a rapid break out at 11 and 10 ka BP, that restricted grounded ice to depths of

Download or read book Volcanism in Antarctica 200 Million Years of Subduction Rifting and Continental Break up written by J.L. Smellie and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2021-06-09 with total page 802 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This memoir is the first to review all of Antarctica’s volcanism between 200 million years ago and the Present. The region is still volcanically active. The volume is an amalgamation of in-depth syntheses, which are presented within distinctly different tectonic settings. Each is described in terms of (1) the volcanology and eruptive palaeoenvironments; (2) petrology and origin of magma; and (3) active volcanism, including tephrochronology. Important volcanic episodes include: astonishingly voluminous mafic and felsic volcanic deposits associated with the Jurassic break-up of Gondwana; the construction and progressive demise of a major Jurassic to Present continental arc, including back-arc alkaline basalts and volcanism in a young ensialic marginal basin; Miocene to Pleistocene mafic volcanism associated with post-subduction slab-window formation; numerous Neogene alkaline volcanoes, including the massive Erebus volcano and its persistent phonolitic lava lake, that are widely distributed within and adjacent to one of the world’s major zones of lithospheric extension (the West Antarctic Rift System); and very young ultrapotassic volcanism erupted subglacially and forming a world-wide type example (Gaussberg).
Download or read book Marine Mammals written by Randall W. Davis and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-14 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive book provides new insights into the morphological, metabolic, thermoregulatory, locomotory, diving, sensory, feeding, and sleep adaptations of Cetacea (whales and dolphins), Pinnipedia (seals, sea lions and walrus), Sirenia (manatees and dugongs) and sea otters for an aquatic life. Each chapter reviews the discoveries from previous studies and integrates recent research using new techniques and technology. Readers will gain an understanding of the remarkable adaptations that enable marine mammals to spend all or most of their lives at sea, often while hunting prey at depth.
Download or read book Thermal Ice Drilling Technology written by Pavel G. Talalay and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-04 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a review of thermal ice drilling technologies, including the design, parameters, and performance of various tools and drills for making holes in ice sheets, ice caps, mountain glaciers, ice shelves, and sea ice. In recent years, interest in thermal drilling technology has increased as a result of subglacial lake explorations and extraterrestrial investigations. The book focuses on the latest ice drilling technologies, but also discusses the historical development of ice drilling tools and devices over the last 100 years to offer valuable insights into what is possible and what not to do in the future. Featuring numerous figures and pictures, many of them published for the first time, it is intended for specialists working in ice-core sciences, polar oceanography, drilling engineers and glaciologists, and is also a useful reference for researchers and graduate students working in engineering and cold-regions technology.
