USCGC GLACIER 1976 and 1978 Cruises. Rose Sea, Antarctica Sediment Descriptions

摘要

The icebreaker collected 36 piston cores and 32 trigger cores from 39 stations. Most cores were taken north of Ross Island, next to the Ross Ice Shelf, and along the 1,000-meter depth north of the Ross Ice Shelf. Longest core is 1,077 centimeters; most are half that length or less. Objectives were to determine the climatic and oceanic history of the region and the west antarctic ice sheet.
