RECONSTRUCTING PAST ANTARCTIC ICE FLOW PATHS IN THE ROSS EMBAYMENT, ANTARCTICA USING SAND PETROGRAPHY, PARTICLE SIZE AND DETRITAL ZIRCON PROVENANCE

Schilling, Andrea J. 03 May 2010 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Tills for this study were analyzed from sites in East Antarctica (EA), West Antarctica (WA) and along a transect in the Ross Sea. Particle size, sand petrography, and detrital zircons were used to provide new information on the subglacial geology of Antarctica, as well as assisting in the reconstruction of Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) ice flow paths. Statistical analyses using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S test) reveal that EA and WA zircon age distributions are distinct at a P-value <0.05. This makes it possible to trace the unique signatures from EA and WA into the Ross Sea.
