Clay mineral analysis of sediments from the Amundsen Sea

The Amundsen Sea embayment is a probable site for the initiation of a future collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. This paper contributes to a better understanding of the...

Sedimentary record of the western Amundsen Sea Embayment

The Amundsen Sea Embayment (ASE) drains approximately 35% of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) and is one of the most rapidly changing parts of the cryosphere. In order to...

Sedimentological and geophysical investigation of sediment cores from the Amu...

Ice loss from the marine-based, potentially unstable West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) contributes to current sea-level rise and may raise sea level by up to 3.3 to 5 meters in...

Sedimentary record of the western Amundsen Sea Embayment after the last glaci...

Reliable dating of glaciomarine sediments deposited on the Antarctic shelf since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) is very challenging because of the general absence of calcareous...

AGE = Deglacial age. Dates from Hillenbrand et al. (2013) and Kirshner et al. (2012) were recalibrated using an marine reservoir effect (MRE) correction of 1300 ± 70 years. Also...

(Table DR1) Age determination of sediment cores from the Amundsen Sea

All 14C-dates were corrected using an offset (Delta R) of 700±200 years from the global marine reservoir effect (= 400 years) in accordance with both uncorrected 14C-dates of...
