The evolution of the Brazos and Colorado fluvial/deltaic systems during the Late Quarternary: An integrated study, offshore Texas
(1995)
The evolution of the Brazos and Colorado fluvial/deltaic systems over the last 190,000 years is examined. The data set includes high-resolution seismic data, lithostratigraphic data from offshore platform borings, cores ...
Late Quaternary glacial history and ice-sheet behavior of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet in Pine Island Bay, Antarctica
(2001)
Marine-geological and -geophysical studies were undertaken to determine Late Quaternary glacial history of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet in Pine Island Bay, Antarctica. Analysis of geomorphic features and sediments on the ...
Late Quaternary highstand and transgressive deltas of the ancestral Colorado River: Eustatic and climatic controls on deposition
(1998)
Deltaic deposits were the main sinks for sequestering large volumes of sand on the northern Gulf of Mexico continental shelf during the late Quaternary. Examination of high resolution seismic reflection data, cores, and ...
Marine geology and geophysics of the western South Orkney Plateau, Antarctica: Implications for Quaternary glacial history, tectonics, and paleoceanography
(1988)
Piston cores and single-channel seismic profiles were collected from the western South Orkney Plateau to investigate glacial history, survey the seismic stratigraphy, and test the feasibility of paleoceanographic interpretation ...
Marine geology of the northwestern Weddell Sea and adjacent coastal fjords and bays: implications for glacial history
(1985)
Sedimentologic, compositional, and cleat shape analyses reveal that piston cores obtained on the northwest Weddell See continental shelf penetrated residual glacial marine sediments adjacent to Seymour Island, compound ...
Turbidite deposition on the Bellingshausen Abyssal Plain: sedimentologic implications
(1985)
A number of piston cores from the Bellingshausen abyssal plain contain gravel and sand units which are interpreted as turbidites deposited in submarine channels. Middle and outer fan deposits are lacking, although core ...
Timescale and Latitudinal dependence of Glacial Erosion Rates from Patagonia and Antarctic Peninsula Tidewater Glaciers (46-65 deg S)
(2012)
I use time-constrained sediment volumes delivered by glaciers calving into Marinelli Fjord (55°S), an outlet glacier of the Cordillera Darwin Ice Cap, Southern Patagonia, to determine erosion rates across different timescales. ...
The Antarctic Peninsula ice sheet since the Last Glacial Maximum
(2006)
Antarctic is the coldest, driest, and most poorly understood climate system on the planet. Data within these pages contributes to the understanding of the Antarctic Peninsula region, a global warming "hot spot" roughly the ...
Modern sedimentary dynamics and Quaternary glacial history of Marguerite Bay, Antarctic Peninsula
(1988)
Piston cores and single-channel seismic data were acquired in Marguerite Bay, Antarctic Peninsula, to determine modern sedimentary conditions and recent glacial history of the area. Seismic data in the bay shows a rugged ...
Seismic facies investigation and late Quaternary glacial history of the Chilean shelf and fjords and Antarctic Peninsula fjords
(1995)
High-resolution seismic data collected in inland waters Chile and the Antarctic Peninsula (41$\sp\circ$S-65$\sp\circ$S) were interpreted using seismic facies analysis. Piston cores provide some lithologic control on the ...
