Description :
Geochemical data and geophysical measurements from a 554-m ice-core from Taylor Dome, East Antarctica, provide the basis for climate reconstruction in the western Ross Embayment through the entire Wisconsinan and Holocene. Finally, the AA. discuss the significance of the Taylor Dome record in the context of Antarctic ice sheet configuration, regional outlet and alpine glaciers, and global climate dynamics.
