Lake sediment cores from the Antarcticpeninsula and surrounding islands
Sediment cores from two lakes on the AntarcticPeninsula, Hidden Lake on James Ross Island and Lake Boeckella in Hope Bay, are described, analysed and dated with regard to climatic changes during the Holocene.
Frostdynamik und Permafrost in eisfreien Gebieten der Antarktischen Halbinsel. (Frost dynamics and permafrost in ice-free areas of the AntarcticPeninsula)
In the lower oceanic Antarctic where particular climatic conditions are found, a special type of periglacial geosystems exists with geomorphic effected cryodynamics. The approaches to regional modelling are to be further developed because
the theories of periglacial arctic environments are not sufficient for regional explanation in the periglacial Antarctic.
Subglacial morphology in northern Palmer Land, Antarcticpeninsula
Ice thickness and surface-elevation data gathered from radio echo flights over the Antarcticpeninsula are presented as profiles for five major outlet glaciers in northern Palmer Land and as contour maps for an area of 8 000 km to the east of George
The AA. present the results of an investigation of the ice-rafted debris (IRD) record in 2 suites of sediment cores from the continental rise west of the AntarcticPeninsula and the northern Weddell and Scotia Seas. The objectives are to investigate
whether the cores contain IRD layers that are sedimentologically similar to the Heinrich layers of the North Atlantic and to discuss implications for the Quaternary dynamics of the Antarctic Ice Sheet. The locations of the cores are appropriate
While Greater Antarctica remained continental throughout Mesozoic time, the AntarcticPeninsula was partly covered by sea. Present data suggest that the break-up of Gondwana was initiated in the Middle to data Jurassic with the first significant
lateral movements in the Early Cretaceous. During this period, the AntarcticPeninsula area occupied an important paleogeographical position, near the junction of major new seaways that were opening between South America and Africa, along the eastern coast
of Africa, and between India and the Antarctic-Australasian block. The biogeographical affinities of ammonite faunas in the AntarcticPeninsula are briefly reviewed in the light of these changing paleogeographical conditions.
