Sediment cores collected on RRS James Clark Ross cruise (JR104), Bellingshausen Sea, 2004

Sediments cores collected aboard the RRS James Clark Ross (JR104) in the Bellingshausen Sea, 2004.





This work was carried out as part of the first systematic investigation of the former ice drainage basin in the southern Bellingshausen Sea. Reconnaissance data collected on previous cruises JR04 (1993) and cruises of R/V Polarstern in 1994 and 1995 suggested that this area contained the outlet of a very large ice drainage basin during late Quaternary glacial periods. The data and samples collected allowed us to address questions about the timing and rate of grounding line retreat from the continental shelf, the dynamic character of the ice that covered the shelf, and its influence on glaciomarine processes on the adjacent continental slope.

Statement

Data collection:

The programme of data collection was very successful, despite the fact that parts of the area investigated were still covered by first year sea ice.
